The Winslow expected to open by late summer
A project that broke ground a year ago in North Fort Myers is set to open late this summer, offering 320 units in an upscale rental community called The Winslow.
The project, which broke ground in March 2024, has reached the “topped off” point of construction and the developers are looking forward to their introduction of contemporary residences to what they say is a rapidly developing neighborhood that is close to downtown Fort Myers.
“Reaching this milestone in the construction of this exceptional rental community is a significant achievement for our team and a testament to our commitment to delivering high-quality, amenity-rich communities that meet the growing demand for housing across Florida,” said Camilo Miguel, Jr., CEO and Founder of Mast Capital in a prepared statement. “As we approach the final stages of this project, we are excited to offer residents in the North Fort Myers area a vibrant and highly designed residential community in one of Southwest Florida’s most dynamic neighborhoods. We look forward to welcoming our first residents by late summer and contributing to the continued economic growth and development of Fort Myers.”
Jordan Kornberg, chief investment officer at Mast Capital, said they saw the growth in the area and an opportunity to deliver quality housing that is in demand and fill a need in the market.
“I think for us it is very clear that the jobs are moving into the market and it’s very clear that this location has great proximity to downtown,” Kornberg said.
The construction for the project is led by general contractor Kaufman Lynn and will feature a garden-style residential community of three- and four-story apartment buildings at 13370 Magnolia Oak Circle.
The rental housing includes 116 units for affordable housing; the rest will be market rate.
He said the project is in an area of the county that has a Revitalization Pilot Program.
“That is exciting and interesting,” Kornberg said. “In terms of Mast, we are hoping this is the first of many projects for us in Southwest Florida.”
The project, designed by Humphrey’s & Partners Architects, will feature modern apartments.
Units have high end finishings such as quartz countertops, vinyl plank floorings, full- size washer and dryer and stainless steel appliances. Bathroom will have backlit mirrors and soaking tubs. There are also large balconies.
An abundance of amenities will also be offered.
“The amenities create senses of place more than a unit to live in – a real community that has an experiential component,” Kornberg said.
There will be a full-service fitness center, resident lounge, a large entertainment kitchen, marketplace, a dog spa, and a dedicated workspace for people who work remotely and want something out of their unit. A resort style pool with sundeck cabanas, fireplaces and grill stations, dog park and activity and fitness lawns.
“All the amenities will create a great sense of place and engaging community atmosphere,” he said.
Mast Capital is a real estate investment and development firm that does residential and hospitality projects primarily across the state of Florida. The company has $4 billion in total capitalization with 4,000 units from Miami to Palm Beach County, down to the Keys and up into Fort Myers and Tampa.
