First Street Village

Fort Myers, FL

The First and Only Downtown Mixed-Use Community

First Street Village represents a resurgence of the cosmopolitan lifestyle--the embodiment of new urbanism, envisioned by renowned architect and urban planner Andres Duany, and embraced by the City of Fort Myers.

A Catalyst for Development

In June 2003, Cameratta Properties acquired a 12.5 acre parcel formerly known as Edison Ford Square. The site, situated between West First Street and McGregor Boulevard, is the last remaining parcel large enough to accommodate a supermarket, a necessary component of the Downtown Revitalization Plan.

Cameratta then partnered with Regency Centers, a national owner/retail operator and developer of grocery-anchored and community shopping centers, to create the city’s first mixed-use lifestyle center and residential property, First Street Village

Dedicated to the success of the city’s revitalization efforts, Cameratta, Regency Centers, the City of Fort Myers, Andres Duany, and a very specialized team of consultants spent nearly three years planning the project that is viewed as the catalyst for a rejuvenated downtown. First Street Village plans were approved by Fort Myers City Council in October 2005.

Today, Cameratta Properties is bringing the first and only mixed-use community to downtown Fort Myers and creating the finest lifestyle experience in the entire Southwest Florida region. First Street Village will offer 356 luxury residential condominiums, featuring city homes, flats, and lofts, with every indulgence just steps outside your front door.

First Street Village is expected to ignite an inferno of commercial investment in the downtown district bringing 38,000 square feet of divisible office space, 105,000 square feet of Class “A” retail space including a 39,000 square-foot Publix supermarket.

According to Robert McGarrity, Regency Centers’ Senior Manager of Investments, the redevelopment plan and First Street Village have been a driving force in construction and civic improvement projects and attraction to urban living in downtown Fort Myers.
