Owned and operated by the same leadership team, the new Fort Myers facility will allow the organization to bring individualized care to more families across the region.
“This location will allow Blue Horizon to make a significant impact in the community by serving students who benefit from tailored education and therapeutic support,” said Adam Palmer, CCIM, SIOR, Managing Principal at LQ Commercial. “We’re proud to be part of a transaction that will positively affect so many families in the area.”
“This space provides both the functionality and location Blue Horizon needs to grow their mission,” added Steve Wood, CCIM, Associate at LQ Commercial. “It’s always rewarding to help bring purpose-driven tenants like this into the local market.”
The new academy, which operates independently from the Lee County School System, will offer on-site services in a focused learning environment and will provide student pick-up from surrounding schools. The facility is expected to open in time for the 2025–2026 school year.
The lease transaction was facilitated by Adam Palmer, CCIM, SIOR, and Steve Wood, CCIM, of LQ Commercial, who represented the landlord, Metropolis FM LLC.
