A penthouse in Naples has quietly listed for $37.5 million.
That makes it the most expensive resale condo on the market in the city.
There is at least one new penthouse going for more, according to the Southwest Florida Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Its price tag: $45 million (for delivery in 2027).
New condos usually don’t appear on the MLS.
Here’s more to know about the renovated move-in ready offering, which could set a new benchmark for its tower and the Naples resale condo market:
Where is it located?
It’s Penthouse 2 at The Regent, a 24-story tower in the Park Shore neighborhood. The tower offers panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and Venetian Bay, sitting at 4101 Gulf Shore Boulevard North. In total, the building has 37 condos.
When was it built?
The tower was delivered by The Lutgert Cos. in 2002, but Penthouse 2 has been “completely reimagined,” creating a residence that is “a sanctuary of elegance and comfort, perfectly tailored for modern living,” according to the listing.
How big is it?
The home stretches a little over 12,000 square feet under air. At The Regent, there are five penthouses, on the top five floors, with each condo taking up an entire floor.

The Naples Winter Wine Festival reached a milestone this weekend.
At the 25th anniversary of the event, those attending the Jan. 25 live auction in a tent outside The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón, bid on 52 auction lots and help raise more than $34 million.
This brings the total amount raised by the Naples Winter Wine Festival to more than $336 million since its inception in 2001. The money goes to nonprofits that support at-risk and underprivileged children in Collier County.
What were some of the winning bid and auction lots
One couple took home a 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible with a winning bid of $1.7 million. The lot also includes a four-night VIP Bentley experience at Monterey Car Week from Aug. 14-Aug. 18, beginning with roundtrip, first class airfare from any major city in the United States or Canada to the California Bay Area.

The sun may’ve been golden, but the festival was silver representing its 25th anniversary. Saturday afternoon at The Ritz-Carlton Naples Tiburon, festival goers dressed to impress with lots of designer sparkling and sequined tops, skirts, bags, and jackets, along with shiny silver boots, and stilettos.
One end of the Grand Tasting tent was lined with tables burgeoning with rare and vintage wines, many that are seldom accessible to the general public.
At the other end of the tent was a massive dessert display filled with creations that were works of art. Wowing the crowd was a 35-inch paella pan filled with apple pie. Along the perimeter, top chefs from around the country served a variety of exquisite savory bites.
Next, the Gulf Coast High School Drum Line led the group into the auction tent with its lively beats. The energy under the auction tent was explosive as auctioneers took turns coaxing the crowd to open their wallets to support the Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF).
Since its inception, the foundation has raised some $302 million for underserved and at-risk children in Collier County.

Most nights, the residents in and around Kings Lake, Naples, listen to screaming, crying, and howling.
All because of a few lonely limpkins.
Known as Florida’s loudest bird, several limpkins haunt the shores of Kings Lake each year, searching for a mate. Once considered endangered, limpkins are a version of a rail, roughly the size of a heron, and are mostly brown and black, with white and yellow feathers peeking out between.
The limpkin has a long, downward curved beak, which it uses to snag its favorite snails from the bottom of freshwater marshes and lakes.
According to the National Audubon Society, the limpkin is a wading bird with no close relatives. It feeds largely on freshwater apple snails in Florida and southern Georgia, and spends most of its time alone.
Naples neighbors of the limpkins say they are generally easy neighbors. They spend most of their days in the tall pines that dot the skirts of King’s Lake, and residents say they don’t have to take special precautions to avoid bothering the birds — but the birds don’t have the same compunctions.

The “Miracle Mile” in Naples has seen another eye-popping sale.
A beachfront redevelopment site has fetched $92.5 million. The buyer: Kolter Urban, based in Delray Beach on Florida’s east coast.
It’s the second big investment made by the same company along a roughly one mile-stretch of Gulf Shore Boulevard North that has been dubbed the “Miracle Mile,” after showing resilience in the face of so much devastation from Hurricane Ian in 2022.
The area is seeing major changes.
The storm has triggered more redevelopment and a grassroots effort, supported by the city, to rebuild and improve the “public realm.”
With the redevelopment, residents and city leaders see an opportunity to “make lemonade out of lemons,” in a public-private partnership to improve the look and function of the street, creating a marquee entrance into the city. A conceptual plan is in the works.
Kolter’s latest purchase in the area is a 3.07-acre site at 3300 Gulf Shore Blvd. N.
In a statement, Brian Van Slyke, the company’s regional president for the West Coast, said the purchase “represents Kolter Urban’s ongoing commitment to creating exceptional waterfront living experiences.”
The company’s projects include The Ritz-Carlton Residences in Sarasota, Saltaire St. Petersburg, ONE St. Petersburg, and Hyde Park House in Tampa, with other communities currently under development along both coasts of Florida.
