FORT MYERS BEACH, Fla. - s4story -- Stevens Construction has completed construction of The Beach Bar, located at 1668 I St. on Fort Myers Beach, announced Dan Adams, vice president/principal, Stevens Construction, Inc.

Starting construction in October 2024, The Beach Bar was rebuilt with a focus on resilience after Hurricane Ian destroyed the original structure in 2022. With a 6,133-square-foot footprint, the three-story design incorporates durable materials such as simulated stucco siding and trim, composite soffits and a standing seam metal roof for greater longevity and storm resistance. The Beach Bar exterior includes yellow Bahama shutters to complement its logo.

"We are thrilled to bring this beloved destination back to the Fort Myers Beach community! As the first project on the island to be fully rebuilt and reopened, it's an incredible honor for Stevens Construction to serve as the builder. This process has deepened our expertise in coastal construction, building codes and permitting—and we are proud of the results and wish our friends at The Beach Bar many years of success and good times in their new storm-resistant building!" said Adams.

A popular venue for live music, the first floor houses The Beach Bar, an open-air, walk-up bar offering covered beachfront seating, retail area, storage and covered parking. The entire first floor is designed to be flexible should a storm be imminent and includes temporary cooler storage and restroom trailers, both of which can be easily relocated. Marine-grade cabinetry is also used to endure harsh coastal elements such as sunlight and saltwater exposure. Additionally, The Beach Bar is equipped with turtle-friendly glass and lighting to protect hatching sea turtles by controlling beachfront illumination.

The second and third floor is a residential unit available for rent.

Stevens Construction worked with the client for 12 months prior to construction, assisting with design team selection, pre-applications and commercial planned development (CPD) permitting with the Fort Myers Beach municipality; and ensuring the project was designed to reflect the client's budget.
