MIAMI, FL –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the $13.1 million sale of Winfield Plaza, a 30,683-square-foot retail strip center located in the affluent South Florida community of Boca Raton.

The HFF team marketed the property on behalf of a private seller.  A private investor purchased the asset.

Situated on 2.82 acres at 471-515 Northeast 20th Street and 2001, 2151 and 2181-2201 North Federal Highway, Winfield Plaza is exposed to more than 45,000 vehicles per day. 

\The center is less than a mile from downtown Boca Raton, which is experiencing an urban renaissance with a surge in high-density development, and in an affluent area with almost 32,000 residents within a three-mile radius with an average annual household income of more than $105,000. 

Manny de Zarraga
Winfield Plaza comprises a strip center and three outparcels that are home to a variety of well-known tenants within the Boca Raton community, including Osha Thai Restaurant, Sweet Deals Chocolates, Subway, Sr Burrito, Cannoli Kitchen, Children’s Dental, Artful Dodger Bar & Grill, Keter Bakery and Cove Shoe Repair.

“Winfield Plaza represented a rare opportunity to acquire a well-located retail center in eastern Boca Raton,” Williams said.
