The St. Louis-based developer plans to create a 180-unit Drury Inn & Suites on the site. A spokesperson for the developer says it was drawn to the property because of the strong hotel market, access to the airport, and the nearby amenities, which includes Gulf Coast Town Center to the south. Commercial Electrical Systems has been selected to install the fire alarm system in this newest Fort Myers Hotel.
Drury Development and its sister company, Drury Hotel Co., which are both owned and operated by the Drury family, have only a single Drury Inn and Drury Inn & Suites in Florida.
