996 San Carlos Ct, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931
Listing Price: $4,300,000
Investment Overview
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present, the “Fort Myers Beach Development Site” offering, which includes three contiguous parcels totaling approximately 1.51 acres ( 65,857 square feet) of commercial land (zoned C-1) and, located at 996 and 992 San Carlos Court and 19030 San Carlos Boulevard on San Carlos Island—the main access point to Fort Myers Beach. The site features direct frontage along San Carlos Boulevard, a high-traffic corridor with over 32,000 average daily vehicles, making it one of the most visible and strategic commercial locations in the region.
Zoned C-1 Commercial (Lee County), the property allows for a wide variety of high-value uses including hotels and motels, restaurants and bars, marinas, waterfront retail, professional office, and mixed-use commercial. This zoning flexibility creates multiple avenues for development, allowing a developer to pursue a hospitality use, a marina or charter-related operation, a destination restaurant, or a mixed-use project with commercial and retail components. Infrastructure is in place, and there are no known environmental or wetland constraints affecting development.
The property also benefits from fully approved site plans for a 67-key hotel, offering an immediate path to development for a boutique or flagged hotel concept. The entitlements reduce development risk and timeline, allowing a buyer to move quickly in a market that is actively recovering and underbuilt for quality hospitality product. The location, visibility, and zoning make this an ideal site for hotel operators, developers, or investors seeking to capitalize on one of Southwest Florida’s most dynamic coastal markets.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a development-ready site with entitlements, strong traffic flow, and prime positioning within the core of Fort Myers Beach’s revival corridor. Surrounded by catalytic developments and driven by long-term tourism fundamentals, the property offers significant upside for a range of commercial strategies
