During a public hearing on Thursday, the Cape Coral City Council unanimously approved the Hudson Creek planned unit development, which encompasses a mixed-use area. This 1,732-acre development is located in northwest Cape Coral, positioned east of Burnt Store Road and north of Jacaranda Parkway.
The project will comprise up to 3,500 dwelling units, with 2,500 of these being single-family homes. Alongside the residential components, the development will feature 425,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 500 hotel rooms, and 150,000 square feet of office space.
Moreover, the site has been designated for a potential 800-bed assisted-living facility and a 3,000-student university, but no discussions have taken place with interested colleges or universities. The proposed schedule of uses serves as a guideline for permissible developments that can be established on the site.
Over the years, some sections of the site have been part of Cape Coral, while other portions were annexed into the city at different times.
The entire site remains undeveloped, with no existing roadway access and no utilities present.
A central spine road will be constructed through the development, with access from Burnt Store Road, Wilmington Parkway, Jacaranda Parkway, and Chiquita Boulevard. The neighborhood roads will feature sidewalks on both sides, and the spine road will have bike lanes on both sides as well. Click here for the entire article
