PUNTA GORDA, Fla. (July 22, 2026) — SVN Commercial Partners is proud to announce the
successful sale of Fishermen’s Village, one of Southwest Florida’s most recognizable waterfront
destinations, to a local ownership group for 43 million dollars. The closing marks the successful
conclusion of a nearly three-year process that navigated historic hurricanes, market uncertainty,
and an extensive national marketing campaign before ultimately placing this landmark property
into local hands.
Originally brought to market prior to the devastating 2024 hurricane season, the sales process
evolved following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which significantly impacted Southwest Florida.
Rather than rushing to complete a transaction, SVNCP helped advise the Receivership to make the
strategic decision to better stabilize the property, support its tenants, and position Fishermen’s
Village for long-term success. Throughout the recovery, the Village not only regained its
momentum but achieved 100% retail occupancy.
“This transaction represents far more than the sale of a commercial property,” said Ashley Bloom,
Managing Partner of SVN Commercial Partners. “Fishermen’s Village has been a cornerstone of
Punta Gorda for decades. After overcoming two historic hurricanes, navigating a complex and
evolving asset, and conducting an extensive national marketing process, we are especially pleased
to have helped transition this iconic waterfront destination to a local ownership group that
understands its importance and is committed to its future.”
Corrie Gates, Director of SVN Commercial Partners, added, “The recovery of Fishermen’s Village
has been extraordinary. Achieving full occupancy after everything the property and community
experienced is a testament to the ownership, tenants, management team, and the loyalty of visitors
from across Southwest Florida. We are honored to have represented the seller throughout this
process and are excited to see the Village begin its next chapter under local ownership.”
The sale includes approximately 97,000 square feet of waterfront retail and office space, five
waterfront restaurants, 47 waterfront hotel suites, and a 142-slip marina. Throughout the marketing
process, SVN Commercial Partners generated interest from institutional investors, private equity
groups, family offices, regional developers, and local buyers before successfully facilitating the
sale to a local ownership group whose long-term vision aligned with preserving and enhancing
one of Florida’s most beloved waterfront destinations. The entire assignment was handled by
Ashley Bloom, Corrie Gates, Bryan J Myers and Donna Marrero Zaldivar of SVN Commercial
Partners over the course of three years.
The successful closing reflects continued confidence in the Punta Gorda market and in the long-
term strength of destination waterfront real estate. Under new local ownership, Fishermen’s Village
is well positioned to build upon its legacy while continuing to serve residents, visitors, boaters,
retailers, and the broader Southwest Florida community for generations to come.
