Walmart and Lowe's are both coming to Westlake, side by side in Town Center West off Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. Lowe's closed on its site in January 2026, Walmart was approved in April 2026, and neither has announced an opening date.
Walmart and Lowe's in Westlake: The Short Answer
Walmart and Lowe's are both coming to Westlake, side by side in Town Center West off Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. Lowe's closed on its 10.64-acre site in January 2026. The City of Westlake approved Walmart's 188,779-square-foot supercenter in April 2026. Neither company has announced an opening date.
That is where it stands as of mid-October 2026.
Why does a real estate guy care where you buy paint and paper towels? Because for years the first question from Westlake buyers wasn't about the house. It was, "Where do I go for groceries and a hardware store?" The honest answer was a drive. That answer is about to change, and it changes how Westlake stacks up against Wellington and Royal Palm Beach.
What Is Actually Approved and Planned
| Lowe's | Walmart Supercenter | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Town Center West, Seminole Pratt Whitney Road at Town Center Parkway North | Town Center West, just west of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road near 60th Street North, next to Lowe's |
| Land | 10.64 acres, sold by Minto Communities USA, closed January 29, 2026 | 24 acres, sale announced by Minto July 31, 2026 |
| Size | About 134,148 sq ft: a 107,547 sq ft store plus a 26,601 sq ft garden center | 188,779 sq ft |
| What's in it | Home improvement store and a regional headquarters for Lowe's | Groceries, pharmacy, garden center, auto center, vision center, plus a separate convenience store and gas station |
| Status | Land closed January 2026. What Now Miami reported in July 2026 that construction would begin shortly. | Approved by Westlake's city council in April 2026 |
| Opening date | Not announced by Lowe's. What Now Miami reported the store should be complete between the end of 2026 and early 2027. | Not announced |

Two details most people miss.
Lowe's isn't just a store here. Minto Communities USA says it will work as a regional headquarters, and the Westlake Wanderer reported about 150 jobs tied to it. Jobs close to home are what turn a bedroom community into a town.
And the Walmart comes with a gas station and a separate convenience store, according to WFLX. If you live in Westlake today, you know how far you drive for gas. You'll feel that change every week.
What It Means for Westlake Buyers
Here's the part nobody puts in the press release.
Big retail follows rooftops. Westlake has about 3,880 homes today and another 1,600 approved that haven't broken ground, according to Westlake's mayor in a WFLX report from August 2026. Walmart and Lowe's didn't come to Westlake on a hunch. The homes were already there.
That's good news for owners. It doesn't mean prices jump on their own.
Here's what the MLS shows for Westlake residential resales and MLS-listed new homes (Flexmls, pulled October 17, 2026).
| Measure | October 2025 | September 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Homes for sale (active listings) | 92 | 79 |
| Median list price of active homes | $692,495 | $769,000 |
| Median sold price that month | $620,000 | $690,000 |
| Average sold price that month | $645,032 | $660,891 |
Across the 12 months from October 2025 through September 2026, the monthly median sold price ran from $552,450 to $690,000 (Flexmls). That is a wide swing for one city. A few larger or newer homes closing in the same month can move a median a long way, so read any single month with care.
The gap is the story. Active homes were listed at a median of $769,000 in September. Homes that closed that month went for a median of $690,000. If you're buying, that gap is your negotiating room. If you're selling, it's a warning to price to what sells, not what's listed.
Also remember that many Westlake new homes are sold directly by the builders and never touch the MLS. Builder incentives move more than list prices do. That's where buyers leave money on the table.
That's why we built The Wilder Way to New Construction. It's our free guide, and it shows how to compare a builder's deal against a resale down the street before you sign anything.
Westlake, Wellington or Arden: How I'd Think About It
Westlake only became a city in 2016, according to WFLX. Ten years later it has a Lowe's site sold and a Walmart approved. That tells you how many households are already out here.
So here's how I'd think about it.
If you want new construction, newer systems and a newer roof, which usually makes the insurance conversation easier, Westlake makes a strong case, and the shopping gap is closing.
If you want established trees, mature neighborhoods and a short drive to everything today, Wellington still wins.

Selling Your Current Home Too?
A lot of Westlake buyers are moving up from Royal Palm Beach, The Acreage or Broward. You're buying the new house and selling the old one, and the order of those two closings matters more than most people think, especially when a builder's closing date can slide.
Our seller guide walks you through lining both up. Want to know what your current home is worth first? Get a free home valuation.
