1801 N Federal Highway is a landmark property undergoing a full repositioning under new ownership in the heart of East Boca Raton. The new landlord is converting the entire hotel into residential one-bedroom studio apartments and student housing, bringing a built-in base of daily residents directly above the ground-floor restaurant space.
That creates a rare setup for a restaurant operator: a brand-new residential population living on site, US-1 frontage with roughly 60,000 cars per day, and one of the wealthiest, highest-demand submarkets in South Florida surrounding the door. The property sits minutes from Florida Atlantic University and Lynn University, within walking distance of the beach and Mizner Park, in the middle of East Boca’s affluent residential and daytime traffic.
The available ground-floor restaurant space is 6,221 SF, second generation, delivered as a gray shell with the hood and grease trap already in place. The open floor plan can be divided to a smaller footprint and built out for any concept. A full liquor license is available and delivery is immediate.
This is a signature opportunity for a qualified, financially sound operator to bring a big-time restaurant to a high-visibility corner of East Boca Raton. Free rent and a tenant improvement allowance are available to the right group. Ownership is delivering a fully renovated building with new residents above and heavy US-1 exposure out front.
