The recent announcement that the Village Square project, a $150 million dollar development plan for residential and commercial buildings, has been approved and will break ground this year is the cause for the excitement trickling through the Cape Coral Community Redevelopment Agency.

The project includes three, 6-story buildings with commercial, professional and residential units and two residential buildings with seven floors  atop a six-story parking garage. 251,000 square feet of the project will feature commercial space for a movie theater, shops, restaurants and office space; the remaining space will be used for 152 residential units. The project will be completed in five phases over the course of two to three years.

 The short-term goal of the project is create a place where Cape Coral residents can shop, live and gather without traveling to Fort Myers and Bonita Springs. The long-term goal of this project and the other projects in the wood-works is to improve Cape Coral’s value as a place of residence, as a city and a business hub, as well as increase the property value.

“A Boater’s Destiny”: Cape Harbour’s Luxury Waterfront Homes

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Nestled between the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River on the Gulf of Mexico and the barrier islands of Sanibel and Captiva, Cape Harbour is the ultimate boaters’ paradise. Take in the beauty of Florida’s wildlife amongst the preserves right from the balcony of your amazing new home. Or be your own captain and navigate Cape Coral’s 400 miles of canals by boat. If waterfront real estate is what you seek, then check out all that Cape Harbour has to offer.

 

“Cape Harbour is the last of its kind, it is a brand new gated deep water yachting community with architectural controls to protect the select few who purchase here. Due to today’s environmental concerns it is unlikely that this kind development will ever be available again. I’ve searched up and down both coasts of Florida and no other community offers what we have here; deep water – you can dock you boat right at your back door; architectural controls – you are assured of how this community will look; and finally – we’re brand new. Everything in this luxury waterfront community is state of the art.”

                                                                                -Will Stout

 

 If you are searching for a community to fit your unique style, you will have plenty of fashionable building plans at your figure tips within Cape Harbour’s three waterfront enclaves:  Harbour Preserve, Harbour Pointe, the Marina at Cape Harbour and their, not yet built, newest residential neighborhood, the Funky Fish Houses. Find a home that fits your needs whether it is a 7,000 sq. ft. residential house, 4,000 sq. ft. condominium, or a Key West Style Beach cottage that extends 25 feet over the water all within a price range you and your family can afford*.

Cape Harbour residents will enjoy the luxury of taking advantage of great dining at Rumrunners, the Joint, Pignoli, Run Agrounds or a variety of other restaurants located at Cape Harbour. Whether you are shopping for a boat, something for the pooches, new art pieces or just need a new look for you or your home, you will find it all within a short distance of your gorgeous waterfront home. For all you boater’s, the Marina at Cape Harbour offers 76 deep water slips, a pump-out station, a sheltered harbor, fuel, indoor boat storage, bait and tackle shop, as well as boat sales and service. 

 

*Single family homes range from the mid $300,000 to $4 million and condos from $160,000 to $1 million for a penthouse view of the marina.
