Do you believe that events in downtown Fort Myers should be credited for business development?

I just read the article about Events credited for business development in downtown Fort Myers.  Read the article and share your thoughts with me.

I spoke to a business owner downtown this week and she loves the events downtown and she agrees with what Don Paight, the Downtown Community Redevelopment director, was quoted saying in the article.

"Events are a way of introducing people to the downtown area," 
Her only concern is parking and she is hopeful that the City Council approves the hotel partnership on December 1st because in their concept there is additional parking planned for downtown Fort Myers.

Several high rises in downtown Fort Myers also have opportunities to purchase additional parking spaces for their units. Buyers forget to negotiate an additional parking space with their purchase, call me if you are interested in a high rise in downtown Fort Myers and we can find the high rises that offer additional parking spaces. View listings of  Downtown Fort Myers High Rise Condos.

Do You Think Downtown Fort Myers Can Be Transformed Into an Entertainment District?

I just read the article about downtown Fort Myers needs more entertainment.  I wonder if you think entertainment in downtown Fort Myers could mean big bucks?  Read the article and share your thoughts with me.

A couple of years ago while I served as a board member for the River District Alliance I had the opportunity of sitting in and hearing Mr. Jim Peters, president of the Responsible Hospitality Institute, speak about expanding night life in downtown Fort Myers; then, the real estate market crashed and new projects and ideas were put on the back burner, but a lot has happened since then and downtown Fort Myers has had an amazing face-lift thanks to the City and its efforts to continue revitalizing the area.  View listings of Downtown Fort Myers High Rise Condos.

If you haven't visited downtown Fort Myers' River District lately you must at least attend one event this month. Fort Myers Downtown Saturday Art Fair; Art vendors will be on the sidewalk at prominent businesses on First Street starting at Jackson Street and ending at Dean Street. Start your holiday shopping early! November 15th from 11am to 5pm.  

Music Walk is held 3rd Friday of every month; next Music Walk will be on November 21st starting @7pm. Art Walk is held the 1st Friday of every month.  Next Art Walk will be held December 5th starting @6pm.

A New Condo HighRise in Downtown Fort Myers River District?

 I just read the latest news about possible new luxury condos in downtown Fort Myers' River District    This is great news for the health of Southwest Florida's real estate market and for the owners of  high-rises in downtown Fort Myers.

I was selling high-rise condos for a builder in downtown Fort Myers in mid 2004 and sold hundreds of them from 2004 to 2006; then, the real estate market crashed and halted all sales and closings.  A lot has happened since then and downtown Fort Myers has had an amazing face-lift thanks to the City and its efforts to continue revitalizing the area.  View Downtown Fort Myers High Rise Condos
