High Point Place Waterfront Luxury Condos blog is born

Hello world it’s Cheryl!  I am going to do my best to keep you up to date on the latest High Point Place news, as well as, anything new and exciting going on in The River District of downtown Fort Myers!  I have been involved with the waterfront High Point Place luxury condos since the first shovel went in the ground way back when September 2004. 

March 2005

I have lived downtown Fort Myers since January 2005 and have seen a lot of changes over the past 7 years.  Cameratta Companies has been one of the pioneers in the redevelopment of downtown Fort Myers with High Point Place opening for occupancy the end of 2006.  Currently, High Point Place is over 80% SOLD OUT and well occupied with permanent and part time residents. 

January 2008

High Point Place is now the most desirable downtown adress with its premiere location across from First Street Village and Publix Supermarket, next to Legacy Harbour Marina and walking distance to The Edison and Ford Winter Estates, Centennial Park, Harborside Convention Center, Art Walk, Music Walk, and all of the downtown shops and restaurants.  Stay tuned for fun facts, sales updates, and River District news and events…
