In just a few weeks, you’ll start to see construction on a lot in North Fort Myers off of Cleveland Avenue and Littleton Road. The lots will be the home of 160 new multi-family units for anyone 62 and older.
It’s called Hermosa, being built by ReVital Development Group, specializing in affordable housing.
“Specifically the demographic was seniors with the preference for veterans,” said Michael Allan, president of the development company.
Watch below to see some of the renderings of the complex, as reported by Senior Reporter Kaitlin Knapp:

He said the decision to make it for seniors only came from the need in this area based on Census data and other information gathered from multiple sources.
“It’s close proximity to the VA Hospital and surrounding demographics and income as well,” Allan said.
The units will be one or two bedrooms with a pool, clubhouse and more.
“All of the units are going to be no more than 60% of the area median income,” Allan said.
