No change this week. I checked Lee County's Development Activity Projects map on Friday, October 23, and the Daniels Creek record (DOS2023-00140) still reads "Permitting" for a mixed-use planned development of 1,600 homes and up to 350,000 square feet of commercial space. The county's map data was last edited on October 5, so nothing new has been posted for this area since my last update.
I also looked for news from Lennar and in local press over the last two weeks and did not find any new announcement about Daniels Creek. Lennar has not published floor plans, prices or a sales date that I could find.
Next door: Gateway Marketplace and Creekside Marketplace
- Gateway Marketplace (DOS2024-00142), on the southwest corner of SR 82 and Daniels Parkway, is still listed as "Construction." The record includes a ±54,964 sq ft grocery store with shops (Publix, per Sembler's July announcement), a ±107,519 sq ft Home Depot with a ±28,113 sq ft garden center, and a 3,859 sq ft McDonald's with two drive-thru lanes.
- Creekside Marketplace (DOS2025-00174) is still at "Development Order": about 41.54 acres with a ±150,000 sq ft retail anchor (not named in the record), plus future medical office and outparcels.
What "Permitting" means for you
Permitting means the county is still reviewing plans. The site prep I photographed on October 11 (see First look at the Daniels Creek site) is early work on the land, not home construction. Model homes, plans and prices usually come later, and I'll post as soon as any of that is official.
What we still don't know
- Home prices, floor plans and lot sizes
- HOA and CDD fees
- When the sales center or models will open
- The name of the anchor store at Creekside Marketplace
Tip for buyers
When Lennar opens sales, the person at the sales center works for the builder. If you want your own agent at no extra cost to you, bring them (or register them) on your very first visit; many builders won't add an agent later. More in my guide: How to buy new construction in Fort Myers.
