Leonard Farber, developer of the Pompano Fashion Square, died yesterday at the age of 89.

Now undergoing extensive redevelopment and renaming to Pompano Citi Centre, the Fashion Square was the area's first enclosed shopping mall.

Farber's obituary in the Sun-Sentinel notes that although he developed 45 malls and shopping centers, his first and last major projects were in Broward County -- Pompano's in 1970, and Fort Lauderdale's The Galleria in the 1980s.
