Rendina Companies, one of Palm Beach County’s prominent real estate development firms, is pleased to announce that South University, a private academic institution established in 1899, has signed a 40,000-square-foot lease to anchor its University Centre.
University Centre will consist of approximately 100,000 square feet of office space in three buildings, all situated on a 10-acre site at the corner of U.S. 441 and Belvedere Road in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. South University will relocate to the new 40,000- square-foot, Phase I, building of University Centre in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The development of a new South University campus is overdue,” said John T. South, III. “The location at U.S. 441 and Belvedere Road will allow us to serve a broader community in the Palm Beach County area and allow us to serve our students better. The scope of the university’s programs has exceeded our current location, and the campus Rendina has planned reflects who we are and what South University is really all about.”
University Centre is designed with a Mediterranean influence and will feature state-of-the-art, hurricane resistant infrastructure. South University’s building will include several large labs, lecture halls, a library, and seminar rooms, for the 83 member faculty to use in teaching the university’s professional nursing, physical therapy assisting, business, information technology, healthcare management, graphic design, legal studies, behavioral sciences and criminal justice programs.
“We are proud to add South University to this exciting new project,” added Richard M. Rendina, Chairman and CEO of Rendina Companies. “The educational tradition established by this fine institution throughout the southeast United States will be enhanced by its new home in Palm Beach County and will in turn attract other quality tenants to University Centre.”
