Developer's hyper-focus on land deals pays big dividends.

Verdana Village, a new master-planned development currently under construction off Corkscrew Road in Estero, will have a lot of the amenities you would expect from a residential community in Florida. There will be resort-style pools, a dog park and playground, and even spots for bocce ball and horseshoes.

But Verdana Village will also offer amenities that are a little more out-of-the-ordinary. In addition to the usual outdoor tennis and pickleball courts, the community will include a sports complex with indoor tennis and pickleball courts. “I think that is going to be a very unique feature,” says Nick Cameratta, COO of Cameratta Companies, the Estero-based family-owned firm developing Verdana Village. “We’ve always believed in building projects that are a little ahead of the curve.”
