After much back and forth, Naples City Council narrowly approved a new mixed-use building downtown.
First approved by council in 2013, the larger planned development known as Naples Square, has continued to evolve at the corner of Fifth Avenue South and Goodlette-Frank Road.
The new three-story building, known as Encore, will include 15 luxury homes on two floors, with 6,825 square feet of retail and office spaces sitting underneath.
The commercial uses could include a small cafe.
The hearing ran for hours, with several council members raising concerns about the project’s impact on everything from roads to water drainage – and questioning whether it violated city rules.
In the end, council voted 4-3 in favor of the project Wednesday.
