Estero is in the middle of one of its busiest construction stretches in years. As your local Estero Realtor team, we keep a close eye on what's being approved, broken ground, and delivered across the village, because it directly affects home values, traffic patterns, and which neighborhoods will have new shopping, dining, and amenities nearby. Here's a roundup of the biggest projects underway right now.
Kingston: 10,000 homes east of Verdana Village
Cameratta Companies broke ground on Kingston in November 2025, with builders Lennar, Neal Communities, Pulte, Taylor Morrison, and Kolter Homes all on board. The approved plan calls for 10,000 homes, a 240-unit hotel, 700,000 square feet of commercial space, and a planned K-8 school, with over 3,200 acres set aside for conservation and restoration. Model homes are expected to open for viewing in late 2026, with first closings targeted for fall 2026.
Verdana Village: about 80% sold out
Lennar and Pulte continue building out this 2,400-home Cameratta community on East Corkscrew, with homes generally priced from the $500Ks to $1M. The West Village section is nearly sold out and its amenity center is open, while the East Village broke ground on construction in 2025. The Shoppes at Verdana Village, a Publix-anchored center with about 78,000 square feet of retail, opened just outside the gates in 2024 and now includes dining, banking, and medical services.
Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay
London Bay Development Group's two 22-story towers on Estero Bay have sold over 90% of the south tower's 224 total residences, which prompted the release of 112 additional waterfront units in the north tower. Construction secured $198.6 million in financing in October 2025, and the first tower is on track for early-2026 move-ins.
RiverCreek: down to its final 17 homesites
GL Homes' RiverCreek community is nearing sellout, with 459 of its 544 total homesites sold and just 17 remaining. Remaining infrastructure work is on track for completion in fall 2026, which will open up the last available homesites for building.
The Island at West Bay Club
Kolter Urban's 24-story, 86-unit luxury condo tower has moved past its fifth floor of construction as of January 2026, with completion targeted for the end of 2026.
Woodfield Estero at US 41 and Coconut Road
This 45.6-acre mixed-use project calls for roughly 600 residential units alongside 82,000 square feet of retail space and a 260-room hotel. Phase 1 infrastructure work is already underway.
What this means for buyers and sellers
With this much new inventory in the pipeline, buyers have more choices than they've had in years, but pricing, HOA structures, and delivery timelines vary widely between these communities. Sellers in established neighborhoods should also expect more competition from new construction, which can affect pricing strategy and days on market. As your local Estero Realtor, we track these projects closely and can walk you through how each one might affect your specific buying or selling plans.
