Historic Renovation of WWII Building Into Offices In Boca Raton
This is a heartwarming story. Florida Atlantic University Development and Research Park has renovated a World War II building at the old Boca Raton Airfield. What makes this story special is that in this day and age of teardowns to see a developer take the time and care to restore a property that will preserve a footprint of other generations in an office industrial environment is special. You go into most office industrial parks and it is the same boring and utilty archetecture. But to have a historic building in the midst of all that will bring many a smile to the people who drive by it every day.
The facility stored secret radar devices, HRM IV said, when the Boca Raton Army Air Field (BRAAF) spanned almost 6,000 acres west of Boca Raton. “We’re thrilled to be able to preserve the integrity of this building and we’re looking for a tenant who will appreciate its history,” HRM IV President Thomas A. Head said.
The company said the T-3 building, one of 800 structures that made up the air field, is the largest of the remaining wartime buildings. Built of Dade County Pine, a wood HRM IV said is no longer available, the structure has large windows in its 25-foot ceiling, allowing for natural light. Renovation included adding a lobby, restrooms and new siding. A brick wall in the lobby is intact as a tribute to the structure. via the South Florida Business Journal
