Cameratta Companies Begins Development of Kingston Community in Estero

Cameratta Companies has started construction on the new Kingston community that will span in total over 6,702 acres. The first portion of the land to be developed is approximately 2,700 acres of property.

Kingston is known to be a conservation restoration project that will transform a distressed and overgrown farmland into a unique community blending environmental preserves with residential neighborhoods and commercial amenities. Of the 6,702 acres, over half will be restored with wildlife habitat and designated as preserves.

Cameratta is the developer behind four premier communities in southeastern Estero: Verdana Village, The Place at Corkscrew, Corkscrew Shores and The Preserve at Corkscrew.

Kingston has received approvals from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as local and state permitting agencies. Land clearing has begun and construction on the first series of model homes will start in mid-2026. Cameratta Companies has partnered with Lennar Homes, Taylor Morrison, Neal Communities and Pulte Homes as the premier builders for the community.

Kingston’s environmental benefits include:

• Creation of wildlife corridors for safe migration and natural landscaping to restore natural habitats similar to the 2,000,000 acres of panther habitat set aside by the State of Florida.
• Enhanced water quality resulting from converting agricultural lands to residential usage, resulting in a reduction in phosphorus, nitrogen and groundwater irrigation withdrawal.
• Water monitoring will be required at all project discharge locations, which has not been required during the previous agricultural operation.
• Restoration of natural flow-ways for surface water and groundwater, as well as hydrological restoration for groundwater attenuation to benefit existing aquifers.

Cameratta Companies expects builders to begin Kingston’s residential sales in late 2026 with the first residents moving into their new homes in early 2027. More information about Kingston is available online at KingstonEstero.com.
