Construction Duo to Break Ground on Estero Retail Center

GCG Construction and Abel Con­struction Company are preparing to break ground on Estero Oaks Retail Center, a new 14,000sf neighborhood retail development located at 9995 Estero Oaks Drive in South Fort Myers.

The project is being developed through a partnership between princi­pals of GCG Construction and Abel Construction Company and will be constructed on a 1.53-acre site within the larger 36-acre Estero Oaks mixed-use development. Designed to accom­modate restaurant, retail, medical and service-oriented tenants, the center will feature flexible suite sizes ranging from approximately 1,600 to 2,160 square feet.

One of the project’s most significant milestones is that all major development approvals have been secured, including the development order and building per­mits, allowing construction to commence immediately following closing.

The property is strategically located near Florida Gulf Coast University and within close proximity to expand­ing residential communities, health care providers and major employment centers. Existing and planned uses within the broader Estero Oaks development include multifamily residential, self-storage, con­venience retail and the Southwest Florida Proton Center, the Gulf Coast’s first proton beam therapy treatment facility.

Construction is expected to begin this summer, with leasing efforts currently underway.

Based in Fort Myers, GCG Con­struction, in partnership with Abel Con­struction, is a full-service construction management and general contracting firm delivering high-quality commercial, hospitality, and mixed-use projects across Florida. Visit GCGBuilds.com to learn more.
