POMPANO BEACH, FL – Mark Corlew, partner of the
Pompano-based real estate investment group Grover Corlew, took part in the
first of a series of NAIOP city main street discussions that showcase
up-and-coming areas throughout South Florida.
The discussion brought
together a panel of high-profile civic leaders, developers and real estate
professionals to discuss the renaissance that is underway in Pompano Beach.
Corlew, who was
instrumental in the redevelopment of Las Olas and whose company, Grover Corlew,
now owns three commercial buildings in Pompano Beach, was well-qualified to
speak on the future development of the city.
When asked what initially
attracted his firm to the area, he said, “Pompano Beach is centrally positioned
close to major thoroughfares and within close proximity to thriving tri-county
cities such as Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. The strong workforce to the west
and the developed economic base also were natural attractors.”
When asked further about
his vision for the future of Pompano, he added that, “The city has worked
effectively to plan and implement revitalization efforts such as beautification
projects, and parking and main artery improvements, but continued investment is
needed to build on the momentum that the city has created. We envision Grover
Corlew’s properties functioning as mixed-use, with flourishing ground-floor
retail spaces as the city continues to evolve into a more pedestrian-friendly,
residential community.”
