To follow up on the new area south of SR 44 being developed. When I moved here in 2011, the first homes to go on the market south of 466A had open house August 2011. I went to the open houses, they have 5 homes on Braddy Ct. in the Village of Sanibel.
From 2011 to 2015 they built and sold 5,000 homes between 466A and SR 44. Brownwood Square opened in 2013. I was there for the first big event. It was Florida Lottery and the doo-whop group The Flamingos performed, I have a video on youtube. They estimated the crowd at 7,000, which is still one of the largest I've seen. At the time, the only food available was City Fire.
It's now six years later and Brownwood Square is still growing and finally reaching a potential. I think the area south of SR 44 is going to be a work-in-progress for the next ten years before restaurants, championship golf courses, squares, daily music, and eveything else comes to life.
