LOCAL INTERESTParkland Commons Under DevelopmentBy Bill JohnsonA construction site on the north end of Parkland is alive with activitythese days. Each day, trucks roll in with supplies and about 90 people arebusy doing what it takes to build a retail shopping center. This is theParkland Commons retail center on University Drive, just north of theParkland Golf and Country Club.Ground was broken in mid-September. By late November, the shells ofseveral buildings had grown, including the center’s anchor — a 46,000square foot Publix supermarket, the largest of the buildings. There will beseven buildings in all, including the supermarket, a restaurant, and fiveretail stores.SIKON Construction Corporation, of Deerfield Beach, is building thecenter for the developer, Monroe’s Prestige Group, of Safety Harbor,Florida. Kenneth Carlson, Architect, of Deerfield Beach, producedthe design. Dale Scott, senior vice president of SIKON, is highlycomplimentary of the architect’s “high-end design” by Chris Nardone,chief architect for Carlson. Scott describes the look as “Tuscan style” witha waterfront feeling. The design features integrated stone, arches, boldopenings, tubular frames, and terra cotta barrel tiles.The project includes alake and a boardwalk. The 4,300 square foot restaurant will have a scenicwaterfront view.By late November, the shell of Publix was complete and a watertight roofwas in place. Inside, electrical wiring and plumbing were being installedand framing was in progress. The shells of two other buildings werecomplete, and two more were about 80 percent complete.Three of the fiveretail buildings in the center will be about 7,700 square feet. One will beabout 4,400 square feet; one around 11,800 square feet.for energy efficiency. Such projects are designated as LEED-projects.(LEED designates Leadership in Energy Efficient Design.) To earn thatdesignation, the U.S. Green Building Council must certify the design.While SIKON’s Dale Scott considers the Parkland Commons project tobe routine for a company with 50 years experience, it’s not cookie-cutter.“Every project has individual characteristics,” adds Mike Silverman, theSenior Project Manager. But he doesn’t expect any unusual challenges.If everything goes according to schedule, SIKON will have the ParklandCommons retail center built and ready for business by this coming July. It’stoo early to know what stores, other than Publix, will occupy the space.Bill Johnson is a freelance writer and partner in Treehouse Studios, acommunications business in Coconut Creek.All of this is routine work for the folks at SIKON Construction. Thecompany regularly builds retail space for major retailers, including Publix,Target, Office Depot, Sports Authority, Walgreens and others.“Normally,we have four or five Target stores going,” Scott says.This is not SIKON’s first project in the Parkland-Coral Springs area. Thecompany has made a mark in Coral Springs, where it has built stores forTarget, the Ross at the North Springs Plaza and the Coral Landing IIIretail shopping center. SIKON is also doing construction work on theexpansive Promenade at Coconut Creek, which is being promoted as oneof the nation’s largest mixed-use developments to meet a certain standard18 FEBRUARY 2008
