When David Fry bought a vacant lot in downtown Fort Myers in 2012, he wasn’t thinking about a $15.75 million development project – he just wanted to live downtown.
“A vacant lot on First Street was unique,” said the former WCI CEO who traded corporate real estate development to follow his building muse under the trade name Dwell Florida: ‘Cool Homes for Cool People.’
What evolved was The Place on First: a multi-use building of retail and restaurants, offices and upper story condos topped by a sky deck, that’s being hailed as very cool, indeed.
