$160 Million Redevelopment to Add 111 Independent Living Apartments

Boca Raton, FL – Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences Boca Raton, the area’s resort-inspired Life Plan Retirement Community, announces additions to its already unparalleled luxury in the way of a $160 million expansion and redevelopment. The project, set to break ground next year, includes the addition of 111 independent living apartments, as well as updates to existing amenities.

“Currently, we have a waiting list of over 70 people, which led to the decision to expand,” said Mel Lowell, COO of the Jewish Federation, which completed the existing community in 2016. “Demand continues to be high and we’re excited to be able to meet it. The future is bright.”

The project is tentatively slated to begin with a groundbreaking sometime in the summer of 2020. Deposits are currently being accepted, and Lowell says they anticipate interest to continue to be strong.

Due to demand for larger apartments, the expansion will allow Sinai Residences to accommodate those who seek bigger living spaces. Meanwhile, smaller, one-bedroom apartments are still available. Additionally, the community’s pool will be renovated to include a poolside bar and lounge, a hot tub and beach side entry. New dining venues will also be added, along with a movie theater, wellness center and cocktail lounge.

The new 240,000-square-foot building will be located to the southeast of the existing community on 4.5 acres. While the expansion will include larger apartments, the look and feel will be similar to that of the original Sinai.

The expansion, which was approved unanimously by the Palm Beach County Zoning Commission, is expected to be completed by the fall of 2022.
