Stiles Construction has started work on a new mixed-use development with numerous “green” features at the southern gateway to Plantation, Fla.’s Midtown District.
The development consists of: a new luxury apartment community—a joint venture with Prudential Real Estate Investors (PREI)– and the adjacent University Shoppes, which Stiles owns and is redeveloping. Located on a prime site at the northwest quadrant of University Drive and I-595, the residential/retail project will add dimension to the Midtown area’s emerging live-work lifestyle.
The residential component, which will be called “One Plantation,” will be a gated apartment community on a 5.5-acre site, with two 12-story towers offering a total of 321 residences. Stiles Construction is building the residential complex, which is one of Broward County’s first multifamily rental communities designed to achieve LEED certification from the USGBC. There will be one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, as well as a 15,600-sf clubhouse and a residential parking garage. BD+C
