Boca Raton’s unique lifestyle is captured in the urban design of its town center district, known as Mizner Park. This development was a major public/private effort to revitalize a fading downtown by replacing a failed shopping mall, dating from 1974, with a new mix of uses. Centered around the grand outdoor Plaza Real are numerous mixed-use buildings that integrate office and retail space, residential apartments and townhouses, cinemas, restaurants, museums and the new Center for the Arts complex. Parking for over 2,500 vehicles is accessible along the street and in adjacent structures. Mizner Park has been called the most important mixed-use project in the last 20 years, received the 1991 American Institute of Architects Citation for Excellence in Design and has become a textbook case study for successful mixed-use planning and design.
