FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. and POMPANO BEACH, Fla., March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fort Lauderdale-based Stiles announced today it closed on the $30 million purchase of Shopper's Haven, a 204,231-square-foot grocery-anchored retail center in Pompano Beach, Florida. Stiles partnered with Charlotte-based FCA Partners on the acquisition.

The property was acquired as part of Stiles' new acquisitions strategy, which targets value-add retail properties in Florida. An extensive renovation is scheduled to begin within the next 30 days.

Originally developed in 1964, the center is well-situated at 3301 - 3573 N. Federal Highway at the highly trafficked intersection of US 1 and Sample Road at the entry of the Lighthouse Point neighborhood. Howard Bregman of Marcus & Millichap represented the seller, Partridge Equity Group. First Horizon Bank provided financing for both the acquisition and redevelopment plan.

"This property represents the first acquisition in our target strategy, which is engaged in acquiring mid-to large-size retail centers in prime locations with significant value-add and repositioning opportunities," noted Ben Boies, Director of Stiles Acquisitions. "With the outstanding quality of the location and current tenant roster, Shopper's Haven has all the right characteristics to become a premium retail property. Our improvement plan will create a higher quality shopping experience with a more curated mix of restaurants and retailers that will better meet the needs of the growing submarket."

The 86-percent-leased center is occupied by a mix of national and local retailers, including Walgreens, Outback Steakhouse, Dunkin', Xfinity, Leslie's Pool Supplies, Michael's, Bealls, YouFit, and Domino's. In addition, there are vacancies remaining that will allow for new-to-market tenants to occupy and benefit from the newly improved property.

Redevelopment plans include building a new ground-up Publix Supermarket to replace the center's current vacant anchor as well as renovating and improving the façade, walkways, landscaping and parking areas. Stiles will utilize several of its integrated real estate services, including development, property management and leasing, to execute the transformation. Construction is expected to take 15 months.

"We are very excited to partner with a great firm like Stiles to acquire and reposition a property with significant immediate upside and long-term potential in such a high barrier to entry location in South Florida," said Win Kelly, FCA Partners Principal and Director of Acquisitions.

"Shopper's Haven is a great example of how the Stiles platform works," continued Boies. "We're able to leverage our in-house services and development expertise to transition the property into a Class A retail asset."

The real estate frenzy spurred by the coronavirus pandemic continues, though at a slower pace. Buyers are still competing for a limited supply of housing, driving up prices for affordable properties.

The typical home value in the United States was $344,159 in January, 3.6% higher than the year before.

Increasing mortgage rates have slowed growth, with prices even declining in some places. But some areas are still seeing price jumps compared to the year before.

Stacker compiled a list of cities with the fastest-growing home prices in Florida using data from Zillow. Cities are ranked by the dollar change in the Zillow Home Values Index for all homes from the 12 months ending January 2024. The charts in this story were created automatically using Matplotlib.

POMPANO BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Dozens were out enjoying the warm water at the beach until they experienced shock from seeing a crocodile in a South Florida ocean.

Plenty of people decided to catch some sun on the sand in Pompano Beach on Monday when they spotted the reptile in the water near the pier.

Cell phone video caught the crocodile swimming closer to the shore.

“I saw a shadow and I thought ‘Man, what the heck?’ I ain’t ever seen a fish like that’,” said David, who was on the pier at the time.

On-lookers like David and others on the structure, saw the crocodile around 8 a.m. on Monday.

“His head about like this and you see his big ol’ snout,” David continued.

They shouted for swimmers to get out of the water when shortly after the “No swim” flags came up.

Pompano Beach Ocean Rescue made sure beachgoers stayed clear of the potential danger, while word of the spotting spread on-shore.

“That’s wild,” said one man. “I did see the video, I mean hey, this is their home, it’s expected. They’d be coming up to the people, people think it’s not true, but it’s true.”

One woman went down to see the action as soon as she heard.

“I came down to find it…” she said. “A little scary.”

Many heard about the incident but hadn’t seen the video yet.

“My God man, that’s bigger than me,” said another man.

Others couldn’t believe what they saw.

“Right here in Pompano? Come on, are you serious?” said another woman, reacting to the footage. “Oh my goodness.”

As the reptile hung around all day, enjoying the shoreline all to itself, some swore they’d never take a dip in the water again.

“With the crocodile? No more man, thanks for letting me know,” continued the woman.

Others felt validated for why they don’t usually dive in.

“Yeah I don’t really go in anyway, I just go in up to here,” a woman said as she pointed to her legs. “My husband goes in though, so he won’t go in today… We want all his limbs intact.”

A not-so-common spotting of a seawater crocodile had left an impression that would last a lifetime.

“I’ll never forget,” said David. “In any beach area, I’ve never seen one of these, I’ve seen alligators, just looked like a mini dinosaur.”

