Where new homes are being built in Boca Raton
Almost all new building with a Boca Raton address is in the west, on and around Lyons Road, because the east side is largely built out. Local reporting in May 2026 put GL Homes' planned total along the Lyons Road corridor at roughly 1,000 homes, combining Lotus Edge on the west side with a newly approved 322-home project to the east, across from Olympic Heights Community High School at 20101 Lyons Road.
Toll Brothers is building at Meravita in ZIP 33496 and at Layton Pointe just north in Delray Beach. Everything else tagged as new on the portals is mostly single custom or spec homes on individual lots.
Community table: what builders list for Boca Raton in 2026
Only a handful of new-build communities carry a Boca Raton address, and most of them are in the western ZIP codes 33434 and 33496. These are the ones the builders themselves list for Boca Raton as of September 2026.
| Community | Builder | Status | Builder pricing | Home type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lotus Edge, 33434 | GL Homes | Now selling | Fiji collection from $1.7M, Bali collection from $2.3M | Single-family, contemporary designs |
| Meravita at Boca Raton, 33496 | Toll Brothers | Selling | $2,134,995 to $2,649,995 | Single-family, 3,290 to 5,426+ sq ft |
| Agave Boca, 33434 | GL Homes | Coming soon | From $1.3M | 300+ two- and three-story townhomes |
GL Homes quotes Lotus Edge at $1.7M to $3M on its Boca Raton overview and $1.7M to $4M on the community page, so ask which collection and lot a price refers to. Earlier GL communities in the area, such as Lotus and Boca Bridges, are not on GL's current Boca selling list, so buying there now means a resale.
Active communities one by one
Lotus Edge (GL Homes)
GL Homes describes Lotus Edge as fully contemporary designs behind a staffed gatehouse at 20393 Grand Cascade Avenue. The clubhouse, which GL puts at 39,000 total square feet, is open and includes a restaurant, fitness center, indoor sports court and a racquet club with tennis, padel and pickleball. Models are also offered for sale.
Meravita at Boca Raton (Toll Brothers)
Toll Brothers calls Meravita a gated community of single-family homes at 9935 Meravita Avenue. Its six floor plans have 4 to 6 bedrooms and 3- to 4-car garages. Listed amenities include a pool with cabanas, fitness center, pickleball court, event lawn and hammock grove.
Agave Boca (GL Homes)
GL lists Agave Boca at 20512 Lyons Road as coming soon, with more than 300 townhomes from $1.3M and amenities still to be announced. Separately, a 322-home GL project on the east side of Lyons Road, opposite Lotus Edge, cleared Palm Beach County zoning review earlier in 2026, with construction expected to start in fall 2026 and sales targeted for 2027.
Layton Pointe (Toll Brothers, Delray Beach)
Just north of the city, Toll Brothers lists Layton Pointe in Delray Beach as a 31-homesite community from $1,544,995 to $1,899,995. It isn't a Boca Raton address, but it is the nearest lower-priced Toll option.
East Lyons Road project (GL Homes)
The 322-home GL project across Lyons Road from Lotus Edge cleared county review in early 2026, with construction expected to start in fall 2026 and sales targeted for 2027. Pricing and a community name weren't published when we checked.
Which builders are active in and around Boca Raton
GL Homes
Lotus Edge selling, Agave Boca coming soon, and the east Lyons Road project approved. GL's Boca overview puts Lotus Edge at $1.7M to $3M. Its nearby Valencia communities in Boynton Beach are 55+, covered on our Boca Raton 55+ communities guide.
Toll Brothers
Meravita at Boca Raton from $2,134,995, with one- and two-story designs of 3,290 to 5,426+ square feet, plus Layton Pointe in Delray Beach.
Lennar
No Boca Raton community is selling on its site. It has proposed 762 condos and townhomes on part of the Boca Lago golf course, which was still under county review in February 2026 with no vote scheduled.
Portals show more listings tagged as new construction, many of them single custom homes or spec builds. Treat each one as a resale-style purchase: check the permit history and certificate of occupancy with the city or county before you commit.
CDD and HOA fees explained
None of the builders above publish HOA dues or any CDD assessment on their community pages. Get them in writing before you sign, because they add a fixed cost on top of the price.
HOA disclosure
Florida law requires a disclosure summary before you sign a contract in an HOA community. If you don't get it first, you can cancel within 3 days of receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first.
