Fort Myers Amazon-adjacent land sold for $7M for possible industrial project

A 21.38-acre parcel of land adjacent to where Amazon is building a massive fulfilment center in Fort Myers has sold. 

The property on Lighthard Knott Lane sold for $7 million to a Pennsylvania LLC. The sellers were Deborah Jo Wyatt-Stotter, Monte Chris Flint, Judy Flint and Milton Dallas Flint. 

The property is located in front of where Amazon has begun construction of a 3 million-square-foot center on 189 acres on State Road 82 near Interstate 75. 

Justin Thibaut, president and CEO of LSI Cos., says in an email that he expects to see a new industrial development on the just-purchased land with the “timing TBD.” 

Thibaut represented the buyer in the latest transaction. He also brokered the $66.5 million sale of 143 acres of the 189 acres near The Forum master planned community to Amazon last year. 

The center in the works will be the online retailer’s third in Lee County, but its first local robotics fulfillment center. Amazon says it will bring more than 1,000 full and part time jobs with the project. 

Work is expected to be complete by mid-2027. 

While LSI’s Thibaut represented the buyer, the firm’s Max Molloy, Alex Henderson and Sawyer Gregory along with Randy Henderson of Corbin Henderson Co. represent the sellers.
