GMA Architects & Planners completes designs for Cali Coffee in Cape Coral

GMA Architects & Planners has unveiled its initial architectural designs for Cali Coffee and an adjacent tenant space planned in Cape Coral. The design is one of the first locations for Cali Coffee planned in the area.

The building, planned at 942 Pine Island Road, is a single-story, 3,900-square-foot building, with space for one or two additional tenants.

The site has been planned by Avalon Engineering, and construction by GCG Construction is expected to begin in early 2025.

The architectural design by GMA aims to create a dynamic contrast between modern and classic aesthetics.

The first primarily drive-through-based flagship Cali Coffee was built in Hollywood, Fla., in 2017. Most locations currently are on Florida’s east coast, but additional locations are planned in Cape Coral, Bonita Springs and Fort Myers.

Since 1981, GMA Architects has been one of Southwest Florida’s leading architectural design firms. The local firm has provided award-winning architectural and interior design services for a broad range of clients in the public and private sectors, including several leading area developers.