CDD disclosure
If a community is inside a community development district, the initial sales contract must carry a bold disclosure that the district may levy taxes or assessments on the property.
Your first tax bills
The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser explains that non-ad valorem assessments, including CDD and drainage charges, are billed with property tax. Ask for a recent bill on a comparable finished home.
Much of West Boca is unincorporated Palm Beach County despite the Boca Raton address, so check which taxing district the parcel sits in. See Palm Beach County property tax for how the bill is built.
New vs resale: what it costs
New homes in Boca Raton start well above what most resales cost. Here is how the builder prices compare with Zillow's August 2026 figures.
Price
The lowest single-family new-build starting price on a builder site is Lotus Edge at $1.7M, against Zillow's typical Boca Raton value of $576,824 and $1,053,347 for ZIP 33496, where Meravita sits. Resale houses in the same area, such as Lotus or The Oaks, give you a way to compare like with like.
Monthly cost
At Freddie Mac's 7.03% average 30-year rate (week of September 24, 2026), each $100,000 borrowed costs about $667 a month in principal and interest. Add HOA dues, any CDD assessment and insurance before you compare a new home with a resale.
What you get for the premium
A new home comes with current building code construction, new roof and systems, and a builder warranty. Those can lower insurance and repair costs in the first years, but get real quotes rather than assuming a saving.
Inspections, warranties and buying new with a local agent
Independent inspections
Book an inspector at the pre-drywall stage and again before closing, even on a new home. The builder's own quality checks aren't a substitute. Our Florida home inspection checklist covers what to look for.
Builder warranties
Ask for the written warranty before you sign: what it covers, for how long, how claims are made and whether it transfers if you sell. Terms differ between builders.
Using your own agent
The sales team in a model works for the builder. Ask the builder whether a buyer's agent has to be registered on your first visit, and name your agent before you tour. We can introduce you to a local agent who knows the Lyons Road communities.
Before you sign
- Ask which price is the base price and what the lot premium, options and design studio selections add.
- Get the HOA budget, the master association budget if there is one, and any capital contribution due at closing.
- Confirm whether any club or amenity fee is mandatory and whether it can rise.
- Ask for the estimated completion date and what the contract says about delays.
Compare the monthly cost against resale options on the Boca Raton housing market page, where Zillow's typical home value for 33496 was $1,053,347 in August 2026. For gated resale options, see gated communities in Boca Raton.
Common questions
Are there new construction homes in Boca Raton?+
Yes, but only a few communities. As of September 2026, GL Homes lists Lotus Edge as now selling with designs from $1.7M, and Toll Brothers lists Meravita at Boca Raton from $2,134,995. GL Homes lists Agave Boca townhomes as coming soon from $1.3M. Most other new-build listings are single custom or spec homes.
Do new homes in Boca Raton have CDD fees?+
The builders do not publish CDD information for their Boca Raton communities. Florida law requires a bold CDD disclosure in the initial sales contract if the property is inside a community development district, so check the contract and ask for a current tax bill showing any non-ad valorem assessments on a finished home in the same community.
What is the cheapest new construction in Boca Raton?+
Among builder-listed Boca Raton communities, GL Homes' Agave Boca townhomes have the lowest published starting price, from $1.3M, but the community was listed as coming soon in September 2026. The lowest single-family starting point currently selling is Lotus Edge's Fiji collection, from $1.7M.
Is Lennar building in Boca Raton?+
Lennar had no Boca Raton community for sale on its site when checked. It has proposed 762 condos and townhomes on part of the Boca Lago golf course in west Boca, but in February 2026 the plan was still under Palm Beach County review, with no vote scheduled and officials saying construction could be years away.
Where are new homes being built in Boca Raton?+
Mostly along Lyons Road in west Boca. GL Homes is selling Lotus Edge there, lists Agave Boca townhomes at 20512 Lyons Road as coming soon, and won county approval for a 322-home project across the road, for a combined total of roughly 1,000 homes. Toll Brothers is selling Meravita at Boca Raton in ZIP 33496. Elsewhere, new homes are mostly single custom builds.
Can I use my own agent to buy a new construction home in Boca Raton?+
Usually yes, but check the builder's rules before your first visit. The on-site sales team represents the builder, not you, and some builders only recognise a buyer's agent who is registered at the first visit. Your own agent can compare the price with resales, review the contract and help with inspections and the walkthrough.
