Known as the River District, the downtown area was built along the Caloosahatchee River during the mid-1800’s and still boasts much of the original Mediterranean Revival style common to that time period. With +1.6M sf of occupied office space, the River District is the center of many local, state and Federal government and court buildings and professional offices. Its activated historical buildings and authentic charm have made it the community hub for destination restaurants, boutique shops, art and culture events and community activities. Major downtown employers include the Federal, State and Local Court systems, Lee County and City of Fort Myers Government system, South Florida Water Management District, Fifth Third, Iberia, and SunTrust and Wells Fargo Bank, and numerous local and statewide law firms. The River District also features over 30 restaurants that offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. The area hosts more than 70 event-nights per year. The new $90MM, 225-room Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel and adjoining $14MM Harborside Event Center renovation project are both under construction and scheduled to open in the fall of 2020.
