Renovating a luxury apartment in Boca isn’t priced like a house — a shared building adds costs, and older towers add more. Knowing the drivers helps you budget realistically for the address.

What drives the number

• Scope & finish — a refresh vs. a whole-unit reconstruction, at a luxury finish level.
• Building age — 1970s–80s units often need re-piping, rewiring, and impact-glass replacement.
• Structure — opening a concrete floor plan requires engineering.
• Logistics — elevator scheduling, protected common areas, and work-hour rules add real cost a house never has.

The costs a house doesn’t have

In a building, the association’s rules shape the job: reserved service elevators, dust and water protection for common areas, restricted work hours, and a licensed-and-insured requirement. These aren’t optional, and a builder who plans for them keeps the project smooth and the board comfortable.
