NAPLES BEACH CLUB SPOTLIGHT

October 2021 Newsletter

Happy Halloween! Fall has just recently begun to arrive in Naples and as the temperatures have started to shift, so has the activity level around town with a noticeable uptick on the roads, in shops and restaurants. US News & World Report just released their annual rankings of the Best Places to Retire and Naples moved up from #4 to #2 in the nation. Earlier this year, Travel & Leisure ranked Naples the #1 Best Beach Town to Live In out of 145 oceanside beach towns with its “unbeatable quality of life and relative affordability”.

This month’s newsletter is focused on the exciting new Naples Beach Club development, after 75 years of ownership by the Watkins family, the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club just closed for $362 million in a momentous sale to Michael Dell’s MSD Capital after 3.5 years of planning. Over the next 5+ years, The Naples Beach Club will be developed as an amenity-rich Four Seasons Resort beachfront hotel and residences. It is a momentous turning point and is quite exciting to see the development take such a significant step forward! I have plenty of other information about the project, if the Naples Beach Club interests you, please reach out.
