October 30, 2015

Bonita Springs, FL – A groundbreaking ceremony for Diamond Oaks Village – a brand new apartment community for active, independent adults 55 and up – will be held on Friday, November 13 at 10:00AM at 24080 S. Tamiami Trail in Bonita Springs. To kick-off construction, the tear down of “The Ship” will begin immediately following the groundbreaking. City of Bonita Springs Mayor Ben Nelson and Deputy Mayor Stephen McIntosh are both scheduled to speak at the ceremony. Other elected officials and members of the surrounding communities will also be in attendance.

Located in a prime location on Route 41, Diamond Oaks Village will be anchored behind where the city’s iconic ship landmark stood for many years.
