The Bottom Line on Plantation
Plantation is in central Broward County, just west of Fort Lauderdale, built from the 1950s on as a planned suburb on drained farmland. It is one of the county’s main office and retail centers: Westfield Broward and the Fashion Mall sit at Broward Boulevard and University Drive, the Plantation Midtown district holds a cluster of corporate and medical office, and Westside Regional and Plantation General hospitals anchor medical property.
Plantation is a softening housing market with shrinking inventory, and its commercial property trades in line with the rest of Broward County.

Plantation’s commercial market is office, medical and regional retail. Midtown and the Broward Boulevard corridor hold suburban office buildings that compete with downtown Fort Lauderdale and Sawgrass, medical office clusters around the two hospitals, and Westfield Broward and the surrounding centers carry the retail. Office here prices on occupancy and parking, and the older buildings along State Road 7 trade well below the Midtown core.
Plantation has about 18.8 million square feet of commercial buildings and recorded 26 arm's-length sales at a median $293 to $379 per square foot, close to the county's $322. There were 2 distress signals; we score them with Linton Global Technologies' CREDDS Framework (see our distressed commercial real estate hub).
Plantation is where Broward’s suburban office market gets tested. Before you buy a Midtown or Broward Boulevard office building, look hard at lease expirations and what it costs to re-tenant a floor, because that is where the cap rate is won or lost.
