Target plans new store in growing eastern Lee County

Target has secured land in eastern Lee County for a new store. Property records show Target Corp. purchased a nearly 21-acre site on the doorstep of Lehigh Acres, along the high-growth State Road 82 and Daniels Parkway corridor. The deal closed on Oct. 28. The price was $9 million for a future location at Creekside Marketplace, one of two shopping centers planned by The Sembler Company, based in St. Petersburg, Florida, in the same booming area. The dual retail centers are near the sister Timber Creek and Daniels Creek communities developed by Lennar, which will have a little over 2,900 homes. "The project represents a vital retail milestone for the rapidly expanding submarket bridging unincorporated Lee County and the western edge of Lehigh Acres. Positioned near the strategic convergence of State Road 82 and Daniels Parkway/Gunnery Road, Creekside Marketplace is designed to address the immense residential influx and rooftop growth that has surged across the corridor in recent years," said Paige Rausch, a commercial real estate and land analyst at Aslan Realty Advisors in Fort Myers. Situated on about 41 acres, Creekside is a planned 250,000-square-foot retail and medical-office destination with 11 outparcels. The planned development reflects Sembler’s longstanding approach:

My neighborhood is not your hotel

Why do we have residential zoning if a house in a quiet neighborhood can become a commercial lodging business?. People buy homes in Cape Coral to live, raise families, and enjoy some peace. Yet an absentee owner can buy the house next door and rent it to a revolving door of vacationers. Some guests are considerate. Others party until 2 a.m., leave dogs barking, and depart before the neighbors recover a decent night’s sleep.
