The Harbour Club looks much like it did after Hurricane Ian.
Ravaged by the deadly and destructive storm in 2022, the twin low-rise residential buildings are a sore reminder of the past.
Not for long.
After failed attempts to restore the co-op buildings by its collective owners, a local group of investors has acquired the bayfront property — at 1624 Gulf Shore Blvd. N. in Naples — with plans to redevelop it.
The plans: To build an “exclusive collection of premium condominiums” that look more like single-family homes, with prices that are more affordable to more people.
The property is within a roughly 1 mile stretch of road, dubbed the “Miracle Mile” after it showed so much resilience in the face of so much devastation from Ian. The area is seeing big changes, with a flurry of new development, as it recovers and evolves in the aftermath of the storm.
Last developed in the 1960s, the property, in Coquina Sands, overlooking Hurricane Harbor, sold for $17.5 million.

Marco Island saw two record home sales this season.
One for a single-family estate, the other for a villa.
While they may not come close to the whopping home sales made in Naples, they’ve moved the needle on the island.
Typically, the busy season runs from November to April in Southwest Florida, bringing more buyers to town.
As season wound down, Marco Island saw a $6.35 million sale for a 4,125-square-foot, five-bedroom single-family home, with five-and-a-half bathrooms, plus a den. Located at 40 Primrose Court, its price made it the highest sale for a “water indirect” property on the 6 x 4 mile island ever.
