Future of Luxury: Upcoming Master-Planned Communities to Know

Southwest Florida’s real estate landscape is transforming at an unprecedented pace, with Naples, Fort Myers, and surrounding Collier County areas set to welcome thousands of new homes over the next decade. For high-net-worth buyers, these upcoming master-planned communities promise more than just beautiful residences—they deliver curated lifestyles, resort-grade amenities, and long-term property value growth.

With new construction fueled by strategic infrastructure upgrades—like the expanded I-75 interchanges at U.S./SR 951 and Pine Ridge Road—buyers will have more opportunities to own in prestigious, well-connected neighborhoods.

1. Bellmar: A New Town in East Collier

One of the most ambitious projects in Collier County, Bellmar will feature three distinct villages and as many as 8,350 homes east of Golden Gate Estates. Developed by Collier Enterprises, this community is designed to offer luxury residences alongside green space, recreation, and essential services.

• Highlight for luxury buyers: Opportunities for large-lot estates in a thoughtfully planned rural setting.

• Amenities: Anticipated resort-style clubhouses, trails, and integrated retail/dining.

2. Collier Boulevard Luxury Corridor

The stretch along 951/Collier Boulevard is becoming a luxury development hotspot. Several high-end communities are underway:

• Caymas, Seven Shores, Tamarindo, and Summerlit – up to 2,111 luxury single-family homes and villas.

• Convenient access to Naples beaches, golf courses, and cultural attractions.

• Designed with modern coastal architecture and private amenities such as pools, clubhouses, and fitness centers.

3. Isles of Collier Preserve – Final Luxury Phase

In a major pivot from agriculture to development, Alico Inc. plans to transform 3,000 acres at the intersection of Corkscrew Road and SR 82 into a master-planned community with about 9,000 homes.

• Luxury potential: Expect high-end enclaves alongside family-focused neighborhoods, making it attractive for multi-generational estate buyers.

5. Greenway Fritchey Communities

Two proposed neighborhoods on 229 acres near Tamiami Trail East aim to blend market-rate homes with workforce housing through a Habitat for Humanity partnership.
