WESTLAKE, FLA. — Minto Communities USA has brokered the sale of a 10.6-acre development site located in the master-planned community of Westlake in South Florida’s Palm Beach County. The buyer, Lowe’s Home Centers LLC, plans to build a 134,148-square-foot Lowe’s Home Improvement store that includes a 26,601-square-foot outdoor garden center. In addition to serving customers, the new location will serve as a regional headquarters for the North Carolina-based retailer. While further details of the sale were not disclosed, site plans have been approved by the City of Westlake. According to public records, Walmart has also submitted a site plan for a future location adjacent to the future Lowe’s.
Minto Communities has sold approximately half of the 2.2 million square feet approved for commercial development in Westlake, including 20 acres traded to Publix Super Markets Inc. in 2021 for a 140,000-square-foot, two-phase retail development that is now nearly fully leased.
