What happened?
WINK reports the old Silver Sands site on Fort Myers Beach could become a five-and-a-half-story, 60-room resort with a rooftop pool, penthouses, and Gulf views. The project is entering an approval phase this summer, with construction potentially starting in 2027 and reopening by late 2028. It is another marker that post-Ian redevelopment on the island is shifting from cleanup into bigger long-range reshaping.
