With Southwest Florida home prices hampering efforts to recruit and retain top talent, Florida Gulf Coast University developed a blueprint for employee housing that’s below market price and conveniently close to campus.
Eagle View Village, the first community of its kind among Florida’s 12 state universities, is under construction about 2 miles north of campus on FGCU-owned land near the West Lake Village student housing complex and Gulf Coast Town Center. The project’s first phase of 74 units is scheduled for completion in December and for tenants to move in beginning in January 2027.
