Peninsula Executive Center consists of two four-story office buildings and a 742-space parking structure located at 2381 and 2385 Executive Center Drive in Boca Raton. This location is centrally located in the heart of Boca Raton’s most coveted office submarkets and adjacent to the Midtown Boca district.

Talanian Realty Co.,” said Drew. “The buyer was attracted this opportunity due to its main and main location within the heart of Boca and the durable long-term cash flow.
