1. 03/20/26Wetland • Side (interior) setback: 7ft
A site plan is under review for the Billy Creek Apartments project at 1455 Lockwood Drive in Fort Myers. This project proposes to develop 8.12 acres, currently used as the Fort Myers Cemetery, into a residential multifamily complex. The plan includes 96 dwelling units, with associated amenities like a clubhouse, playground, and a non-motorized watercraft dock. The proposed development area is 1.15 acres, with 1.87 acres for pavement and 0.29 acres for sidewalks. This project is in the planning stages, meaning contractors, suppliers, and service providers can engage early. The work would likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility installation for water and sewer, stormwater management, paving for roads and parking, building construction including framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and final landscaping. Early engagement offers an advantage before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized, allowing businesses to compete for work related to this new development.

1. A pedestrian bridge is proposed across the canal to provide internal pedestrian connectivity.
A pedestrian bridge is planned to cross a canal, offering internal pedestrian connections. The proposed design requires a clear-span structure, meaning it will have no piers, pilings, or other obstructions within the canal itself. This project is currently under review by the Planning Board. Construction would likely involve site preparation, foundation work, the installation of the bridge structure, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as general contracting, site preparation, concrete, structural steel, and landscaping may find opportunities. Engaging early in the process, before final plans and permits are issued, can provide a competitive advantage.
