Plantation was master-planned almost from the start. In the years before the city incorporated in 1953, developer Frederick Peters hired architect Russell Pancoast to lay out varied home designs, minimum lot sizes, and separated commercial and residential districts, an unusually deliberate approach for the era. When Plantation annexed the Plantation Acres area in the 1970s, it kept that same regard for space, preserving large, horse-friendly lots that still set those neighborhoods apart from the city’s denser, older sections.

Elbaz Construction works across that full range, from updating a well-built 1950s or ’60s home in central Plantation to expanding a residence on an Acres-sized lot. Because Plantation’s zoning and lot requirements vary so much by neighborhood, we start every project by confirming exactly what the property allows, then manage design, permitting, and construction as one connected process from there.
