A penthouse in the Brighton at Bay Colony fetched a record price of $12.5 million.

The Brighton is one of six high-rises directly on the beach in Bay Colony, an exclusive gated enclave tucked inside Pelican Bay in North Naples.

The penthouse on the 21st floor set a new record in the building, selling for just over $2,000 per square foot.

Not only is it the highest sale in the building’s history, but it’s one of the highest prices paid for a condo in the half dozen towers that sit on the waterfront, according to the sellers’ agents, the Manring Brothers of Compass Florida.

The penthouse, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, sold on Aug. 19. It stretches more than 6,000 square feet, with four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms.

What else attracted the buyers?
The open terraces in the Brighton, not found in any of the other high-rises in Bay Colony, were a big attraction.

Renderings show what could become of Naples compound listed for record $295 million

Laura Layden | Naples Daily News

A posh Port Royal compound in Naples that made national headlines as the most expensive home for sale in America has generated “considerable interest.”

It’s still on the market at a record $295 million.

To drum up even more interest, the sellers’ agents partnered with a Naples-based architect, Harrison Design, to produce renderings to help potential buyers visualize the possibilities for the one-of-a-kind waterfront property.

Known as Gordon Pointe, the 9.04-acre gated compound hit the market in February.

It’s being marketed by Coldwell Banker Realty’s Dawn McKenna Group, in partnership with The Leighton Candler Team of Corcoran and Rory McMullen of Savills, the London-based real estate firm.

The listing includes three homes. However, it’s anticipated the new owners will want to make the property their own, so the renderings are meant to show what the future could hold for it.

“We have found that most serious buyers have been looking at the property as a family compound, but it is hard to demonstrate just how big and how much can be done with the property,” said Dawn McKenna, founder of the Dawn McKenna Group.

The renderings show a 35,000-square-foot primary home on the beach, with an expansive “guest home” of about 22,000 square feet on the bay. Each have their own pool.

The conceptual plans for what’s envisioned as a new family compound include a three-hole golf course, two gated entries, a pickleball court, a beach cabana with a fully equipped summer kitchen, and its own separate pool.

“We have had considerable interest in this exceptional property, primarily from single families who plan to make this their private retreat. Some inquiries and offers have been from people who already have a significant property here in Port Royal. Others are from people with ties to the Midwest and Canada,” McKenna said.

She added: “We have also been fielding serious interest from abroad, including South America and Europe.”
