ANF Group has completed the construction of Shalimar West, a 240-unit luxury project that is part of Shalimar at Plantation, a two-building development in Plantation, Fla. The 616,164-square-foot multifamily community was developed by TM Real Estate Group and designed by MSA Architects.

Located at 8500 Cleary Blvd., Shalimar West is a five-story, garden-style building comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 749 square feet to 1,334 square feet. Unit interiors feature oversized low-emissivity windows, stainless steel appliances and walk-in closets with built-in shelving. The apartments are also equipped with washers, dryers and digital locks.

Common-area amenities include passenger elevators, a fitness center, a business center, a clubhouse, a swimming pool and 1600 vehicle parking spots, according to Yardi Matrix. TM Real Estate Group took a $44 million loan originated by Principal Financial Group to finance the project’s construction, which began in late 2021.

Outdoor amenities at Shalimar West include walkways, balconies, an outdoor courtyard, a swimming pool with a sundeck, lounge areas, social spaces, an outdoor entertainment pavilion, fireplaces, an on-site dog park and a pet-washing station. Additionally, the property provides 10,000 square feet of retail space.

Shalimar West is situated within Plantation Midtown Square, a project developed on a 25-acre lot that is expected to include 480 luxury apartments, a three-story parking garage and 86 townhomes. The luxury community is close to Interstate 595 and to Broward Mall, 8 miles from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., 12 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, 31 miles from Hialeah, Fla., and within 33 miles of Miami.
