🌴 Coconut Point’s Major Makeover: A New Era for Estero, Florida

Coconut Point — one of Estero’s most popular lifestyle destinations — is entering a bold, two-year transformation. The project promises to elevate the experience for shoppers, diners, and residents across Southwest Florida.

This refresh will not only enhance Coconut Point’s visual appeal but also strengthen Estero’s standing as one of the most desirable areas for real estate investment, relocation, and lifestyle living in Lee County.


🏗️ A Two-Year Refresh for Coconut Point

The redesign will focus on creating a cleaner, more modern look while improving the visitor experience. Planned updates include:

  • Refreshed building facades and storefronts

  • Updated signage and lighting for better ambiance

  • Enhanced landscaping featuring tropical native plants

  • Redesigned walkways and gathering spaces for a more social and walkable environment

These upgrades align with Estero’s continued growth and help maintain Coconut Point’s reputation as one of the region’s premier retail and entertainment centers.


🛍️ New Shops and Restaurants Coming to Estero

Coconut Point’s redevelopment also welcomes several new stores and restaurants that add excitement to the local scene:

  • Nordstrom Rack opening soon in the former Christmas Tree Shops location

  • Real Seafood Co., offering waterfront dining in a spacious new layout

  • PJK Neighborhood Chinese, adding upscale Asian cuisine to the mix

  • UNTUCKitSunglass World, and Park Shores joining the retail lineup

The center has also launched a Kids Discovery Trail, offering family-friendly fun, prizes, and local engagement throughout the property.


💡 Why This Project Matters for Estero Real Estate

As a Southwest Florida Realtor®, I always pay attention to how local development impacts property values and lifestyle trends. Coconut Point’s investment sends a strong message of confidence in the community.

1. Rising Property Values

Major upgrades to high-traffic destinations often result in increased property values nearby. Buyers love proximity to walkable dining, shopping, and entertainment.

2. Growing Lifestyle Appeal

A refreshed Coconut Point adds even more charm to homes for sale in Estero, Bonita Springs, and Fort Myers, attracting both year-round residents and seasonal visitors.

3. Long-Term Economic Strength

When developers commit to projects like this, it signals ongoing confidence in Lee County’s economic growth, tourism, and housing stability.

4. Stronger Community Identity

Estero continues to position itself as one of Southwest Florida’s most vibrant and convenient communities — blending modern amenities with small-town warmth.
