Plantation Walk Announces Additions to Retail Lineup
Encore Capital Management, the developer of Plantation Walk, a $350 million mixed-use development, is excited to announce new additions to the project’s retail lineup.
Chinese-based YOYOSO which offers gifts, accessories and a wide-variety of other items all under $20 will open in a 6,136 square foot space. YOYOSO operates more than 1,200 stores in at least 36 countries. The retailer just announced a new location on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach as well. The Plantation Walk location will be one of only six locations in the U.S. that is part of the company’s roll out plan.
B Young, a clothing store that focuses on young adult trends, will occupy 5,668 square feet. Designer eyewear and sunglasses will be featured in Acuitis, which will occupy 3,500 square feet of space. The store will also have an optometrist on site.
Downtown Cigar Bar, which currently has locations in Fort Lauderdale and Coral Gables, has also secured space. The cigar bar and lounge, which features outdoor seating, will occupy 2,000 square feet.
These retailers join the recently announced Taco Craft (4,000 SF), Mana Poke (1,150 SF) and Avalon Nails (2,445 SF). Other major restaurant brands will be announced shortly.
“It was always our goal to curate an exciting and unique mix of retail tenants for Plantation Walk,” said Arthur Falcone, CEO and Managing Principal of Encore Capital Management. “We are introducing new brands to consumers and mixing those in with some long-standing favorites.”
Construction on the first phase of ground level retail is expected to be completed by mid-2020. The team recently received city approval on what will be Phase 2 of Plantation Walk which was updated to better serve the needs of area residents. The Phase 2 plans include: a 135-room Springhill Suites by Marriott hotel, a 168-unit luxury independent living facility and a new parking garage.
Once completed, Plantation Walk will create a downtown-style destination encompassing the ingredients of a true, walkable development that will create “Main Street Plantation.” Located on University Drive just north of Broward Boulevard, Plantation Walk is 10 miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale and 30 miles from downtown Miami. It features easy access to I-595, Florida’s Turnpike and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
