The apartment developer has already rezoned the property from 250,000 square feet of commercial space to a residential zoning that will allow it to create a luxury apartment development.

Amenities will include a pool with a spa and a fitness center.
Brooks & Freund LLC of Fort Myers has been awarded the contract to construct the apartment complex. Work is scheduled to start soon, and the infrastructure is expected to be complete toward the end of the year. The first building will open in June 2016 with the remainder to follow in July 2016.
Andrew DeSalvo and Matt Stepan of Premier Commercial Inc. handled the transaction. The brokers are also marketing eight outparcels sites in Estero Oaks.
Oakbrook Properties owns and is the master developer for the remainder of the 36-acre Estero Oaks.
Brad Cox and Doug Rozzell with Thomas D. Wood and Co., a Strategic Alliance Mortgage LLC member, secured a $29.6 million construction loan for Royal Palm Cos. from C1 Bank.