The “No swim” flag will remain up until the crocodile moves out of Pompano Beach, which experts said could take up to one or two days.

(WSVN) - A South Florida group is on a mission to provide healthy food by creating a garden of possibilities for their neighbors. 7’s Alex Browning has more in our 7 Spotlight.

It takes a lot of work to keep a garden growing in South Florida.

Lisa Torres, volunteer: “Today was mostly weeding and getting a great bountiful harvest of arugula, of mixed greens, and some rosemary and parsley.”

Most mornings, you can spot a group at work watering, pulling weeds and tending to hundreds of plants.

And it’s all for a good cause.

Will Sidwell, garden manager: “With the space like this, one acre, there’s so much food that you can produce, just in a small space for a local community.”

Will Sidwell is the manager of the Patricia Davis Community Garden in Pompano Beach.

The land was transformed back in 2018 when the city and the community redevelopment agency turned three vacant lots in the Blanche Ely neighborhood into an urban garden.

Will Sidwell: “So it’s for this neighborhood to come and enjoy and see, get education of what we’re growing.”

Neighbors can even rent their own plot in the garden for a small fee and grow whatever they choose.

Lisa Torres: “Peppers. They are coming out nicely. They look really cute.”

Lisa Torres jumped at the chance to get her hands dirty.

Lisa Torres: “So we did things that were quickly — once you put them in the ground, the seeds in the ground — they would come out quickly, so you have a sense of accomplishment.”

Instead of buying vegetables at the store, she grows her own. She’s also getting to meet her neighbors.

Lisa Torres: “This has been a great way to reach out to my neighbors where I live. I just come by and say, ‘Here, mixed greens,’ or, ‘Here, some herbs.'”

And garden volunteers produce some 2,000 pounds of produce right here in Pompano Beach. The majority of it is donated; the rest is sold to families here in South Florida.

Will Sidwell: “Some mustard greens for ya, and over here, we’ve got some tomatoes and green beans for ya.”

People can sign up to buy a weekly bag, full of whatever is in season, for just $20.

The money is used to help with the garden’s upkeep.

Will Sidwell: “I believe 130 people signed up for that program. We’re really passionate about giving out fresh produce to the local community.”

While the garden is geared toward helping provide food for lower income families, everyone is welcome.

Will Sidwell: “You can just show up, walk right through the gate, and we’ll just start gardening. I’ll teach you how to farm!”

With the farming comes sweat and hard work. But to all of these gardeners, it’s a labor of love.

Located at 14 N. Federal Highway, Pompano Beach

Riko's Pizza partners with new franchisee to introduce Pompano Beach and Broward County to the brand's one-of-a-kind pizza concept anchored by Riko's famous super thin crust tavern-style pies

Riko's Pizza now operates two South Florida locations—Pompano Beach and Tequesta (Jupiter)—with more Sunshine State locations coming soon

STAMFORD, Conn. and POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Riko's Pizza ("Riko's" or the "Company"), a highly differentiated pizza franchise concept famous for its super thin-crust, tavern-style pies, announced today the grand opening of its Pompano Beach, FL location. Situated on the corner of Atlantic Blvd and Federal Highway in the heart of Pompano Beach, one of the fastest growing markets of South Florida, this new franchise-owned restaurant is located at 14 N. Federal Highway and operates Monday through Sunday from 11AM – 10PM.

Key features of the new Riko's Pizza of Pompano Beach include:

"Nothing compares to Riko's Pizza, which is why we wanted to become a part of the brand and the driving force behind bringing it to Pompano Beach," said Jordan Mintz, Riko's Pizza franchisee. "When this South Florida community experiences these amazing tavern-style pies—a lost pizza artform dating back to the 1930s and 40s that Riko's has completely reinvented—they will fall in love with the incredibly crispy and super-thin crust, high quality ingredients, and unique cooking style that consistently create pizza with bold and powerful flavor. Whether you are looking for somewhere to bring your kids and family, somewhere to watch the game, or somewhere to gather with your friends for a great meal, Riko's Pizza of Pompano Beach has you covered. We're excited to serve this incredible South Florida community, and to redefine its definition of actual 'GOOD' pizza!"

This grand opening marks Riko's second South Florida location to open in the past 18 months; located in the Countyline Plaza in the Tequesta community of Jupiter, Riko's Pizza of Tequesta opened in August 2022. The Company has several other locations planned for the Sunshine State, with franchisees considering markets from Jacksonville to Miami, and Orlando to Naples.

"Pompano Beach, you have officially been saved from the same old sub-par pizza options you have been forced to accept," said Rico Imbrogno, co-founder and CEO of Riko's Pizza. "This is a huge moment for Riko's. Not only have we expanded our brand further throughout South Florida, but we have added two new incredible partners to the Riko's family in Jordan and Stefanija Mintz, our Pompano Beach franchisees.
