Retail build-outs span a wider range than almost any other commercial type — from a clean white-box boutique requiring minimal trade work to a heavy MEP conversion that behaves more like a restaurant project. The cost difference between those two extremes is significant. A basic retail conversion in an existing warm shell might land around $60–$80 per sq ft. Add significant electrical for specialty lighting, HVAC zoning, custom millwork, storefront modifications, or a food prep area, and the number moves materially.
The most common mistake we see in retail projects is owners locking in their lease before understanding what the space actually needs to become what they want. A beautiful space with poor power, inadequate HVAC, or a floor plan that doesn't support the intended use becomes expensive to correct mid-construction — and even more expensive when it creates operational problems after opening. The time to identify those issues is before the lease is signed, not after demo begins.
We build retail across Palm Beach County — boutique retail, personal care, specialty food, service retail, and mixed-use ground-floor commercial. The key on any retail project is understanding what the business actually needs operationally and building to that, not just to what's on the drawings. A space that works well for the business is the goal. A space that passes inspection is just the minimum.
Lantana runs along US-1 between Lake Worth Beach and Boynton Beach, with a mixed commercial market of retail, restaurant, and service businesses. The Town of Lantana's permit process is small-office in character. Projects in Lantana tend to be practical build-outs serving the local residential market. It's a market where execution and reliability matter more than brand recognition.
