Benderson Development makes push west with acquisitions

Manatee County-based Benderson Development Co. is making a push west, with a handful of acquisitions along the West Coast in the past year totaling more than $121 million.

But unlike typical Benderson purchases, its deals in Chicago, Seattle and a trio of deals in California involve one-off, stand-alone assets and not entire shopping centers, as was the case when it acquired and revived the troubled Landings Shopping Center and Pelican Plaza, both in Sarasota County, over the past three years.
