Plescia Construction & Development is a commercial general contractor and construction management firm building in Hollywood, Florida — a Broward County city on the Gold Coast between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. From the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and a revitalizing downtown to the Seminole Hard Rock entertainment district and the Memorial Healthcare System, we build to the standard — and the strict Broward code — this market demands.
Commercial Construction in Hollywood
Hollywood pairs a classic beach-and-tourism economy with serious institutional anchors. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk drives a hospitality and restaurant market; downtown Hollywood is in the middle of an arts, dining, and mixed-use revitalization; the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and its Guitar Hotel anchor one of the largest entertainment destinations in the state; and the Memorial Healthcare System — headquartered here — anchors a major healthcare sector. Each of these asks something specific from a contractor, and we build to it.
Our Hollywood work spans the full range of commercial space:
- Hospitality and restaurant — hotels, restaurants, and entertainment along the Broadwalk and across the beach district.
- Downtown and mixed-use — retail, dining, office, and mixed-use in the revitalizing downtown.
- Entertainment and gaming-adjacent — hospitality and commercial space serving the Hard Rock entertainment district.
- Healthcare and medical office — exam suites, imaging, and ambulatory space serving the Memorial Healthcare System.
- Industrial and flex — distribution, service, and flex space along the city’s corridors and near Port Everglades.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We work throughout Hollywood — the Beach and Broadwalk, downtown Hollywood and Young Circle, the Hard Rock and State Road 7 corridor, and the industrial and commercial corridors toward Port Everglades. Every project runs through the City of Hollywood building department.
Permitting and Code in Hollywood
As part of Broward County, Hollywood sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — the strictest part of the Florida Building Code — and its beachfront and low-lying areas bring real flood exposure. Building here means designing for wind and water and working through the City of Hollywood.
Several requirements shape commercial work here:
- High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — wind-load and missile-impact design govern the envelope, with products carrying Miami-Dade Notices of Acceptance (NOAs).
- Coastal and stormwater flood — the beach and low-lying areas bring FEMA flood-zone, base flood elevation, and stormwater requirements.
- Building recertification — Broward’s recertification and Florida’s milestone inspection programs drive structural and facade repairs on existing buildings.
- Beach-district and downtown logistics — the Broadwalk, an active tourist economy, and a tightening downtown make staging and phasing central.
Designing for wind and water from the start is what keeps a Hollywood project on schedule.
How We Manage Risk on Hollywood Projects
From a Broadwalk restaurant to a downtown mixed-use building, the same discipline applies: build to the HVHZ and the flood requirements, plan the logistics realistically, protect the businesses and guests around the work, and keep life-safety systems live throughout. We coordinate deliveries, phasing, and inspections with owners, tenants, and the City of Hollywood, and we carry the insurance limits and trade relationships that Hollywood ownership expects.
Every job runs through a single point of accountability. Owners, tenants, the building department, and the design team work through one team that owns the schedule, the budget, and the safety plan — not a chain of subcontractors pointing at each other.
Representative Commercial Work
Plescia’s portfolio spans hospitality, restaurant, healthcare, and mixed-use work of the kind Hollywood demands. While every market has its own specifics, the discipline is the same one we bring to projects across our Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Texas markets: realistic schedules, transparent budgets, and a finished space that performs. We’re glad to walk prospective Hollywood clients through relevant past work during an initial conversation.
