Building of Retail Complex in Westlake Commences 

Construction recently began on a new retail/restaurant complex in Westlake. The Shoppes of Westlake Landings comprises two multi-tenant retail shopping centers and a pod of quick service restaurants totaling 23,000 square feet. In 2021, Minto Communities sold a seven-acre parcel within the Westlake Landings business park to Konover South, the developer.

“This project represents another sign of the maturation of our growing city,” John Carter says, senior vice president of Minto. “Soon, our residents will have a convenient place to grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee, enjoy a workout, and take care of their everyday needs.”

To date, tenants that have signed leases include Starbucks, KFC, Taco Bell, Habit Burger 3 Natives, Heartland Dental, Verizon Wireless, Go Green Cleaners and Orange Theory. Konover South expects the complex to be 100 percent leased when it opens later this fall. 

The Shoppes of Westlake Landings is part of a broader building boom in Westlake, approved for 4,500 homes and 2.2 million square feet of commercial development.

In the first quarter of 2023, the new Publix at Westlake Plaza will open with a 50,000-square-foot Publix grocery store and eight new retail stores. In December 2022, Minto sold nine acres to a West Palm Beach e-commerce company, Jamlyn Supply Inc., to build an office/flex building and warehouse/distribution facility employing about 40 people.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
