Lennar has bought 109 acres in Fort Myers, where it plans to build a new community with 515 houses.<\/p>\n
The property is at the intersection of Littleton Road, U.S. Highway 41 and N. Tamiami Trail. The homebuilder paid $20.08 million for it.<\/p>\n
According to a statement from Colliers, which represented Uniland Development Co., the community will be called Caloosa Commons and will include a mix of single-family houses and two-story townhouses. Prices will start in the mid-$200,000s.<\/p>\n
The community is expected to have an amenities package that includes a clubhouse, pool and bathhouse, pickleball courts and a \u201ctot lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lennar intends to break ground late this summer with home deliveries starting next spring.<\/p>\n
Colliers says that the land was originally purchased by Uniland in 2024 as part of a deal for 135 acres with frontage along N. Cleveland Avenue, Littleton Road and N. Tamiami Trail. It then secured the entitlements and began marketing the property to numerous homebuilders.<\/p>\n
Uniland paid $12.75 million for the full 135 acres.<\/p>\n
With Lennar buying the 109 acres, Colliers says Uniland intends to use the remaining 25 acres for a planned shallow-bay industrial development. Construction could begin early next year.<\/p>\n
The firm\u2019s Dan Miller and Dan Rockenstein represented Uniland in the transaction. Colliers will also oversee the leasing of the industrial project.<\/p>\n
