Our research team just completed another market summary, this time for the Ft. Myers/Naples submarket. The research was conducted by phone and information was provided via Ft.

Ft. Myers/Naples, as any cartographer will tell you, is not in the Tampa Bay area. However, our curiosity was overwhelming and we had to know what was going on down there. The market is concessions heavy with a lot of 1-2 months of free rent being offered. Traffic was reported as very slow, however many communities reported that traffic was increasing.
