Westlake, Palm Beach County’s newest city, will see the addition of the Westlake Palms shopping plaza, with construction scheduled to begin on January 3, 2025. The 1.3-acre commercial development site, located at 4931 Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, was sold by Minto Communities, the master developer of Westlake, to Westlake Palms, LLC, led by Don Hearing.
The project will include a 10,400-square-foot multi-tenant retail center designed with seven in-line bays ranging from 1,305 to 1,648 square feet. Two tenants have opted to combine adjacent bays for larger spaces. The center will house a pre-leased optometrist, dentist, orthodontist, and café. Additional features include 48 parking spaces, two electric vehicle charging stations, and a bike rack.

AS A 78 YEAR OLD NEW YORKER, WHOSE PARENTS PURCHASED THEIR FIRST HOME IN 1941, JUST PRIOR TO PEARL HARBOR (THREE BEDROOM, REAL SLATE ROOF, 5 X 100 PROPERTY) IN QUEENS,
NYC, FOR ….. $7,200, !!! YES, NO MISTAKE – AND IS NOW – 2024 DEMANDS ONE MILLION,
THE IDEA THAT YOUR HOMES … ‘RANGE’ IN THE MID – $400,000.00 BOGGLES MY MIND.
PERHAPS, I’VE LIVED TOO LONG.
EXAMPLE: WHEN – ‘ROLLS ROYCE’ OFFERS AN SUV – FOR THE SAME PRICE AS YOUR MID PRICED HOMES, MONEY MEANS … ‘NOTHING’. OH YES, MERRY CHIRISMAS!
