Pulte Homes and Cameratta Companies Form Joint Venture to Develop Community of 700 Single-Family Homes in Estero

Fort Myers, Fla. --- Pulte Homes and Cameratta Companies have formed a joint venture to develop a master-planned community of 700 single-family homes on a 722-acre site located three miles east of Interstate 75 on Corkscrew Rd. in Estero. Scott Mairn, vice president of sales and marketing for Pulte Homes in South Florida, said the site includes a 222-acre lake. Several of the homesites offer spectacular views of the lake along with natural wooded preserves, he said.   Land development at the site should start in the fall and the first new homes are projected to go on sale in early 2014. “The surrounding area includes many established master-planned communities and a wide selection of retail, restaurant, and entertainment venues, with excellent primary and higher education opportunities,” Mairn said. “The property is well served with easy access to I-75 and Southwest Florida International Airport, along with Germain Arena, Miromar Outlets, Gulf Coast Town Center, Coconut Point Shopping Mall, and Florida Gulf Coast University,” he added. Mairn said the development team has plans for a secluded community recreational amenity on a large peninsula along the northern side of the lake. This will be the second project involving Pulte Homes and Cameratta Companies, having successfully opened The Preserve at Corkscrew in Estero this past summer.
