MIAMI—Stiles has been venturing beyond its South Florida roots with Publix projects lately, but that's not keeping the commercial real estate firm from resuming work in its own back yard. Stiles just broke ground on West Lake Commons, an approximate $35 million Publix grocery store-anchored shopping center in Hollywood, FL.

Stiles is developing the shopping center located on the corner of Sheridan Street and South Federal Highway at 1700 Sheridan Street. West Lake Commons is part of a plan to revitalize Hollywood's most visible commercial and residential areas, trafficked by more than 50,000 cars per day. The project will bring several quality retailers alongside Publix to bear, including Pollo Tropical and Starbucks.

“Sites in eastern Broward County are difficult to find,” Bob Breslau, Stiles Chief Development Officer, tells GlobeSt.com. “This site was underutilized for many years and not providing its highest and best use. Our development will allow for the repositioning of a quality property that will transform the gateway to Hollywood with modern facilities, greatly improved access and visibility.”
