The Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board has recommended an 18-month extension for The Irving Downtown apartment complex in downtown Fort Myers, pushing the start-of-construction date to May 31 and completion date to December 31, 2025. The 12-story, 98-unit complex, located in the historic River District, was granted a $4 million tax increment rebate by the CRA Board of Commissioners in 2021 and will feature one- and two-bedroom apartments with amenities. The request for extension is due to delays in converting concrete poles and hanging wires to underground utilities. Developer Rebekah Barney has expressed concerns about mobilizing for construction without a clear timeline for the utility conversion. The extension recommendation will be presented to the CRA commissioners for consideration.
