Restoring Community, Rebuilding Futures: Holtz Builders in Fort Myers Beach

Holtz Builders has always believed that construction is about more than bricks and beams—it’s about building stronger communities. Known for a culture rooted in integrity, resilience, and giving back, Holtz doesn’t just invest in projects; they invest in people. So, when powerful hurricanes tore through Fort Myers Beach in recent years—leaving devastation, displacement, and uncertainty in their wake—stepping in to help was a natural next step for Holtz Builders. 

Investing in Fort Myers wasn’t just a business decision, it’s a reflection of who they are. At Holtz Builders, they believe in standing with communities—using their expertise not just to build structures, but to help restore a sense of stability, hope, and progress. 

With decades of experience and a hands-on, heart-first approach, Holtz Builders arrived not just as contractors, but as true partners in recovery. Today, they’re working alongside residents and business owners to help bring Fort Myers Beach back to life—one resilient, future-ready project at a time. 

One of those projects is the Dolphin Watch Condominiums, a Gulf-front, eight-story property with 32 units. Remarkably, it was one of the few structures solid enough to be salvaged. Holtz Builders is now leading its full-scale transformation. With permits in hand, construction crews are already on-site, pushing the project forward. 

Holtz Builders brings more than tools and blueprints—they bring a commitment to doing things right, and doing them with heart. That’s why they combine expert craftsmanship with compassion, using storm-resilient materials and the latest building standards to help ensure what we build today can stand strong tomorrow.

Navigating post-disaster rebuilding in Fort Myers is no small task. Complex zoning requirements, ever-changing safety mandates, and permitting delays are part of the landscape. But Holtz is helping clients through it all. They’ve established a local Resource Center right on Estero Boulevard and launched a dedicated Storm Recovery Resource site — holtzbuilders.com/storm-resource-center — to guide residents through everything from FEMA aid to permitting. 

The journey back to normal is ongoing, but with Holtz Builders leading the way, Fort Myers Beach isn’t just rebuilding—it’s coming back stronger, smarter, and filled with hope for the future.
