Fort Myers is welcoming an exciting new development that blends modern living with convenience, accessibility, and natural beauty. CenterPlace, an ambitious 886-acre mixed-use community, is taking shape adjacent to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) and Miromar Lakes, promising a vibrant blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.
A Vision for Modern Living
At full build-out, CenterPlace will feature 1,950 multi-family residential units, offering a mix of condominiums and rental apartments designed for both comfort and convenience. With a focus on walkability, residents will enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, making it a highly desirable location for students, young professionals, and families alike.
Exciting Commercial & Hospitality Features
Beyond residential offerings, CenterPlace will include a 250-room hotel and conference center, catering to both business and leisure travelers. The community will also host office spaces and retail shops, creating a dynamic hub for work and play.
A Community Designed for Balance
One of the standout features of CenterPlace is its dedication to preserving green space. Approximately 170 acres will be designated as open space, enhancing the natural beauty of the development. With frontage on a freshwater lake, residents and visitors alike will enjoy scenic views and outdoor recreational opportunities.
Prime Location in Southwest Florida
Strategically positioned east of Ben Hill Griffin Parkway and south of Alico Road, CenterPlace is at the heart of Fort Myers’ growth corridor. It offers immediate access to FGCU and is just minutes from Gulf Coast Town Center, one of the area’s premier shopping and dining destinations.
A Developer with Proven Success
The driving force behind CenterPlace is Private Equity Group, a developer with a strong track record in Southwest Florida. Their past projects include The Landings Yacht, Golf, and Tennis Club along the Caloosahatchee River and the Coral Point Shopping Center in Cape Coral—both well-established and highly regarded developments.
A New Era for Fort Myers
With its modern residences, thriving commercial spaces, and commitment to preserving nature, CenterPlace is set to become a landmark community in Fort Myers. Whether you’re looking for a place to call home, a vibrant business location, or a premier destination for shopping and entertainment, CenterPlace is shaping up to be the perfect blend of urban convenience and natural charm.
