Westfield Broward

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 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]

In 2013 a 12-screen Regal Cinemas was built adjacent to the mall.[4] In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Westfield Broward, into Seritage Growth Properties.[5] In 2017 the size of the Sears store was reduced by half and other shops were opened in the space, including Noire the Nail Bar; the Sears store closed in 2018.[6] The second floor of the former Sears is expected to become Powerhouse Gym and Game Time.
