Our Services

Commercial / Retail Development

Anchor Build Group develops neighborhood-serving retail centers and mixed-use commercial corridors that activate street life, attract quality tenants, and deliver long-term value to the communities they serve. We bring the same institutional discipline to commercial development that we apply across all of our business segments — rigorous site selection, market-driven programming, and hands-on delivery from entitlement through opening day.

Our Approach to Commercial Development

Successful retail development starts with understanding the trade area — who lives there, what they need, and what the market can support. We identify underserved locations with strong demographic fundamentals, assemble anchor tenants that drive traffic, and design centers that create genuine destinations rather than commodity strip centers. Every project is built to attract and retain quality tenants, generate stable income, and enhance the surrounding neighborhood.

Serving Underserved, High-Growth Florida Communities

Polk County and the broader Central Florida region continue to attract significant residential growth, yet many communities remain underserved by quality retail. Anchor Build Group targets these gaps — locations with strong household formation, limited existing retail supply, and clear demand for grocery-anchored neighborhood centers that serve everyday needs.

The Shops at Passion Play

Grocery-Anchored Retail Center

The Shops at Passion Play is a 76,000-square-foot grocery-anchored retail center strategically located in Lake Wales, Florida — a growing community in the heart of Polk County. The center is anchored by a 28,000-square-foot grocery store, providing the daily-needs traffic driver that supports the remaining 48,000 square feet of inline and outparcel retail space. The tenant mix is designed to serve the full spectrum of community needs, with space allocated for restaurants, specialty retailers, personal services, and convenience-oriented businesses. The center's design draws on a clean, contemporary Florida vernacular — open storefronts, shaded walkways, and lush landscaping — creating an inviting environment that encourages longer visits and repeat patronage. Lake Wales sits at the intersection of several high-growth residential corridors, and The Shops at Passion Play is positioned to become the primary retail destination for the surrounding trade area.
