Bal Harbour Square gets new tenants

The Bal Harbour Square shopping center in Fort Lauderdale, located at 1700 North Federal Highway, lost several retailers from 2007 to 2009, including Rag Shop, Bombay and Company, Pier 1 Kids, Linens ‘N Things and Circuit City. The 150,000-square-foot center was down to about 40 percent occupancy. Now, a redevelopment plan has helped clinch deals with new prospects. Retail Property Group, which owns the center, put in between $8 and $10 million on improvements, including parking, lighting and structural changes. By mid-2011, the group expects 100 percent occupancy. [Sun Sentinel]
