Breaking Ground Along Gulf Shore Boulevard
With construction now officially underway at 3300 Gulf Shore, our team has entered the first active phase of building this new bayfront community along Gulf Shore Boulevard.
As someone who oversees development and construction for Kolter Urban throughout Southwest Florida, I’ve learned that every project has its own set of considerations. At 3300 Gulf Shore, those begin with the site itself. Located between Outer Doctors Bay and the Gulf, the setting plays an important role in how we approach construction from the outset.
Breaking ground here marks the point where planning transitions into execution, and where attention to sequencing, coordination, and site conditions becomes essential to delivering the project as intended.
What Happens First — and Why It Matters
In the early stages of any waterfront project, much of the most important work takes place before vertical construction begins. At 3300 Gulf Shore, the first phase now underway is seawall construction.
This work establishes the shoreline conditions needed to support the rest of the construction process and provides the structural baseline for everything that follows. Once the seawall is complete, the project will move directly into foundation preparation, followed by piling, which is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
These early phases may not be immediately visible from the street, but they are critical. The precision and care applied here influence the long-term performance and durability of the building. From there, vertical construction will begin, followed by interior buildout and finish work. Based on the current schedule, overall project completion is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2027, with steady progress visible throughout each stage.
A Unique Site Along Gulf Shore Boulevard
Not all waterfront sites are the same, and this particular stretch of Gulf Shore Boulevard offers characteristics that set it apart. Compared to more heavily trafficked areas closer to downtown, this location provides a quieter residential environment while remaining close to the heart of Naples.
From a construction standpoint, that balance matters. It allows for efficient site access and logistics while preserving the calm character that future residents value. From a lifestyle perspective, it means direct access to the bay, proximity to the beach, and a short drive to Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South, without sacrificing privacy or a sense of retreat.
Integrating the Marina into the Construction Plan
One of the defining features of 3300 Gulf Shore is its private marina, which will include 16 boat slips along with dedicated areas for kayaks and other watercraft. Incorporating a marina into the overall site plan requires early coordination and careful planning, particularly when sequencing shoreline and foundation work.
The marina is designed to feel like a natural extension of the property rather than a separate element. As construction progresses, you’ll begin to see how the marina, waterfront amenities, and building itself come together as a cohesive whole, reinforcing the connection between the residences and the water.
Designing Amenities While We Build
While construction naturally begins with structure, the planning and coordination behind the amenity spaces at 3300 Gulf Shore have been part of the process from the very beginning. These spaces influence everything from building systems to structural layouts, which is why they’re integrated into construction planning, not layered in later.
We’re working closely with MHK Architecture & Planning, the project’s architect, and CID Design Group, who is leading the interior design, to ensure that the vision for the building translates seamlessly from drawings to the finished environment. Their involvement continues well into the construction phase, coordinating with our team and our general contractor to align detailing, materials, and sequencing.
As the building rises, spaces such as the 3300 Wellness Club, sunrise and sunset pools, private dining and social lounges, and other shared amenities will begin to take physical form. These areas were designed to function as true extensions of the residences, and that intent shapes how they are built, from structural spans and ceiling heights to mechanical coordination and finish installation.
From a development standpoint, this level of collaboration helps ensure that what residents experience when they walk into these spaces reflects the quality, scale, and lifestyle that were envisioned from the start.
