Alico files development application for two villages in Collier County

Alico (ALCO) announced a major milestone in its strategic transformation with the filing of a development application for the first of two villages in what will ultimately be a 3,000-acre-master-planned community in northwest Collier County. There will be an additional 6,000 acres of land in Collier County that Alico will set aside for permanent conservation, highlighting Alico’s commitment to balanced development and environmental stewardship. The application referred to as “Corkscrew Grove Villages”, represents a key component in the implementation of the Collier County Rural Land Stewardship Area and demonstrates meaningful progress in Alico’s strategy to unlock significant value from its land holdings. The development plan envisions two distinct 1,500-acre mixed-use villages, known as “Corkscrew Grove East Village” and “Corkscrew Grove West Village”, that will create a new residential and commercial hub near the intersection of Collier, Lee and Hendry counties. Initial development is planned to begin with Corkscrew Grove East Village and construction is expected to commence following completion of all required permits by 2028 or 2029.
