Fort Myers Naples, FL, October 27, 2026 —
A company owned by Cape Coral mayoral candidate Lisa Cohen-Adkinson, through Valor Commercial, pitched an unsolicited alternative development proposal for the Bimini East parcel after the city’s official deadline for proposals had passed.
The proposal, called South Cape Memorial Plaza, is now being discussed amid criticism of the recently approved Bimini East project, which is valued at $500 million. The available information does not identify the specific critics or detail their objections.
The timing places the alternative pitch outside the city’s stated Request for Proposals process deadline. The proposal is described as unsolicited; no details were provided about its design, proposed uses, financing, or whether it was formally submitted to city officials.
Information provided about the proposal does not say when it was pitched, how city officials responded, or whether it is under consideration. It also does not specify the terms of the city’s approval of the Bimini East project or identify the parties responsible for that approval.
The relationship between the proposal and the criticism of the approved project is described as a matter of current discussion. No further information was provided about whether the alternative proposal is intended to replace, modify, or otherwise affect the approved project. The contractor or development team for the approved project was not identified in the available details.
As a result, the known facts are limited to the company’s ownership, the proposal’s name and location, its unsolicited status, and its timing after the RFP deadline. Further details about the proposal, the city’s response, and the criticism of the $500 million project were not provided.
