CAPREIT Announces Acquisition of 800-Bed Coastal Village Student Apartment Community Near Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers

FORT MYERS, FL – CAPREIT, a fully integrated real estate operating company responsible for the ownership and management of more than $5 billion of multifamily assets, announced it has bought Coastal Village, a 200-home, 800-bed student housing community in south Fort Myers.
Situated at 19401 Skidmore Way, Coastal Village sits within a quick commute of Florida Gulf Coast University, a Division I college attended by approximately 16,000 students. CAPREIT’s acquisition of the off-campus community represents the company’s entry into the student housing sector.

Community amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, fire pit, resident lounge, coffee bar, private study spaces and an onsite fitness center.
