The Place on First
Discovering your spot in the historic downtown Fort Myers River District
River District in downtown Fort Myers continues its resurgence. The Place on First project, a unique opportunity for luxury urban living in the heart of the historic River District, will locate at First Street and Jackson, destined to become an iconic Fort Myers landmark. The first true mixed-use building to be constructed downtown in a decade, the building is a masterpiece of design, blending historic references with modern elements to meet the demand for a chic urban lifestyle in Southwest Florida. “We are thrilled to provide what so many people have been waiting for in downtown Fort Myers, an authentic opportunity for upscale urban living,” the developer David Fry says. “Our vision for this project is to raise the bar for quality and style in an already highly desirable location.”
The Place on First will feature multiple restaurant and retail destinations, two floors of Class A office space and 16 luxury residences. The building fits right into the downtown landscape, and it is crowned with a ninth-floor Sky Deck, which is designed for resident enjoyment and special event opportunities. On the Sky Deck, spectacular river views set the stage for an amazing experience in this luxurious outdoor space.
At The Place on First, a select few homes are available on the building’s private residential floors, which are accessible by elevator or stairs, and include a covered parking space in the building’s first-floor garage. Building features include a splash pool, grill area, two hotel-style guest suites, bicycle storage, fitness studio, and state-of-the-art entry access. Luxury residences feature large, open-concept great rooms and open-air terraces that offer a view of the surrounding city. Ranging from 1,296 to 2,412 square feet, floor plans include The Edison, The Heitman, The Jackson and The McGregor. Aesthetic details lend an urban sensibility to the design and include exposed brick, polished concrete floors, 10foot windows and glass sliding doors, LED recessed can lighting, and quartz and granite countertops.
