History

Shopping mall company Simon Property Group began seeking approval to build a mall in Estero, Florida, in 1999. The company originally named their proposal Suncoast McArdle Mall before choosing the name Coconut Point by 2002. Simon's plans called for a 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) complex consisting of an outdoor mall, as well as adjacent big-box stores and hotel space. The company selected a site along US 41 south of the village of Estero. The company submitted approval to Lee County government officials in October 2002 after three years of preliminary studies.

The Coconut Point mall opened on November 10, 2006. The mall is managed by the Simon Property Group and was designed by Hollywood, CA studio, 5+design.
