This 6.8± acre development site at 20161 Summerlin Road presents a rare opportunity to acquire commercially zoned land positioned along one of the primary corridors serving the gateway to Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Fort Myers Beach, and the surrounding coastal communities. Zoned CT (Commercial Tourist), the property offers flexibility for a broad range of development concepts including hospitality, retail, multifamily, senior housing, medical-related uses, and other commercial projects permitted by zoning.
The site was previously approved through site plan and Development Order processes for a 142-bed assisted living facility, with architectural and engineering plans reportedly prepared and permit-ready. While that entitlement path remains available, the property's zoning and location support alternative development strategies that can capitalize on the area's continued residential, tourism, and healthcare activity.
The surrounding corridor features established national retailers, restaurants, lodging options, and regional destinations that generate year-round traffic and consumer demand. The recently developed Larsen Health Center, a major healthcare facility located nearby, adds a significant institutional presence to the market. Further strengthening the area's long-term outlook, the former Sanibel Outlets property across the street is being redeveloped as Calusa Grande, a mixed-use project planned to include residential units, retail, office, hospitality, and community-oriented amenities.
With strong visibility, established infrastructure, and proximity to some of Southwest Florida's most recognized coastal destinations, this site offers developers and investors the opportunity to pursue a variety of commercial or residential-oriented projects in a highly active corridor.
