A Landmark Moment for Naples Real Estate
STOCK Residences, the luxury condominium arm of Naples-based STOCK Development, has officially marked the topping out of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples, bringing the Gulf-front community one step closer to reality. With its signature towers now structurally complete, the project has reached a critical milestone in its trajectory toward welcoming residents in early 2026.
Occupying a coveted six-acre stretch between Vanderbilt Beach and Vanderbilt Lagoon, this residential enclave is the first of its kind in Naples to bear the Ritz-Carlton name. The development is already 75% sold, including all three penthouses—each claimed within a span of just six months. With interest showing no signs of slowing, this announcement places the property at the forefront of Naples' evolving ultra-luxury real estate landscape.
Thoughtfully Designed and Architecturally Ambitious
Led by general contractor Suffolk, with architectural contributions from Curts Gaines Hall Jones (CGHJ) and interiors curated by Cristian Pinedo of SUSURRUS, the residences balance contemporary coastal elegance with timeless design sensibilities. Marc-Michaels Interior Design was enlisted to guide floorplan optimization and the selection of bespoke finishes throughout the property.
Comprising five distinct buildings—two mid-rise Bay Residences and two 12-story Tower Residences (now topped off)—the development offers 128 expansive estate-style homes, ranging from three to five bedrooms and starting at approximately 3,000 square feet. Select homes include wraparound balconies, private elevators, and sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico. The final structure of the five is the amenity-rich Vanderbilt Club.
Luxury Amenities Meet Resort-Level Living
Residents will enjoy exclusive access to The Vanderbilt Club, a 28,000-square-foot private amenity center that includes:
A grand owners' atrium and lobby lounge
A residents-only restaurant and coffee bar
A business center
A full-service spa and state-of-the-art fitness facility
A rooftop lounge, teen club with a Formula 1 simulator, and kids’ playroom
A golf simulator and private screening room
Outdoors, 22,000 square feet of recreational space offers a lap pool, resort-style swimming pool, private cabanas, fire pits, and a putting green. A 22-slip marina and adjacent park with walking trails further enrich the property’s appeal for boaters and nature lovers alike.
A New Standard for Gulf Coast Residences
While the name Ritz-Carlton evokes international prestige, the true triumph of this development lies in the collaborative leadership of STOCK Development. With over two decades of experience crafting high-end communities across Florida, STOCK brings its custom homebuilding pedigree to a vertical format—delivering personalized luxury with branded distinction.
Brian Stock, CEO of STOCK Development, emphasized the importance of the moment:
“This topping-off ceremony is a triumph for our team and a win for the Naples community, now closer to debuting its first-ever branded residences under The Ritz-Carlton brand.”
Brian Stock, CEO of STOCK Development
Suffolk’s Gulf Coast President Pete Tuffo echoed that sentiment, applauding the seamless coordination and shared vision that have defined the development process.
The Neighborhood and Market Demand
Located just steps from Vanderbilt Beach and minutes from high-end shopping, dining, and cultural offerings, the residences are positioned between Naples’ two existing Ritz-Carlton hotels, bridging the gap between resort luxury and private homeownership. That proximity—and the prestige that comes with it—is a major draw for buyers seeking new-construction exclusivity in an otherwise low-inventory market.
According to Claudine Léger-Wetzel, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for STOCK Development:
“Buyers have been specifically seeking out this project… They recognize that this is an incredible opportunity to own new construction in one of Naples’ most desirable neighborhoods.”
