On the land, Hole-Montes Inc. plans to develop a professional office park that includes its local headquarters. The company, which also has an office in Naples, will relocate its current Fort Myers location to the park. The park will be called Oak Hammock Office Park at Whiskey Creek.

Plans for the park, which have changed, currently call for three buildings totaling a little less than 28,000 sf. An 8,000-sf medical building is planned for the front of the park. In addition, a13,000-sf, two-story building is planned for the back of the park which will be mostly occupied by the park owner. A third building in the middle will total 4,670 sf.

One tenant, Gora McGahey Architects, has signed a lease for the middle building at the park. The firm is buying a pad site and building its own building, according to Paul A. Sands of Grubb & Ellis|VIP, who represented Hole-Montes Inc. in the land sale.

The park will be "very nice, upscale," says Sands, who estimates that it will take four to six months to get building permits and nine months to a year to build the park.

Tom Woodyard of ReMax Realty Group represented Phocas in the transaction.
