A short distance from Miami sits a smaller city, a city which lists over eighty four thousand residents. Although, those actually residing within the boundaries of Boca Raton only count for a small percentage of those counted during the 2013 census.
As the city has now been built as a center of business, the daytime population increases dramatically. Due to Miami being only a few miles away, it is quite popular with tourists and locals. Whether a short drive to beaches, museums and nightlife in Miami, or simply living the simple life at home, the area has a lot to offer.
One of the finest and the only five star rated hotel in Florida is located in the area. As such, visitors to Miami and the smaller city often enjoy staying at this fine establishment. Built in 1926, only one year after the city was incorporated, it was originally a Ritz-Carlton. While this may be the only five star resort in the area, there area also a number of other lodging options.
Business came to town when International Business Machines (IBM, ) moved into the area in the early to mid-1960s. Working in secret with another corporation, the two acquired a great deal of land just west of a rail line. While the site was originally located outside the city limits, it was eventually annexed.
The complex initially brought a lot of workers to the area. As the first developer of personal computers, engineering and research and development were key positions at the company. Sadly, while much of the complex still exists, other areas have fallen on hard times. Though, the conference table and office where Bill Gates first signed a deal with IBM related to the MS-DOS operating system still remains as a relic to the time.
A number of historic relics remain in the older areas of the city. For example, the business complex in which IBM was built still houses the conference table and office in which Bill Gates signed the first deal with IBM related to the development of MS-DOS, one of the first operating systems for personal computing.
The new design in the downtown area has really helped to wake up what had become a tired city from its slumber. Now, with new lodging establishments, restaurants, shops, nightlife and an amphitheater, people come to visit this small city for pleasure as well as business. Also, with its close vicinity to Miami, many individuals are now looking at moving to this area which still houses a population much smaller than its big neighbor.
All in all, this redevelopment over the old shopping mall has helped to revitalize the city. Other mixed use buildings either recently constructed or still under construction hope to continue the trend. Though, when it comes to housing, as with other cities, it seems while there are plenty of new homes, condos and apartments available though many are outside the reach of middle class America.
