Hi. This appears to be a Duranta, popularly called Golden Dew Drop, possibly the Sapphire Showers variety. In the Florida landscape, these get huge: ours are young but over six feet; I understand they can grow to 15′ They can die to the ground if we get a hard freeze (rare here in North Florida) but always come back strong. They often show brilliant golden berries and purple blossoms, edged in white, at the same time. We get sports with pure white blossoms.
