Palmera on the River, a planned 239-unit multifamily community, was approved for an 18-month extension by the Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency Board of Commissioners. 

The 2-acre vacant lot, 2543 First St., was undeveloped for several decades. Since the site is within walking distance of the downtown River District, it remains one of the city’s most valuable properties, commissioner Liston Bochette said. 

The developer, Soho Sight LLC, was waiting for a building permit revision for construction of a new seawall before the project could move forward. Attorney Megan Strayhorn of Strayhorn, Persons-Mulicka and Fisher law firm, who represents the developer said a permit revision was approved by the city through written confirmation on March 17.
