Located at 2101 Jackson Street in Downtown Fort Myers, the Montage at Midtown project is slated for completion in 2025. The property will consist of a four-story apartment building, a five-story clubhouse, a six-story parking garage and five courtyards on roughly 5 acres. Its amenities will include a pool, a pet park, a spa, a coffee shop and barbeque areas. 

Joseph Bonora, president at Catalyst Asset Management, said, “At a time when it’s extremely challenging to obtain construction financing,” the firm was “fortunate” to work with a lender like Dwight that “recognized the qualities that make this project so compelling.”

Officials at Dwight did not immediately return a request for comment.
