Office Depot Isn't Leaving Military Trail. The Parking Lot Is Getting a Gym.

Drive out the gate at Boca Bath and Tennis and head north on Military Trail, and the change is impossible to miss. A construction fence now wraps a stretch of the old Office Depot corporate campus at 6600 N. Military Trail, and as of late August 2026 one of its office towers is gone, cleared to make way for a crane and a foundation. For a neighborhood that has watched this campus sit largely unchanged since the mid-2000s, the assumption writes itself: Office Depot is finally packing up, and the whole site is about to become something else.

That assumption is wrong in the way that matters most. Office Depot's parent company, ODP Corp, signed a long-term lease extension that keeps its global headquarters on this campus until at least 2033, according to PEBB Enterprises, one of the site's owners. The office space isn't emptying out. A healthcare firm called MDVIP just signed nearly 50,000 square feet there in early 2026, a deal that pushed the property's Class A office occupancy to 98 percent, as reported by TAPinto. The campus, now rebranded The Eclipse, has two of its original office buildings still standing and, per the property's own leasing listing, fully renovated this year. What's disappearing is one tower. What's arriving around it is an entirely new layer of use that has nothing to do with office space at all.

The Building That Actually Came Down

The site plan the city approved back in February 2025 was specific about this from the start. Of the roughly 29-acre campus, only a third office tower was slated for demolition. The other two, totaling more than 400,000 square feet, were staying put. That demolition finished in August 2026, and crews broke ground the same month on what will replace it: an eight-story apartment building called Broken Sound Residences, developed by Related Group in partnership with PEBB Enterprises and BH Group. It's a 494-unit project, and it's the first visible construction milestone in a redevelopment that's been working through permitting and leasing since the property sold for $104 million back in 2023.

For residents used to seeing this stretch of Military Trail as a corporate corridor, that's the real story. The office use isn't being phased out to make room for housing. The housing is being built in the footprint of a single building, while the offices around it keep renewing tenants on decade-long terms.

What's Rising in Its Place

Broken Sound Residences will overlook the Broken Sound Country Club golf course, the same view the office towers have had for two decades. The building's amenity plan, described in coverage from Boca Daily News, runs well past a standard apartment gym: two pool decks with private cabanas, a cold plunge, a hidden speakeasy lounge, a resident wine lounge, a private dining room, and a golf simulator, spread across more than 23,000 square feet of indoor space and another half acre outdoors. Construction is underway now, though no leasing or move-in date has been announced.

That building is only one piece. The February 2025 approval also included four new retail and restaurant outparcel buildings totaling close to 43,000 square feet, plus a nearly 37,000-square-foot fitness facility. That fitness space already has a tenant: Equinox signed a 36,700-square-foot lease in early 2025, according to lease-tracking site Traded and later confirmed by Commercial Observer. Retail and restaurant leasing is still being marketed, and developers have said interest from operators has been strong, but as of now no specific restaurant names have been announced for those outparcels.

So the corridor isn't trading offices for housing, or housing for retail. It's stacking three uses onto acreage that used to hold one, on a piece of land Boca Bath and Tennis residents already pass every time they leave the neighborhood.

What's Already a Short Drive Away

None of this is happening in a dining desert. The Military Trail corridor north of Boca Bath and Tennis already carries a working restaurant scene, most of it clustered around Park Place Shopping Plaza and the stretch near Yamato Road:

• Bento Asian Kitchen + Sushi, tucked between The Habit Burger and Burton's Grill & Bar at Park Place
• Burtons Grill & Bar, a regular stop for a post-round meal near Broken Sound Golf Club
• Farmer's Table, known locally for its brunch crowd
• Sixty Vines and Bolay, both frequent names on local restaurant lists for this stretch of Boca Raton

That existing scene is worth knowing because it changes what the new development actually adds. The Eclipse isn't introducing dining to an area that had none. It's adding density and a fitness anchor to a corridor that already had a functioning restaurant lineup within a few minutes of the gate.

What Changes for a Daily Drive

In the short term, the practical effect is construction traffic. A demolition and an active apartment groundbreaking on a well-traveled stretch of Military Trail means equipment, fencing, and periodic lane shifts for residents making the daily run to Town Center Mall or the office parks further north. That's the cost of a project this size moving through its early phases.

The longer view is a corridor gaining an amenity layer without losing the tenants that have anchored it for years. Office Depot's headquarters lease runs to 2033. The MDVIP lease alone filled nearly 50,000 square feet this year. The apartment building under construction now will eventually bring several hundred new households and their own retail demand onto a site residents already treat as part of their regular route, not a destination they'd drive across town to visit.

That's the detail worth carrying past the construction fence: the old headquarters campus isn't closing, it's getting company.
