FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. — Halvorsen Holdings has begun construction on 1600 Commons, a shopping center anchored by Trader Joe’s and Nordstrom Rack. The in-fill development will be the first Fort Lauderdale stores for the two retailers. The 80,000-square-foot center is located along Federal Highway between Oakland Park and Sunrise Boulevard. Halvorsen Holdings purchased the existing Toys “R” Us and Office Depot on the site and begun demolition to make way for the 12,500-square-foot Trader Joe’s and a new prototype for a 15,500-square-foot Office Depot. The two-story Nordstrom Rack will span 36,000 square feet. Other committed tenants include Mattress Firm, T-Mobile, Hair Cuttery and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.
