After much back and forth, Naples City Council narrowly approved a new mixed-use building downtown.
First approved by council in 2013, the larger planned development known as Naples Square, has continued to evolve at the corner of Fifth Avenue South and Goodlette-Frank Road.
The new three-story building, known as Encore, will include 15 luxury homes on two floors, with 6,825 square feet of retail and office spaces sitting underneath.
The commercial uses could include a small cafe.
The hearing ran for hours, with several council members raising concerns about the project’s impact on everything from roads to water drainage – and questioning whether it violated city rules.
In the end, council voted 4-3 in favor of the project Wednesday.

Dirt is flying on a long-awaited luxury resort development in Bonita Springs.
Heatherwood Construction has broken ground on the first phase of Cabana Resort, marking a significant milestone for what’s dubbed as an innovative condominium and entertainment mega-development.
The development has faced myriad challenges, from regulatory hurdles to supply chain shortages.
It’s rising on a 10-acre site, west of U.S. 41, between Luke Street and Meadowlark Lane on the north side of Bonita Beach Road. The vacant property sits next to Bonita Village, which has been absorbed into the new development.
Rodes Restaurant & Fish Market once operated on part of the land. The popular family-run eatery closed in 2019 after nearly 20 years in business, and its building came down a few years later, to make way for progress.
The first phase of Cabana Resort is a seven-story building, with 110 condominiums.

It’s a sometimes overused word, but a new community planned in eastern Collier County is unique.
It’s not a town, or a village.
It’s a compact development, the first one proposed under the county’s Rural Lands Stewardship Area, or RLSA, program.
The community’s name reflects its rural character. It’s dubbed the Collier Rod and Gun Club at the Preserve, with an emphasis on the word preserve.
Naples-based Barron Collier Cos. is behind the proposed development, about five miles east of Ave Maria and 10 miles south of Immokalee.
The project is still winding its way through the regulatory channels. It will go before county commissioners for final approval on Tuesday, but remains under review by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the South Florida Water Management District, for its required permits.
The long-time local developer has proposed a seasonal, nature-inspired retreat, with no more than 225 single-family homes, or “cabins,” on about 260 acres, with a main entrance off State Road 29.
Rod and gun club proposed as first compact rural community in eastern Collier County
The retreat has been designed around nature and the topography of the land as it has been for “thousands of years,” said Blake Gable, CEO of Barron Collier Cos.

The development Metropolitan Naples is taking shape, with its first high-rise tower well underway.
The first tower ― a luxury apartment development, known as Ascent in East Naples ― broke ground nearly a year ago. Concrete has been poured up to the eighth floor.
Construction won’t be finished until next year. There are still seven more floors to go, before reaching the roof.
“We’re a little more than halfway there now,” said Deane Dolben, president of The Dolben Co., one of the partners in Ascent.
The tower is rising in an area known as the Gateway Triangle, named for its pizza-like shape. It sits between Davis Boulevard to the north and U.S. 41 to the south in East Naples.
Apartments, big and small
Ascent will offer 270 apartments, ranging from 576-square-foot studios to 2,133-square-foot penthouses.
The building will include a large 6,500-square-foot restaurant and a smaller 1,200-square foot retail store, along with a five-story parking garage. The apartments will start on the third floor, wrapping around the garage, which is built into the development, Dolben explained.
