Fort Myers Beach Public Meeting
As local developers with over 30 years of experience in this region, we understand that transformative projects can bring both excitement and concern. As part of our planning process, we have had over two dozen meetings with architects, designers, engineers, business owners, and municipal stakeholders. We are committed to ensuring that this project aligns with the needs and desires of our community. With this in mind, we would like to share the details of this project with our surrounding neighbors and invite you to a public meeting where we will present our plans in detail and, most importantly, welcome your questions.
Due to limited meeting space capacity, we are asking that those interested in attending RSVP before Monday, August 12.
Seagate has a rich history in SW Florida as a developer that believes in collaborative, thoughtful approaches to projects, as depicted in this presentation of the concept for Fort Myers Beach. The renderings for this iteration are designed not only with Seagate’s vision, but with input from key stakeholders, residents, and leaders from the area.
What is Being Proposed?
Seagate Development Group of Fort Myers proposes redeveloping the former site of the Red Coconut using the existing Village density. This plan represents a 45% decrease in the allowable units per acre compared to what was previously allowed on the Red Coconut site. Under this proposal, the number of units allowed per acre on the Seagate site would decrease from 27 to 15. Zoning with deviations aims to provide significant public good in addition to decreasing density.
Seagate is proposing to build:
- Two condo buildings (137 total units) with architecturally varying heights (9, 10, 14 , and 15 stories over parking) in wedding cake design (1.5 to 2 stories fronting Estero).
- A two-story over parking Gulfront beach club
- Four single-family homes east of Donora Blvd.
Public Benefit
- Decrease of Red Coconut density from 27 units per acre to 15 units per acre
- Significant beach view enhancements – 50 feet is required in existing zoning; Seagate is providing 240 feet
- Density is being removed from the beach
- Three acres of public access open space, including:
- A beach park for public use
- A public-use park along Estero Blvd featuring bike racks and sitting areas
- Access to Mantazas Pass along with an area for bike parking
- A scenic walking path connecting all of the parks for easy access
- A public restaurant with stunning beach views
- Entrance to the project off of Estero Blvd to avoid traffic issues
- Limited access points on Estero Blvd.
- A resident-only crossover that won’t interfere with traffic flow.
- Closed-off access from Estero Blvd to Donora Blvd (lessening traffic on Estero)
- Northerly continuation of Donora Blvd.
- Beach club membership options for local residents
- Enhanced streetscapes and added shade trees along the sidewalk
- Buildings will be set back from Estero Blvd. (per code)
- Rebuild timeframe of 12 months to groundbreaking and 2 years for construction
