CAPE CORAL, Fla., Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Thompson Thrift, a full-service nationally recognized real estate company, announced today the sale of two fully leased multi-tenant retail buildings at Cape Coral Commons in Cape Coral. An independent buyer from California purchased the buildings for an undisclosed amount.
“Cape Coral Commons sits at one of the key intersections in one of the country’s fastest growing cities,” said Ryan Menard, vice president of development for Thompson Thrift Commercial. “We are pleased to have completed a successful sale in such a high-traffic area.”
Located at the northwest corner of Del Prado Boulevard and Pine Island Road, Cape Coral Commons spans approximately 13 acres and consists of three 12,000-square-foot, multi-tenant buildings and four 1- to 2-acre outlot parcels. First Watch, Mission BBQ, Firehouse Subs, Tire Kingdom, Paragon Healthcare, Crumbl Cookies, PJ’s Coffee and Visionworks are all open. Encore Nails & Spa and Love Boat Ice Cream will be opening soon.
The remaining multi-tenant building is under construction and Thompson Thrift has commitments or leases for 75% of the shop space.

On a daily average, more than 47,000 cars travel Pine Island Road, with a similar number of vehicles traveling along Del Prado Boulevard.
Stretching along the Gulf of Mexico immediately northwest of Fort Myers, Cape Coral has experienced explosive growth over the past five years, making notable gains in the 18-24 age group.

The economy in Cape Coral is supported by health care, retail and real estate/construction services, with the city’s top five employers including Lee Memorial Hospital, Lee County School System, Publix Supermarkets, City of Cape Coral and Walmart.

Flix combines the latest Hollywood productions, award-winning, brewed on-premises craft beer and delicious food – all served “in theater,” to guests in their luxury dining recliners. The genesis of the Flix concept stems directly from consumer demand for a better, more value-oriented way to watch a movie.
