Stiles Plans 100,000-SF Mini-Storage Project

PEMBROKE PINES, FL-Boulevard Square Associates Ltd. has successful amended the plat on the 30-acre Boulevard Square Mall to allow a vacant 1.1-acre parcel of land behind mall for use as a 100,000-sf mini-storage warehouse.

The affiliate of Fort Lauderdale-based Stiles Corp. originally targeted the low-visibility parcel as the site of a daycare center or possibly for automotive uses. Instead, the Stiles affiliate is replatting and rezoning the site for a mini-storage facility as part of a pending sales agreement with RCL Management Services Inc., an Aventura-based developer of storage facilities managed by Robert Lansburgh.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be used by anyone other than a potential user who didn’t need visibility,” Robert Breslau, president of Stiles Retail Group, tells GlobeSt.com. “From a highest and best use standpoint, development of mini-warehouse facilities made the best sense because we’re able to get 100,000 sf on a small amount of land. It will be a four-story structure that architecturally is being upgraded to match the shopping center.”
