Landmark Office Campus Changes Hands After 29 Years

Bonita Springs, FL · October 7, 2026

Follow the smell of fresh kettle corn toward Riverside Park this morning as the midweek market gets rolling. A passing shower might tag your windshield, but there is plenty humming before the afternoon arrives.

The Lead

For the first time since its completion in 1997, the Walden Center office park on Walden Center Drive has traded hands. Investment firm Bluestone Terra Partners closed on the two-building, 95,000-square-foot campus for $15.35 million on behalf of a local family office, ending nearly three decades of ownership by the original development family.

Sitting across 6.5 lakefront acres just east of U.S. 41, the property accommodates dozens of local professional and medical tenants, including Physicians Regional Medical Group, and enters the transaction at 83 percent occupancy. Following multi-million-dollar capital upgrades that brought fresh roofs, LED systems, and common-area refreshes in recent years, the handover arrives with immediate stability. Naples-based Investment Properties Corporation takes over day-to-day property management this week, keeping existing leases and office footprints steady as tenant operations roll into the busy winter season uninterrupted.

Spotlight & Story

Naples-Fort Myers Greyhound Track
- Opened in December 1957, the track drew roaring crowds along Bonita Beach Road for 63 years until the final greyhounds ran in May 2020. Today, between poker tables and open grass, the 98-acre footprint marks the city’s largest unfinished chapter.
