FORT MYERS — Campo Felice Retirement Living has unveiled plans for a second phase of construction in downtown Fort Myers.
The community's second phase, at 2500 Edwards Drive in the downtown historic river district of the city, will contain 99 assisted living units and 20 specialized, memory care residences in a nine-story building.
The 170,408-square-foot second phase will offer five distinct assisted living floor plans, measuring from 425 square feet to 675 square feet in the new building's first eight floors. Amenities will include a 2,900-square-foot restaurant, movie theater, swimming pool and an exterior terrace.
The memory care units will be spread throughout two floors, and measure between 300 square feet to 350 square feet. Amenities there will include a 2,452-square-foot restaurant and multipurpose room, social spaces, an expansive courtyard and a covered balcony area.
The building also will contain three floors of medical office space available for lease.
The $45 million project, being designed by Patina Design Group LLC and Titsch + KO Architects and developed by Campo Felice owner MacFarlane Group LLC, is scheduled for completion in early 2019. Roughly 95 new jobs are expected to be created from the new phase of development.
“Bringing assisted living and memory care to Campo Felice Retirement Living will significantly complement our independent living offerings,” says Heather Battey, Campo Felice's executive director, in a statement.
“With on-site care and medical offices, Phase II eliminates the necessity for residents to leave campus as their medical and health needs change.”
Campo Felice's first phase, which will open in a few months, consists of a 24-story tower with 322 independent living suites that are under construction now — among the first new high-rises to be built in downtown Fort Myers in more than two decades.
