Kendale Lakes Plaza is a 404,000-square-foot community retail power center in Miami, Florida located in the middle of an area with very strong demographics.  Although the original Kendale Lakes Mall was very well located, the property experienced high vacancies. In addition, the property had become rundown and badly damaged as a result of Hurricane Andrew. Ultimately, the property was taken back from its original owner by the lender and subsequently purchased by affiliates of the Swerdlow Group. A site plan and construction phasing plan was developed and successfully executed which converted the existing concept into a state-of-the-art community retail center.
