The City of Cape Coral is seeking proposals to redevelop the 22 acres of Bimini Basin East, which is surrounded by Cape Coral Parkway, Coronado Parkway, and Tarpon Court. It’s a major opportunity in the City’s growing South Cape Community Redevelopment Area.
Details about the property…
- Zoned Mixed-Use Bimini
- Max Density: 125 dwelling units per acre
- Max Height: 12 stories or 160 feet
- Prime Location: Over 51,000 daily vehicle trips; projected to reach 70,500 by 2045
- Saltwater access with boating to the Gulf
- Part of the South Cape CRA
- Served by City utilities
What the City is looking for…
- Mixed-use buildings with ground-floor retail and upper-level residential or hospitality uses
- Architectural styles and residential formats that reflect the evolving character and lifestyle appeal of the South Cape
- Public gathering areas, outdoor dining, and art-enhanced streetscapes
- Strong pedestrian connections to Bimini Basin, The Cove at 47th, and Bimini Square
The site offers potential views of the Bimini Basin and seamless proximity to Cape Coral’s 400-mile navigable canal system—one of the largest in the world. These canals connect through the Bimini Basin to the Caloosahatchee River and onward to the Gulf of America, providing exceptional opportunities for recreation and marine access. Proposals that thoughtfully integrate the adjacent city-owned Four Freedoms Park may further elevate the project by incorporating public waterfront elements, marine amenities, or view corridors.
Proposals will be accepted electronically until October 30, 2025, at 3 p.m. To submit a proposal, visit CapeCoral.ionwave.net.
