Stevens Construction begins Access 26 Family Food Truck Park

Stevens Construction has started construction of the Access 26 Family Food Truck Park on Fort Myers Beach, announced Dan Adams, executive vice president/partner, Stevens Construction, Inc.

Located at 2500 Estero Blvd. and at Beach Access 26, Access 26 Family Food Truck Park is a new dining concept on Fort Myers Beach comprised of a two-story, 3,000-square-foot structure featuring a bar with covered seating, Manny’s Scoops ice cream shop and a retail area. The second floor will house storage, office space, restrooms, coolers, a freezer and a dumbwaiter system for transporting beer kegs and supplies.

The project will also include a 569-square-foot comfort center with men’s and women’s restrooms, storage and three outdoor showers. Additional amenities include a curbside table rail, an artificial turf play area, three shade canvas structures, guest parking lot and beach access.

Scheduled for completion in early 2027, the centerpiece of Access 26 Family Food Truck Park will be five food trucks, each offering unique menu options.

Designed with storm protection in mind, the building’s generator and mechanical equipment will be elevated above flood level. Metal flood panels and waterproof walls will help protect the building from storm surge and flooding. The foundation is also designed to allow water to flow through more easily during severe storms while meeting FEMA and Florida coastal floodplain requirements.

The Stevens Construction team includes Director of Preconstruction Nick Burkel and Estimator Evan Lopes. The project was designed by Studio AD Architecture. Additional consultants include JR Evans Engineering, AMG Design, Commercial Glass & Restaurant Supply and The Neighborhood Company.
