The Coconut Point Mall - One Year Later

The Coconut Point Mall turned one year old over this last weekend and as everyone here in Southwest Florida knows well, it has become a treasure for the residents of Estero and Bonita Springs.

The 500 acre open air mall now includes over 130 stores, shops, and restaurants combined with living and office spaces in an aesthetically pleasing community setting. Visitors stroll down Fashion Drive at their leisure taking advantage of the eclectic mix of offerings. From coffee shops and book stores, restaurants, boutique shops and mass merchandisers, there's something for everyone at the Coconut Point Mall. Throw in the monthly jazz concerts, art shows, and the Movieplex and it's easy to understand why the mall attracts families like crazy and has become a boon for the community.

While construction continues, almost all of the 1.2 million square feet of retail space is filled and the new Target should open sometime in March. The same is true for office space and the new art studio/condominium complex, Rappalo at Coconut Point, which has sold almost 200 of its 290 scheduled units. Considering many residents had initial reservations about its location, the mall is a wonderful development and shows that with careful planning, a dedicated developer (Simon Malls), and a beautiful project design, things can happen the right way.
