Cape Coral
- the 8th largest city in tax-friendly Florida - offers plentiful opportunities for professional office and mixed-use development. At 120 square miles, this Southwest Florida city is the third largest by land mass in the state. With a consistently growing population of 200,000, Cape Coral is only halfway built out, so there’s plenty of space for new residential, retail, office/tech, industrial and mixed-used projects that will grow alongside the local consumer base.
An ideal, year-round climate, and competitive real estate and cost of living have drawn national attention. Forbes magazine reports that the Cape Coral metro area is among the top 10 fastest-growing cities in the nation for jobs and population (Moody’s Analytics, 2018).
The Sunshine State consistently ranks among the top 10 best states for its cost of doing business because there is no state income tax, and Florida offers a competitive workforce environment and streamlined, pro-business regulations. Corporate headquarter executives from the midwest to the northeast are increasingly choosing to expand their operations in Cape Coral. With so much to see and do, millennials are also discovering that our city is an ideal place to live, work and play. With a readily available and highly skilled workforce, Cape Coral is the right choice for your company expansion or relocation.
