Perhaps seeing what\u2019s going on with development on the island, TPI\u2019s Tom Torgerson has added a 5th floor to his proposal for the new Silver Sands. The resort was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in September of 2022 and eventually sold to TPI for $7.1 million.<\/p>\n

The original plan was to ask for 4 stories over parking and TPI will now be asking the town for 5 stories over parking (6 total floors). The original ask was for 46 units. The additional floor will allow TPI to add 14 suites and go to 60 total units. The zoning district the Silver Sands land is in allows for a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.5 FAR. Torgerson says they are at 1.95.<\/p>\n

Torgerson is hoping the project will go before the LPA in June and the Town Council in August, after their July Summer break. He\u2019ll be on Beach Talk Radio Saturday morning at 10:30 to discuss the proposal.

The property is directly across from Margaritaville\u2019s Fins Up Beach Club and is now being used for employee parking. It\u2019s also the property where the Lee County Sheriff\u2019s trailer sits. That trailer will eventually be moved to the empty Lee County owned property at the base of the bridge in front of Margaritaville that will be converted into a Golf Cart and bicycle parking lot next year.<\/p>\n

In 1983 the Silver Sands Resort was established as a condominium residential resort with a mix of patio residential dwellings and hotel units. Some of the structures date back to 1960. At some point in time one of the dwelling units was converted to a restaurant at the corner of Primo and Estero.<\/p>\n
