Growth Market
In July 2024, Brook Farm Group closed on financing for the Sinclair at Palm Pointe, a 265-unit Class A, multifamily development in Fort Myers, Florida. The Project will be developed in partnership with Rail Gauge Partners, LLC, an Atlanta-based developer.
The development is centrally located with direct access to downtown Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach and easy commutability to the Cape Coral and Estero markets. The city of Fort Myers has experienced 43% population growth since 2010. The property is in Lee County, which has recorded the highest job growth rate of all Florida MSAs during the past year, adding nearly 12,000 jobs, according to data from Florida Commerce.
The Project activates vacant land adjacent to the Palm Pointe Shoppes retail center at US-41 and Trailwinds Drive, making the combined site a mixed-use community, walkable to attractive neighborhood retail.
The site was acquired from a partnership that had previously entitled the land. This will compress the execution timeline, enabling the development team to deliver first units in early 2026 when Brook Farm Group anticipates new unit deliveries to be well below recent levels.
The Sinclair will be developed as two, four-story buildings with elevator service, a 3,800-square-foot clubhouse, a two-level fitness center, up to 2,200 square feet of coworking space, a resort-style pool, a dog park, and outdoor fireplaces. The community will include studio, one, two and three-bedroom units, ranging from 650 to 1,369 square feet. The Project will offer convenient access to Lee Health, a top-rated healthcare system and the largest employer in Southwest Florida. Renters will have immediate access to adjacent retail amenities in the Palm Pointe Shoppes retail center including Starbucks, Dunkin’, Zaxby’s, FedEx, and others, as well as signalized access to US-41. Larger retailers such as Target, Sam’s Club, Trader Joes, and Publix are within a few miles of the site.
