Plaza Real in Boca Raton has been designated one of 10 Great Public Spaces for 2010 under the American Planning Association’s Great Places in America program. APA Great Places exemplify exceptional character and highlight the role planners and planning play in creating communities of lasting value.

Located at the epicenter of Boca Raton's Mizner Park, Plaza Real attracts users all hours of the day and night to mingle, relax, people-watch, or play. Plaza Real, and the surrounding mixed-use development of Mizner Park, resulted from a comprehensive redevelopment strategy and plan whose goal was to give residents a reason to go downtown.?
