We’re developers, not just builders. For decades we have looked at every project the way an owner does: budget, schedule, quality, and what it’s worth when it’s done. Luxury renovations and custom homes from $1M in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Parkland and the Palm Beaches.
Three generations of building. We take on a few homes at a time, each one led by a member of the family, from Jupiter and Tequesta to Fort Lauderdale and Las Olas.
We take on your home as if it were one of our own developments. We question the budget, the schedule and the design decisions, and we keep in mind what the house will be worth when it is done. You get builders who think like owners.
Seasonal, out of state or abroad? You get a video walk-through every week, decisions in English or Spanish, and Roberto on site as your representative.
You see every subcontractor’s quote and invoice. Our fee is a stated percentage on top, agreed before work starts.
Looking for a house to renovate, a lot to build on, or a property to renovate and resell? Roberto is also a licensed Florida real estate sales associate with Premier Estate Properties. He can help you find it, and tell you what it will really cost and be worth before you commit.
Full interior and exterior transformations of estate and waterfront homes: reconfigured floor plans, structural changes, impact glazing, new kitchens and baths, built to your designer's drawings.
Build-to-plan with your architect, or design-build with ours. Site work, permits, structure and finishes, through the certificate of occupancy.
Before you commit: a line-item estimate, a constructability review with your architect, and a permit plan, so the budget is clear before construction starts.
Every project is led by a member of the family.Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca Raton
Roberto runs a statewide permitting and code-compliance practice. Plan revisions, private providers and inspections are handled in-house.
Over the years we have built close relationships with some of South Florida’s leading architects and interior designers, and with the specialty trades who work at this level. We can introduce you, or build alongside the team you have chosen.
“I needed a GC and help with permitting. Fortunately, I found Roberto. … I’ve never worked with anyone so responsive. … He’s knowledgeable, honest and a pleasure to work with.”
“At times, I had difficulty reaching the county, but Roberto was able to get in touch with the right people through his established connections and keep the project moving forward. … His expertise and service were worth every penny.”
“He provided guidance, he followed up and executed all areas of the work to ensure the work was completed and in a timely manner, his communication was always outstanding.”
From clients of Roberto’s permitting and general-contractor-of-record practice.
Building runs in the family. Roberto spent his childhood visiting the job sites of his father, Matteo La Rocca, a civil engineer who from the early 1950s built hotels, hospitals, roads, thousands of apartments and entire affordable-housing communities in Venezuela, and in the 1980s affordable homes in Hialeah. In 1999, when Roberto started his first home in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, he brought eight-year-old Carlos along every weekend.
Second generation of a family that has been developing and building since the 1950s. He joined his father’s company after earning his MBA. In Caracas he developed landmark office towers, including Banesco Tower and the former Shell Tower, and owned the World Trade Center Caracas. From 1999 he developed luxury estate homes in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, Boca Raton. Back in Venezuela from 2006, he built Hacienda Santa Inés, 103 condominiums, and designed and financed a Radisson Blu hotel tower. Since returning to Florida he has had a record year at Coldwell Banker Commercial selling hotels, led the 2814 Collins Avenue project in Miami Beach as project manager and owner’s and lender’s representative until its sale in 2025, and earned his general contractor license. Many of his Caracas projects are featured in the book Arquitectura Bentata (2025). Mechanical engineer, MBA (IESA), Cornell certificate in hotel real estate.
Third-generation builder. For the past five years Carlos has been the senior project manager on multi-million-dollar new custom homes and whole-home renovations in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Parkland, running each job day to day from foundations and structure through the final interior finishes. He began his career as a senior estimator on large commercial projects across Florida, Texas and North Carolina, which is why our budgets are built line by line. Carlos leads construction and is the next chapter of the firm.
Projects developed or built by the La Rocca family.
Several of Roberto’s Caracas projects are featured in the book Arquitectura Bentata (2025) by Celina Bentata, presented in Aventura, Florida.
