The Empire Development Portfolio — Delivered on Boca Raton Water.

A concentrated body of work in East Boca Raton — architect-led residences on the enclaves that anchor South Florida's luxury market.

Empire Development — the Boca Raton firm led by Marc Elkman — has built its reputation by staying inside a tight geography and repeating the same discipline: strong lot, right architect, long-tenured trades, delivered on time. The current portfolio reads like a map of East Boca's most sought-after waterfront addresses.

Cocoanut Road, Golden Harbour

The Cocoanut corridor is where the firm's design language is most legible. 1351 Cocoanut Road is the landmark — a deep-water estate with dockage and a plan that reads as inevitable once you walk it. 1148 Cocoanut Road sits nearby, a modern coastal composition on a wider lot. Read the 1351 Cocoanut Road feature for the walkthrough.

Golden Harbour Drive cluster

541, 561, and 651 Golden Harbour Drive form a rare three-house cluster on the enclave's most requested street. It is the kind of concentration that only happens when a builder commits to one neighborhood for a decade. For the neighborhood context, see the Golden Harbour guide.

839 Orchid Drive

A walk-to-water residence built to the same standard as the deep-water estates. Orchid is the address that answers the "we want the finishes, not the dock" brief without compromising on light, layout, or trades.
