Westfield Broward (previously known as the Broward Mall) is a shopping mall in Plantation, Florida. The mall is owned by the Westfield Group, which acquired it in in 2007 from SPG-FCM Ventures, a 50/50 joint venture between an entity owned by Simon Property Group and funds managed by Farallon Capital Management; SPG-FCM Ventures had acquired the previous owner, Mills Corporation, earlier that year.[1] Mills had acquired it from Cadillac Fairview Corporation of Toronto in 2003.[2] The mall opened in 1978 with a Burdines store as its anchor.[3]
