A much-anticipated development set to arrive in Cape Coral in 2024 has named an anchor tenant in a popular local restaurant that will feature a rooftop bar.

Flaherty & Collins Properties, the developers for The Cove at 47th, have announced Aqua Seafood and Steaks as the anchor tenant for the luxury apartment complex that is set for the South Cape.

Aqua Seafood and Steaks opened its first location on Fifth Avenue in Naples in 201. A sister location opened in 2022 and another is planned to open in Naples in spring of 2024.

“The owners of Aqua have a track record of running a great restaurant and they serve high quality food,” said Brian Prince, Flaherty & Collins vice president of Development and lead on The Cove. “We felt that their clientele and our target demographic was a good match. We will be announcing more retail tenants in the next month.”

Prince added that in Cape Coral, “Aqua will have an outdoor roof top terrace with bar overlooking Cape Coral parkway, they will also have live music, we hope this becomes a gathering place for all looking for great food and atmosphere.”

Aqua Seafood and Steaks is “renowned for its commitment to excellence,” according to developers, “making it a fitting addition to the development.” Occupying 5,000 square feet on the first floor, complete with a 2,000- square-foot rooftop bar, Aqua Seafood and Steaks will play a pivotal role in establishing The Cove at 47th as a premier culinary and lifestyle destination in Southwest Florida.

“We are extremely excited for the opening of Aqua Seafood and Steaks at The Cove,” said Goran Stojkoski, owner of Aqua Seafood and Steaks, in a release. “We have it all — lunch, exceptional happy hour, dinner, late-night libations, live entertainment seven days a week, outdoor dining, rooftop bar, fresh local, and from around the world fish and seafood, prime steaks and Wagyu, extensive wine list with a Wine Spectator award.”

The Cove at 47th is a mixed-use multifamily project comprising 327 units, 19,000 square feet of retail space, and an approximately 600-space garage.

Pre-leasing for The Cove at 47th is scheduled to commence in February 2024, coinciding with the opening of the leasing office. The first units will be ready for move-ins by late summer 2024. Aqua Seafood and Steaks, alongside other retail establishments, are expected to open their doors in the winter of 2024, culminating in the completion of the entire project by January 2025.
