Edison Grand Apartments

Edison Grand Apartments (EG), located along the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers, Florida, represents a remarkable example of redevelopment. Originally the Amtel Ambassador Hotel and Casino, the property had been vacant for nearly a decade. In 2015, it was converted into an independent living community for seniors aged 55 and older. In 2021, Westside Capital took ownership and completely transformed the property into the mixed-use residential community known today as Edison Grand.

A Comprehensive Renovation for Modern Living

Westside Capital Group revamped the property, turning it into a luxury highrise that now houses 327 one—and two-bedroom apartments. These units are sleek, well-appointed, and feature high-quality finishes. Edison Grand's prime location in the Historic River District area, close to Downtown Fort Myers, ensures residents have easy access to major thoroughfares like US-41 and MLK Jr Blvd. This location offers convenience for work, retail, dining, and entertainment, making Edison Grand a luxurious and practical living space.

Living in Harmony with Nature and Urban Life

Edison Grand offers residents access to Fort Myers' vibrant culture, including a thriving culinary scene with seafood and international cuisines. The property is situated along the Caloosahatchee River and provides water sports, hiking, and golfing opportunities. Residents enjoy stunning views of the river’s yacht club, the Edison Bridge, and the surrounding neighborhoods, creating a strong sense of community and connection.

Revitalizing a Historic Space for the Future

When the property opened as Campo Felice in September 2017, it was approved for a tax rebate of up to $9,726,407 over 19 years to help revitalize abandoned structures and increase living spaces. Since Westside Capital acquired the property in 2021, Edison Grand has undergone a significant transformation, with an expanded vision to provide luxurious, modern living.

Approximately 70% of the original structure was replaced with high-quality materials suitable for its waterfront location. The property is now marketed as a premier luxury community offering everything needed for a comfortable Florida lifestyle. Edison Grand also includes mixed-use opportunities for retail, office space, cafes, salons, restaurants, and bars, along with a parking garage that accommodates over 500 spaces for tenants, visitors, and shoppers.

The apartments also feature porcelain wood-grain tile floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, offering expansive skyline and river views. Ample natural light flows throughout the units, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. Edison Grand is a pet-friendly community with an onsite dog park for residents’ pets.
