Work on the mixed-use community Plantation Walk in Plantation, Fla. has begun by developer Encore Capital Management on the former site of the 1 million square foot Plantation Mall. The firm began infrastructure work by removing 28,000 tons of concrete, adding green spaces and walkways plus water and sewer upgrades and new utility services. Plans call for the creation of 700 rental units under Encore’s The Rise apartment brand, the renovation and modernization of an 160,000 sqf office building, and the renovation of a 263-room Sheraton Hotel along with a 2,600 parking garage. The project is one of the largest developments currently planned in Broward County and will offer residential, retail, restaurant and office space. Encore bought the site for $37.7 million in 2015.
