Repairs are underway at Boca Vista Harbor’s five condominium buildings in Placida damaged by Hurricane Ian about 20 months ago.
The five-story complex built in 2005 was ravaged by the storm’s high winds that damaged the buildings’ stucco, soffit, fascia, gutters, standing seam roof, deco shutters, vents, paint and caulking.
Seagate Development Group is the contractor for the $3.6 million repair and renovation project, which began in May, Seagate officials said.
The 100-unit complex remains occupied and sits at the foot of the Boca Grande Causeway near the mouth of Charlotte Harbor.
Estimated completion of the repairs is targeted for early 2025.
Seagate has subsequent phases of work in the planning process, including hardening the buildings against future storms and ensuring watertight integrity to prevent water intrusion, across all five buildings.
Also, some miscellaneous repairs related to the age of the buildings are being conducted.
“We are honored to spearhead the Boca Vista Harbor project and help restore and enhance this cherished community,” Seagate CEO Matt Price said. “This project underscores our commitment to delivering excellence and best-in-class results for our clients.”
Established in 2015, Fort Myers-based Seagate is a contractor/developer with 300 employees and more than $2.5 billion in development projects and $400 million in current construction contracts.
