Fort Meyers' 32-Story Single-Family Home
3 August 2009 - 8:00am
With a 32-story tower occupied only part-time by a single family, America's real estate bust may be most apparent in Fort Meyers.
"The Vangelakos' southwest Florida condominium has marble floors, a large pool overlooking a river and modern furnishings that speak of affluence and luxury. What they don't have in the 32-story building is a single neighbor.
The New Jersey family of five purchased their unit four years ago, when Fort Myers was in the midst of a housing boom and any hints of an impending financial crisis were buried in lofty dreams of expansion and development."
