/in /by

Compson Associates, together with Alfredo Aletto, announced the groundbreaking of The Aletto, a landmark Class-A mixed-use office and lifestyle destination set in the heart of Downtown Boca Raton at Sanborn Square.

Representing Compson Associates, Inc., is the Colliers team—Executive Vice Presidents Scott Brenner, Gary A. Gottlieb, Derek Baker, Jonathan Carter, Dave Preston, and Vice President Marc Fechter—who are leading the marketing and leasing efforts for the office and retail portions of the project.

“We are so thrilled to be part of this exciting project and work alongside Carl Klepper and Bobby D’Angelo, who had the vision for this transformative and iconic project,” said Brenner.

Designed to redefine the professional and cultural landscape of the city, The Aletto will feature 140,000 square feet of premier office, retail, and hospitality space, including:

  • Two state-of-the-art office towers offering panoramic views
  • A signature “open to the public” 10th-floor rooftop restaurant with indoor-outdoor dining and skyline vistas
  • Luxury amenities including a private fitness center, steam & sauna, valet parking, and a full-time concierge service

Strategically located steps from Mizner Park, Brightline’s Boca Raton Station, and the city’s thriving dining and retail corridor, The Aletto is poised to become Downtown Boca’s first trophy-class office development in more than 25 years.

The Aletto will feature a brand-new 550-car parking garage seamlessly integrated into the development, offering ample capacity for office tenants, retail patrons, and restaurant guests. Featuring valet service, controlled access, and efficient circulation, the garage is designed to maximize convenience while minimizing traffic impact on surrounding streets. Its strategic layout ensures easy ingress and egress, enhancing overall accessibility to Downtown Boca and supporting the project’s vision of a walkable, vibrant urban destination.

Compson Associates has partnered with NADG to advance and elevate The Aletto, combining deep local expertise with national development capabilities to deliver a best-in-class project. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to creating a transformative destination in Downtown Boca. To support the project’s execution, the development team intends to utilize Bank of the Ozarks for the first mortgage, securing a strong financial foundation that positions The Aletto for timely delivery and long-term success.

The Aletto has secured its rooftop restaurant operator: INK Entertainment Group, North America’s preeminent lifestyle and hospitality company, celebrated for an award-winning portfolio of iconic restaurants, nightclubs, music festivals, and luxury hotel-residences. Established in 1982, INK has shaped dining and entertainment scenes across Toronto, Miami, and beyond, consistently delivering immersive experiences that blend culinary excellence with inspired design. At the Aletto, INK will reimagine its acclaimed Amal concept—a contemporary Lebanese dining experience renowned for its vibrant flavors, shareable mezze, and its ethos of joie de vivre, the “joy of living,” tailoring it exclusively for Boca Raton. This elevated iteration of Amal will offer guests stunning rooftop views, sophisticated ambiance, and a dynamic culinary atmosphere, making it one of Boca Raton’s most coveted dining destinations. The rooftop will also feature an upscale bar and lounge, offering craft cocktails and a curated selection of wines, all set against the backdrop of live music. This immersive experience will create an unparalleled fusion of fine dining and nightlife, where guests can enjoy an evening of vibrant energy, top-tier entertainment, and the best of Boca Raton’s social scene.

INK Entertainment will further enhance the Aletto’s complex culinary appeal by introducing its acclaimed Italian dining concept, Sofia, on the ground floor. Known for its contemporary elegance, Sofia blends authentic Italian cuisine with a modern, art-infused ambiance — the perfect complement to Aletto’s upscale atmosphere. Sofia’s menu highlights seasonal, thoughtfully sourced ingredients and a curated selection of handcrafted cocktails and aperitivos. Guests will enjoy a bottomless brunch with a DJ, an Aperitivo all’Italiana happy hour, and dinner evenings with live entertainment — all combining to offer memorable experiences that redefine traditional dining.

