The Boca Raton private venue known as St Andrews Country Club is reportedly undergoing $15 million in club improvements, which will include a redesign of the clubhouse, two restaurants, the main entry and the aquatic center, among other spaces. The project has just begun, and the Boca Raton movers have learned the project is set to be complete around November 2014.

The club has spoken out and said it was a decision by the board to take the club in a new direction. Ultimately, they want to reach out and attract younger members and by upgrading the facilities they hope to achieve the attention of that demographic. The key points of focus are the dining areas and recreational spaces that are designed to draw the social crowd.

While the real estate market has certainly been a rocky road over the past few years, there are some signs of seller confidence coming back to South Florida. In fact, some homeowners are selling their properties and then negotiating to stay in the homes past the sale point, such as a Parkland woman who has sold her home but is not moving until the school year ends for her children. The Boca Raton movers are intrigued by the power that sellers have in some areas of South Florida.

This is quite a significant scenario for a seller to negotiate the sale, when just a few years ago people were scraping at any possibility of a buyer. South Florida is still a desirable location, especially developing areas like where this home is located—in Parkland. It is still a buyer’s market, but there is also an advantage for sellers with property in desired locations and little to no availability, it’s interesting to see you can still delay the transition of the home and tailor the sale to your personal schedule.

The Boca Raton movers have learned that a bevy of new apartments are coming to Boca Raton to meet the growing demographics of the area. More than a thousand projects have been proposed for downtown Boca to complement the year-round shoppers and residents that support the downtown Boca Raton economy.

While some are against the rapid expansion, there are already projects underway that will add about 1,600 individual units to the apartment count in Boca. Here at All My Sons of Boca, we are interested to see what kind of occupancy rates these new complexes can garner. Apartments are a huge draw for a development company and with the universities in the area it seems that students will be drawn to live in the new and upgraded living arrangements that will soon be available.

In the state of Florida, with Boca Raton as no exception, thousands of residents have seen their credit scores take a dive due to short sales and foreclosures. In fact, your score can be actually cut in half due to one of these real estate scenarios. It’s a scary but true fact that the Boca Raton movers want to share with you.

The first step to protecting your credit score is becoming familiar with it. Get a free copy of your credit report and thoroughly review it for any errors and things worth investigating further. And what to do if you’ve already suffered credit disasters from a short sale or foreclosure? Being rebuilding. Start small with something like a gas card or store account, pay it in full and on time and show lenders that you have responsible financial habits, even if you did have a slip with your home.

Fountains at Camino, a mixed-use residential and retail property, recently sold for $16 million to Boca Medical Plaza, LLC. The property encompasses 184,575 square feet of rental space. When the property sold, it was at just under 50% occupancy.

The property, which was in foreclosure, was sold by Capmark Bank. Here at the Boca Raton commercial movers, we hope that the new buyers help do what is necessary to get new tenants in the property, from both residential and business tenants. We hear that the Boca Medical Plaza plans to repurpose the commercial space and pitch is as a medical park, which may position it to become a medical flagship in the Boca area. We should know more in the coming months, stay tuned!

As we previously shared, the Palm Beach Mall was purchased and its fate determined: to be torn down to make way for an outlet mall. 1.2 million square feet of traditional mall will be demolished, and 1.1 million square feet of outdoor shopping plaza will be built. The property was purchased in October for $35.5 million.

The master plans were submitted on Wednesday of last week. The potential start date to being demolition is looking like April. The $150 million project is speculated to bring extensive economy boosting to the area, including in the area of job availability. The West Palm movers are interested to see what new tenants will be moving in, as none have been identified as of yet.

Boca Raton has something uniquely different from the other cities in Palm Beach and Broward County–there’s currently no waterfront dining! In fact, the last time Boca Raton had a waterfront restaurant was in 2005. Currently, patrons looking to dine on the water near Boca are sent to nearby Delray Beach.

But all that is set to change, if a certain Boca Raton developer has their way. Gene Folden has recently convinced the Boca City Council to approve the addition of a Intracoastal-front restaurant. A restaurant is an ideal way to lure patrons, both old & new, to the area to spend more time and therefore generate more for the local economy.

The details haven’t really been determined yet, however, the Boca Raton movers will be sure to keep you up-to-date!

200 East has had quite the boom in terms of West Boca residents looking to live in a more central and also luxurious location. This is great news for the 200 East developers, who say the building is easily on its way to full occupancy.

The appeal of a place like 200 East is that it offers the luxury of an upscale Boca residence, but without the golf course maintenance, the drive to downtown, and other fees or expenses that Palm Beach County residents are privy to paying. Here at the Boca Raton movers, we think the property is a great addition to the Boca area, and it’s injected new life and a new demographic in to Boca.

The buyer-only complex still has a few units left–if interested, check out the inventory at http://www.200eastbocaraton.com.

Lynn University is undergoing a facelift in preparation for the national exposure it will receive in October, when the final presidential debate takes place for the 2012 US Presidential campaign.

The main entrance will get renovation work, and the road will be widened in expectancy of increased traffic flow. A second entrance will receive work, and the nature preserve will be relocated to the west end of campus.

Funding for the upgrades comes from fast-food & fuel company Sheetz Corp.’s owner Robert Sheetz, who is a retired Boca Raton local. The Boca Raton movers will be keeping you informed with any updates or additional upgrades that Lynn stands to undergo.

It’s no secret that the real estate market has had a tough time in recent years. For Palm Beach County, the demand is there and the supply is not–a clear sign that the real estate market is on the road to recovery. This is fabulous news for your Boca Raton movers here–we want to see the economy pick itself back up here in Boca and beyond. Low supply equals tighter prices, so the local housing market shouldn’t drop in coming months.

While there is no guarantee, your professional movers are hopeful that 2012 is the beginning of the end of the tunnel for real estate troubles. Keep your fingers crossed.

Wishing you and yours a fabulous New Year!
