For many people, Fort Myers Beach is an escape from the hassles of day-to-day life. However, for those looking to make their vacation permanent, they may soon have options.
Paradise Isles will soon begin construction in North Fort Myers in the fourth quarter of 2021. While it got approval from the Lee County Commission, it is still awaiting permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Paradise Isles will feature an 18-hole golf course, as seen in this conceptual art
The mixed-use development will not only feature residences but also a golf course, restaurants, fitness center, and riverfront boardwalk. Estimates show that the project will cost anywhere from $600 million to $1 billion to complete.
The residences will comprise two 20-story multifamily units that have a riverside view. There will also be a 12-story tower with 100 units and three-story town homes. One of the biggest selling points is Paradise Isles’ golf course. The golf course will be fully refurbished to accommodate 18 holes.
Paradise Isles’ homes will have riverfront views
The goal of this project, per the North Fort Myers Neighbor, is to “put North Fort Myers on the map.” The Lee County town had over 39,000 people, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. Google Earth calls the town “an unincorporated area and census-designated space.”
Paradise Isles does not currently have a physical address. However, it will be located in Lee County, FL. The project was previously known as “Paradise Preserve.”

Here we are in the 4th quarter of 2021, and work on Paradise Isle is supposed to have started. When is the new date for work to start on this project?
I think that project was scrapped. Its taken too long to get the approvals and then to get all the permits will take another 2 years and the red hot market we have now is expected to correct or possibly crash if Feds raise rates too quickly. The Feds are talking about raising rates by early spring of 2022 to slow inflation and level off the housing market frenzy.
It is now January 2022 the 4th quarter of 2021 has passed for starting the project. Any new news for a projected date of the project to begin construction?
wondering if this is a legitimate website, they respond to nothing.
as of today January 5th 2022 Paradise Isles has not applied for any permits with the Army Corp of Engineers- according to the corps website showing permits activity.
as of today Feb 5th 2022 still not permit applied for by Paradise Isles. Probably the developer is planning to sell the property being they got Lee County approvals making it look like land value has significantly increased-just my opinion on what i think is going on.
Let’s see if we see any updates on this project in 2022.
anything happening with this project. Heard the marina received 6 months vacating orders for all boats to leave
It is now 1st quarter of 2024, what is the status of this project (Paradise Isles)? Boats in the marina have been vacating. Does this mean the project is still Active?
