Morris-Depew is proud to highlight our role in the Legacy 5000 project, developed by Geis Companies, bringing to life two buildings totaling 500,000 SF of flex industrial space, located near the fast-developing Alico Rd Corridor.Our expertise in site design, permitting, surveying, engineering, planning, and landscape architecture played a pivotal role in creating and executing a cohesive development strategy that included zoning enhancements, expedited tenant occupation, tenant flexibility and improved site marketability.
Morris-Depew is thrilled to showcase our involvement in the Pepsi Distribution Center project at Premier Airport Park off Alico, a future-forward facility serving as a model for their facilities nation-wide with cutting-edge technology and electric charging stations for delivery trucks. In collaboration with Lee County Economic Development Office, our team expedited site design and permitting utilizing a coordinated and strategic approach in concert with the developer, architect, contractor, and Lee County that enabled the project roadways, utility extensions supporting the 187,000 SF facility that accommodates 180 employees and distribution operations to be delivered on time to meet an aggressive schedule.
To return a spotlight our ongoing work with the Bear Creek project, nestled along the picturesque and rapidly developing area of Freeport, Florida located in the Emerald Coast renowned for its destinations like Scenic Highway 30-A and the Beaches of South Walton. Having successfully completed Phase III A in 2023 with 91 lots amid challenges presented during the COVID pandemic we have turned our sights on Phases III C & D which, when completed in early 2025 will deliver another 97 lots and a sports and recreation amenity with a large swimming pool and pickleball courts. Our continuing comprehensive suite of services on the Bear Creek project include conceptual site planning, Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture design and permitting combined with strategic phasing designed to work around ACOE and FEMA approvals to maximize construction efficiency and the delivery of homesites to the developer.
Morris-Depew is excited to contribute to the transformation of northern Cape Coral through the Coral Lakes project which is a unique multifamily residential development on 34 acres located on Del Prado Blvd. Tasked with navigating complex land use and zoning challenges, our team was successful in receiving approval from the City Council to amend the commercial land use designation to multifamily and transition the project from an outdated Planned Development Project (PDP) zoning to the contemporary Planned Unit Development (PUD) designation. This effort included severing old agreements and establishing new Land Development Code standards in collaboration with the City of Cape Coral, a process spearheaded by our dedicated team over two years. These actions have paved the way for development of a unique multi-family residential community, a housing product which is in high demand within what is currently a predominantly single-family residential locale. As we embark on the engineering and permitting phase this project stands as a testament to our ability to innovate within ever-changing and complex regulatory frameworks.
Morris-Depew is thrilled to showcase our involvement with the Margaritaville project on Fort Myers Beach, a testament to resilience and vision post-Hurricane Ian. We were closely involved in the approval of the Commercial Planned Development and have carried the project through site design and permitting. Our role in landscaping harmoniously blends native vegetation with the vibrant, tropical ambiance synonymous with Margaritaville Brand, creating inviting spaces from dune-adorned terraces to a welcoming pool area designed for relaxation and enjoyment. This project not only signifies a major development emerging post-Ian but also underscores our commitment to fulfilling promises, as highlighted by the remarkable alignment of our marketing visuals with the outcome.
