ONE Fort Myers Construction Update Reaches the Ninth Floor as Sales Momentum Accelerates
ONE Fort Myers Reaches the Ninth Floor More Than $3.5 Million in New Contracts in Two Weeks
ONE Fort Myers is no longer simply a rendering or a future concept. The tower is visibly rising along the Caloosahatchee River, and recent contract activity shows that buyers are responding to the progress.
Construction has now reached the ninth floor. More than $3.5 million in new contracts have been secured in the past two weeks, and approximately half of the building’s 34 residences are already spoken for.
Completion is still currently targeted for Q4 2027.
The ninth-floor pour is more than another construction milestone. It changes how prospective buyers experience the development.
Earlier in the process, buyers were making decisions primarily from renderings, floor plans, and the broader vision for Downtown Fort Myers. Now, the height and scale of the building are becoming tangible. Buyers can see how ONE sits along the river, how the tower relates to the surrounding River District, and how the view corridors begin to open as the building rises.
Each additional floor also brings the project closer to top-off, completion, and the next stage of pricing.
More than $3.5 million in new contracts have been secured at ONE Fort Myers over the past two weeks alone.
That level of activity reflects growing buyer confidence as the construction becomes more visible, the amount of remaining inventory declines, and buyers compare ONE with significantly higher-priced luxury waterfront developments elsewhere in Southwest Florida.
Once a particular layout, floor, or view corridor is secured, there may not be another comparable option available in the building. That scarcity matters more with every new contract.
Several additional price increases are expected before ONE Fort Myers reaches the roof later this year.
This is common in preconstruction real estate. Developers typically adjust pricing as construction progresses, sales milestones are reached, and fewer residences remain available.
The current opportunity is to secure today’s pricing before the next planned increases take effect.
Future appreciation can never be guaranteed. The potential advantage comes from securing a contract price before comparable remaining inventory is repriced higher as the project advances.

ONE Fort Myers is currently targeting completion in Q4 2027, although the final delivery date is not guaranteed.
For many buyers, that timeline provides time to sell another property, reposition investments, arrange financing, or prepare for a future move to Southwest Florida.
Buyers should generally plan for a total of 30% in phased deposits during construction, with the remaining balance due at closing. Exact deposit dates and obligations are governed by the applicable purchase agreement.
Buyers are moving forward now because the building is visibly rising, the available inventory is becoming more limited, and additional price increases are expected.
ONE is also intentionally boutique. With only 34 residences, private elevator entry, direct river views, and a location in the heart of Downtown Fort Myers, the project offers a level of exclusivity that is difficult to reproduce.
Waiting may mean paying more after the next price increase, losing access to a preferred floor plan, or having fewer elevations and view corridors from which to choose.
