Westlake will soon get a new store where residents can buy home, garden, agriculture and pet supplies.
Minto Communities, the developer and primary builder in the lifestyle-centric Westlake master-planned community, sold a four-acre commercial site to a developer who will build a new location for Tractor Supply Co., the country’s largest rural lifestyle retailer.
Tractor Supply sells items like lawnmowers, trailers, tools, farm and ranching equipment, clothing, pet food and livestock feed. Residents will have access to a pet-washing station where they can bathe their furry friends for a nominal fee.
The Westlake Tractor Supply store will be built at 16830 Persimmon Blvd., inside the Westlake Landings business park. The main building will be approximately 24,000 square feet under air, with an adjacent 20,000-square-foot fenced outdoor garden center. A groundbreaking is expected to occur within the next couple of months, and an opening date is estimated sometime after the first of next year. The company currently operates two other Tractor Supply stores in Palm Beach County, and more than 2,200 stores in 49 states.
“We are very excited to welcome Tractor Supply to Westlake,” said John Carter Sr., vice president of Minto Communities USA. “With so many new homes being built in our city, I anticipate a big demand for their products and services. Having a sizeable retailer such as Tractor Supply choose to open in Westlake is a testament to the market potential in our growing city.”
With a population nearing 7,000, Westlake is one of the fastest-growing communities in Palm Beach County and all of Florida.
The Tractor Supply announcement comes as the city is undergoing a retail and restaurant building boom. Another local developer is finishing up construction on two outdoor shopping centers that comprise the Shoppes of Westlake. Tenants include Starbucks, KFC, Taco Bell, Habit Burger, 3 Natives, Heartland Dental, Verizon Wireless, Go Green Cleaners and Orangetheory Fitness. Publix, which opened a grocery store in Westlake a year ago, has started constructing a new retail center on adjacent land, phase two of its approved development plan.
On the residential side, Minto recently opened four furnished model homes at its newest townhome neighborhood, The Terraces. The Terraces features 3- to 4-bedroom homes from the new Courtyard Collection with prices starting in the mid-$300s. All have two-car garages, front-entry-covered lanais and impact-resistant windows. The interior features include dramatic ceiling heights on the first floor, island kitchens with granite countertops, energy-efficient appliances and walk-in closets.
Westlake buyers can also find a stunning selection of single-family and estate homes starting in the mid-$400s. All homeowners can enjoy the extensive amenities found at the $22 million Westlake Adventure Park. The park features a resort-style lagoon pool with a tower slide, splash pad and poolside concessions, along with many other amenities.
