West Boca’s next residential chapter may look different from the expansive single-family neighborhoods that have defined much of its recent growth. Agave Boca, a planned GL Homes community, brings luxury townhomes into the conversation—offering an alternative for buyers who want new construction without a detached-house footprint.
According to The Pearl Antonacci Group’s project overview, the proposal includes more than 300 two- and three-story townhomes, with pricing reported to start at $1.3 million and sales anticipated in 2027. These are early reported details, not a current price sheet or a guarantee of availability.
The setting: Lyons Road and the former Johns Farm land
The reported site is approximately 70 acres on the east side of Lyons Road, between Glades Road and Yamato Road, across from Olympic Heights Community High School. It sits within the broader West Boca area of Palm Beach County; a Boca Raton mailing address should not be confused with a location inside the City of Boca Raton’s municipal boundaries.
The source places Agave Boca within the former Johns Farm tract, which GL Homes acquired in 2021. Its account describes a county-approved plan for 322 townhomes on the eastern parcel and a separate single-family neighborhood to the west, now known as Lotus Edge. Agave Boca is reported to be a standalone community, rather than an extension of Lotus Edge.
A different format for luxury living
For a builder closely associated with single-family communities such as Lotus and Valencia, the townhome format is a notable departure. The source describes Agave Boca as GL Homes’ first ultra-luxury townhome community, positioned around lower-maintenance living and a curated amenity offering.
The distinction matters, but the details will matter more. Floor plans, interior specifications and a final amenity schedule were not available in the cited overview. Buyers should avoid assuming that facilities offered at other GL Homes communities will automatically be included here. Likewise, lower-maintenance living does not establish what an association will cover or what its fees will be.
What the 2027 timeline actually means
The overview identifies fall 2026 as the expected start of construction and 2027 as the anticipated sales launch. Those milestones serve different purposes: opening sales is not the same as delivering completed homes. This article does not independently confirm that construction has begun or establish a first move-in date.
Release dates, permitting, construction progress and pricing can change as a project advances. Anyone considering a purchase should request the latest written information directly from GL Homes, including delivery estimates for the specific residence under consideration.
The questions worth asking before a release
For prospective residents, the useful comparison is not simply townhome versus single-family home. It is the complete ownership experience: association fees, exterior maintenance responsibilities, insurance, parking, outdoor space, rental restrictions and the practicality of a two- or three-story layout.
The Lyons Road location also makes everyday travel part of that assessment. Buyers should consider their own routes to work, shopping and schools rather than rely on generalized drive-time claims. School assignments should be checked with the school district for the exact property and enrollment year.
Why Agave Boca belongs on the development watchlist
Agave Boca adds another housing format to a corridor already seeing substantial residential investment. Its significance is the proposed choice it introduces: attached new construction at a luxury price point, within a community designed to have its own identity.
That is a reason to follow the project—not a basis for promising appreciation, rapid sellouts or investment returns. For now, the next meaningful updates will be confirmed plans, final specifications, published fees and an official sales schedule. Those details will determine how Agave Boca fits into West Boca’s evolving residential market.