Complementing this offering and creating a powerful dual presence, the opposite space will welcome Gloria’s, sister restaurant of The Warren, a premier bourbon and whiskey destination that celebrates refined indulgence. Far more than just a bar, Gloria’s will feature an extensive, meticulously curated selection of rare and premium bourbons, grand craft cocktails, and a chef-driven menu of steak and seafood all designed to pair perfectly with the spirits. Its warm, upscale atmosphere will blend the richness of Southern charm with cosmopolitan polish, making it an essential gathering place for connoisseurs and newcomers alike in Downtown Boca Raton.

Together, Amal, Sofia and Gloria’s will deliver a multifaceted hospitality experience—uniting exceptional dining, world-class beverage programs, and an immersive cultural vibe—positioning the Aletto complex as a landmark destination for elevated leisure and entertainment.

The Aletto complex has already secured an elite lineup of tenants, setting the tone for a premier business address. Anchored by industry leaders such as Slavic 401(k), NSI Insurance, and Industrious, the building offers a rare combination of prestige, financial strength, and corporate sophistication. With limited space remaining, Aletto offers a unique opportunity for discerning businesses to become part of a community filled with top-tier, financially robust tenants in one of the most dynamic and desirable markets.

Brenner Investment Properties’ ‘TowerFest’ Event Showcased Atlantic Tower

/in /by

Tours of retail and office space for over 70 brokers, friends and guests kicked off the festivities of “TowerFest”, a re-introduction event held on Tuesday, October 3 at the eight-story Atlantic Tower, 225 N. Federal Highway in Pompano Beach, by building owner 225 N. Federal Highway, LLC, an entity of Brenner Investment Properties, along with listing agent and management company CBRE.

Guests were also treated to “A Taste of October” featuring 26° Brewing Co. showcasing craft beers, while A Fare to Remember provided the catered seasonal appetizers.

With guests gathered on the eighth floor to enjoy the building’s views of Pompano Beach, Scott Brenner, Esq., CCIM, SIOR, RPA, CAM, principal of Brenner Investment Properties welcomed the crowd and introduced Ric Green, President of the Greater Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce, who was the featured speaker for the event.

Green updated attendees on the economic development progress in Pompano Beach. He spoke about the recent additions of the Cultural Arts Center, the Fishing Village, and the activities of the city’s two CRAs and more. He noted that Atlantic Tower is in the city’s Innovation District, which is a movement to bring more corporate tenants into the city.

He said, “There are 443 buildings in Pompano Beach. In the last four to five years, the vacancy rate has decreased. There is so much going on here. Pompano Beach is making a big difference.”

Other notable attendees included Greg Harrison, City Manager of Pompano Beach, who said that the future tenants of Atlantic Tower “represent a lot of potential” to enhance the city’s commercial, retail and office profile. Chris Clemens, Economic Development Manager of Pompano Beach, commenting also on the Innovation District, said that Pompano Beach has 29 million square feet of industrial space, but only 1 million square feet of office space, and that if the city can increase the office space it can attract more companies and corporate headquarters.

Elaine Fitzgerald, an Economic Development Council member who also attended Towerfest, noted, “Atlantic Tower is in the heart of the city, and it is the only big space like this we have right here. The building offers a great opportunity and will be a fabulous find for someone. In the last few years, Pompano has made a priority of thoughtfully continuing to improve its infrastructure and appearance throughout the city, including the beach area and along Atlantic Boulevard. In doing so, new private projects and money have followed, exponentially increasing the value and quality of life in the area.”

Scott Brenner noted, “Atlantic Tower has long been the home for Everest University who vacated this year because of consolidation of locations. We have completed some renovations to the property and it is now move-in ready for another educational institution as a complete building or for multi-tenant use. Our TowerFest was a great way to let the community and brokers know that this icon on North Federal Highway is ready to once again be an asset to the thriving Pompano Beach city scene.”

Deborah Fink, Vice President with CBRE, leasing representative for Atlantic Tower, presented information on the available space for lease in the building. According to Ms. Fink, office/classroom suites are available from 7,470 square feet to the entire building of 53,144 square feet.  Ground floor retail spaces and restaurant space is available to subdivide up to 6,365 square feet plus a 1,959 square foot mezzanine.
