Plantation Commercial General Contractor You Can Trust
NAR Construction Development is a licensed commercial general contractor working throughout Plantation. Our clients are tenants signing a lease in Midtown, landlords turning over vacant bays on University Drive, medical groups opening near Westside, and franchise operators moving into Broward County for the first time.
Plantation is close to built out, so the work here is redevelopment. You are almost always inside an existing shell, working around a landlord, and often building next to a business that stays open the whole time. We take the permit package, the trade scheduling, the subcontractor management, and the inspections off your desk. We are based in Hollywood, roughly twenty minutes away on the Turnpike, which keeps our project managers on your site through the build rather than only at handover.
What the City of Plantation Expects From Your Contractor
Plantation runs its own Building Safety Department, and the city has requirements that catch outside contractors off guard. Every contractor and subcontractor on your job has to be registered with the city before a permit gets issued. The city also wants the subcontractor permits submitted together as one complete package, because a partial submittal sits in the queue while a complete one moves through review. Plans have to be signed and sealed under Florida Building Code 107.3.4, and product approvals need the stamp of the architect of record.
Building Safety is not the only review either. The Utilities Department verifies impact fees and sets backflow prevention requirements, and backflow is easy to overlook until it is the one item holding up your certificate of occupancy. Engineering picks up paving, curbing, and storm drainage. If your site falls inside a drainage district, that approval is a separate line on the schedule. We map all of it during the estimate, so the timeline you sign is the timeline you get.

Commercial Construction Services in Plantation
Commercial construction in Plantation runs through the city’s own Building Safety Department rather than a county office, and the review process here rewards contractors who submit complete. We deliver tenant improvements, white box conversions, full interior renovations, and ground up construction where a site allows for it. Most Plantation projects land in the tenant improvement category, since the growth in this city comes from re-tenanting space that already exists. On occupied properties we work directly with property management on access hours, loading and elevator schedules, and dust and noise control, which keeps the neighboring businesses open and your delivery date intact.
We stay on a job from the first budget through the final inspection, covering preconstruction pricing, permit filing, construction, and closeout. Office suites, dental and medical practices, showrooms, retail bays, restaurants, gyms, and salon and spa space all sit inside what we build. Plantation weights heavily toward office and medical work because of who is based here. Motorola Solutions, Aetna, TradeStation, Virgin Voyages, and Magic Leap all have a footprint in the city, and two hospitals anchor the medical office market around them. Tenants like these need buildouts that pass inspection and still work three years into the lease.
Retail Stores & Shopping Center Construction in Plantation
Retail in Plantation is concentrated, which puts landlord coordination at the top of the skill list for any retail contractor working here. Broward Mall sits on University Drive, Plantation Walk occupies the old Fashion Mall site nearby, and the plazas along Broward Boulevard, Pine Island Road, and Cleary Boulevard carry the neighborhood retail. Nearly all of it is managed property with construction rules attached: insurance certificates, approved work hours, protected access routes, and a tenant coordinator who signs off before a crew touches anything. We build to those rules from day one, which keeps your access approved and your schedule where you left it.
Retail work for us covers phased tenant buildouts inside occupied centers, custom storefronts and exterior facade construction, turnkey interiors and finish carpentry, and ADA and local code compliance. Plantation Walk raised the bar for what retail space here is measured against. It replaced an enclosed mall that closed in 2006 with an open air mix of shops, restaurants, a 160,000 square foot office tower, a hotel, and apartments, and tenants opening around it get compared to that. A single location and a multi store rollout get the same treatment here. We work backward from the date on your lease and hold to the brand standards your team has already signed off on.
Restaurants & Hospitality Construction Services in Plantation
A restaurant in Plantation is a permitting job as much as a construction job. A commercial kitchen brings grease waste interceptors, hood and exhaust systems, makeup air, and a backflow assembly the Utilities Department wants documented before anyone signs off. Add the health inspection and the fire marshal and a restaurant carries more approvals than any other space we build. We run those reviews in parallel wherever the city allows it, so one open item does not stall the four behind it.
On the hospitality side we build dining rooms, bars, and lounges that move guests and turn tables, hotel lobbies and guest amenity areas, and commercial kitchens with code compliant ventilation and exhaust. Permitting runs from application through certificate of occupancy under our scope. Plantation supports sit down restaurants along University Drive and Broward Boulevard, quick service tenants in the neighborhood plazas, and hotel food and beverage space at the Sheraton Suites property inside Plantation Walk. Those three price and schedule very differently, and we quote them that way.
