SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:

Due to the continued population growth of the City of Cape Coral and to provide adequate services to its citizens, the City is expanding its office facilities to consolidate the Development Services and the Parks and Recreation staff in a centralized location on Santa Barbara Boulevard less than 1 mile north of Veteran’s Parkway.

 

The subject property is approximately 2.8 acres and consists of two buildings having a total gross building area of 34,843 square feet. The two-story building on the north was built in 2006 and has approximately 19,467 square feet. The one-story south building was built in 2013 and has approximately 15,376 square feet.

 

Staff submitted an initial offer of $3,450,000 to purchase the site. The Seller countered the City’s offer at $3,800,000 and remained firm through negotiations. In addition to the purchase price, the City will pay its pro rata share of the 2023 non-ad valorem fees associated with the property at closing.
