Englewood’s newest project for Wisconsin-based doll retailer American Girl, the company will combine four vacant storefronts into one large 15,000 square-foot retail space for American Girl. The project, located in The Falls Mall in Miami, marks the seventh store Englewood Construction has built for American Girl.

The construction firm also recently completed two stores for the maternity retailer under the Motherhood Maternity name: a 1,852-square-foot store located in The Shoppes at Grand Prairie Mall in Peoria, Ill.; and a 1,537-square-foot store at Marketplace at Seminole Towne Center in Sanford, Fla.