What You Get When NAR Handles Your Plantation Commercial Construction
Plantation business owners can call a long list of contractors. The short list is contractors already registered with the City of Plantation, who understand how Building Safety, Utilities, and Engineering each look at a job, and who can point to finished commercial buildouts across South Florida. We built this company to be on the short list.
Office, medical, retail, and restaurant work all run through the same team here, from the walkthrough to the final sign off. There is one contract, one project manager, and nobody to point at when something needs a decision. Here is what that looks like on a Plantation job:
- Already registered in Plantation: We are set up with the city as a contractor, so your permit application is never waiting on our paperwork.
- Complete permit packages: We file the general and subcontractor permits together the way Building Safety asks for them, which keeps your job out of the resubmittal loop.
- Licensed and insured: A fully licensed and insured Commercial General Contractor holds your contract, with certificates of insurance issued the way the city requires.
- Every trade on one contract: You sign once, and every trade on the site reports to the same project manager instead of to you.
- Utilities and Engineering handled: Impact fee verification, backflow, paving, curbing, and storm drainage get filed and tracked alongside the building permit.
- Pricing you can hold a budget to: Line item proposals priced off the drawings, with allowances called out where they exist instead of buried in a lump sum.
- Scheduled backward from your opening: We start at your launch date and work back, then order long lead items early to defend it.
- Occupied buildings are routine for us: Approved work hours, protected access routes, dust and noise control, and a property manager who always knows what happens tomorrow.
- Hollywood based project managers: Close enough that site visits are frequent and a question gets an answer the day you ask it.
Plantation Commercial Construction: Building Inside an 850-Acre Business District
Plantation has roughly 94,000 residents and about 5,400 businesses, and the commercial center of gravity is Plantation Midtown. Midtown is an 850-acre central business district bounded by Cleary Boulevard on the north, Interstate 595 on the south, University Drive on the east, and Pine Island Road on the west. The city created it in 1988 as a Safe Neighborhood Improvement District and has been redeveloping it ever since. Office towers, medical buildings, retail centers, hotels, and apartments all sit inside those four roads, which is why so much of the commercial construction in this city happens within a couple of square miles.
The rest of Plantation builds on different terms. HCA Florida Westside Hospital on West Broward Boulevard and Plantation General Hospital pull medical and dental practices into the office space around them. Jacaranda carries neighborhood retail and professional suites. Plantation Acres out west is large lot and low density, and commercial work there is limited and reviewed closely. Which of these you are building in changes your permit strategy, your subcontractor list, and your schedule, and a contractor who has not worked across all of them tends to price every job the same way.
The city sits in the geographic center of Broward County with direct access to Interstate 595, the Florida Turnpike, and Interstate 95, and Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport is about twenty minutes out. That location is a large part of why national tenants keep choosing Plantation, and it is also why construction access has to be planned around traffic. Our office in Hollywood is a straight run down the Turnpike, which means frequent site supervision and a fast answer when something on your job needs a decision. If you are weighing contractors on licensing, permitting experience, and response time, being close by counts for more than it sounds like it should.

Customer Testimonials: What Our Clients Say
What Plantation Business Owners Ask Before Hiring a Contractor
We build tenant improvements, white box conversions, and full interior renovations for retail stores, restaurants, professional and medical offices, showrooms, and fitness and wellness spaces, across Midtown, University Drive, Broward Boulevard, and the Jacaranda area.
We do. That covers our registration with the city, the general and subcontractor permits assembled as one package, plan review and inspections through Building Safety, Utilities, and Engineering, and drainage district approval when your site needs it.
Yes. We work approved hours, coordinate access and deliveries with the property manager or tenant coordinator, and control dust, noise, and debris so the businesses around you keep operating normally.
Two things, mainly: how much of the existing shell you are keeping, and how many separate reviews your use triggers. A retail or office tenant improvement clears quickly. A restaurant runs longer because kitchen ventilation, grease waste, backflow, health, and fire all get reviewed. Your schedule shows the permitting window before you sign anything.
Yes. NAR Construction Development is a licensed and insured Commercial General Contractor registered to pull permits in Plantation, and we provide certificates of insurance naming the City as certificate holder, which the permit process requires.
