Benderson Acquires Whole Foods and Target-Anchored Center in Clearwater, Florida

UNIVERSITY PARK, FL (December 10, 2025) — Benderson Development continues to grow its Florida portfolio. The real estate company today announced the acquisition of Clearwater Shoppes, a 216,692-square-foot grocery-anchored shopping center in Clearwater, Florida. The fully leased property is anchored by Whole Foods Market, Target and Nordstrom Rack, bringing together three top-performing brands in one of Pinellas County’s most prominent retail corridors.

Situated at 27001 US-19 N, the 14.47-acre property occupies a prime corner at US Hwy-19 and Main Street, offering 1,700 feet of frontage along a highly traveled corridor with 185,300 vehicles per day. The center benefits from direct connectivity to Countryside Mall, a 1.3-million-square-foot super-regional mall that ranks as the second most visited mall in a 50-mile area, creating powerful synergy for customers and tenants.

“This acquisition aligns with our strategy of investing in high-performing retail destinations in fast-growing markets,” said Managing Director Randy Benderson. “Clearwater Shoppes’ convenient access along US Highway 19, strong tenant mix and outstanding location in one of the largest and fastest growing MSAs in the country make it a powerful addition to our expanding Florida portfolio.”
