Taking a look back at one of our projects from 1997, the City of Palms Parking Garage in Downtown Fort Myers!

This five-story, 187,000-square-foot precast concrete structure provides parking for 560 cars, along with 6,000 square feet of retail space at the street level.

When we designed the garage, we wanted it to be more than just a place to park. The design was created to fit into the surrounding urban environment, provide a pedestrian-friendly experience, and serve as a gateway into Downtown Fort Myers.

We incorporated retail storefronts, streetscape elements, lighting, signage, colors, and architectural details to help make the garage feel like a part of the community rather than simply a parking structure.

Nearly 30 years later, we're proud to look back at projects like this and see the lasting impact they’ve had on Downtown Fort Myers.

This update gives a look at where the project started, where it stands today, and the details coming together along the way.

Every building has a story, and sometimes, that story changes completely.

For this 12,000-square-foot Tenant Improvement in Punta Gorda, we helped transform a space formerly occupied by Muscle Car City into a new Goodwill retail location serving the local community.

Working within an existing structure, our team focused on adapting the space to meet Goodwill’s operational needs while creating a welcoming and functional environment for its customers and community.

It’s a great example of how thoughtful design can give an existing space a new purpose and a new chapter.
