The Luminary Hotel is taking shape along the Fort Myers waterfront and plans to open August, 2020.

The president of the project says they’ll top out the 12-story building next month.

The $92 million project will include 243 rooms, dining, and a rooftop bar in the Marriott owned hotel.

But it doesn’t stop there.

The project also includes turning the city pier building into a restaurant with a patio and retail space, plus a huge makeover to the Harborside Event Center.

Joe Collier, president of Mainsail Lodging and Development says he sees it being a convention destination for people and businesses .

Collier says having this kind of downtown waterfront is real gem, and building it up will only bring great change.

All of the projects are expected to be completed by August 6, 2020 date, so not only the hotel, but the city pier building, and Harborside, all with new names.
