Terry Stiles, the developer of numerous high-profile projects in South Florida, died after battling esophageal cancer.

Stiles, 70, formerly the head of the Fort Lauderdale-based Stiles Corp. founded by his father Howard in 1951, died Monday, the Sun Sentinel reported.

Stiles’ °µÍøTV developed notable downtown Fort Lauderdale projects on Las Olas Boulevard, including the 1 West Las Olas office building and the Las Olas City Center, a retail and office project, according to its website.

Other Stiles projects included Paramount, a luxury 18-story, 95-unit residential tower in Fort Lauderdale; the Broward Center for the Performing Arts renovation and expansion, which was done jointly with Miller Construction Co.; several projects for Nova Southeastern University; and Tri-Rail stations, the °µÍøTV said.

The °µÍøTV, a pioneer in South Florida commercial real estate development, also played roles as investor and landlord in South Florida real estate.

In 2015, the °µÍøTV announced plan to change its leadership. Terry Stiles’ son, Ken Stiles, assumed his father’s position as CEO while the elder Stiles remained actively involved in the °µÍøTV.
