The signature waterfront enclave has noted tremendous demand, reporting $300 million in sales to date
STOCK Residences, the high-end condominium division of award-winning, Naples-based STOCK Development, has broken ground on The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Naples — the first Ritz-Carlton-branded Residences in Naples.
More than 100 industry leaders, local dignitaries, Owners, and top-producing realtors were in attendance on Nov. 16 for an opulent waterfront ceremony to commemorate the milepost — complete with a champagne toast and brunch on the project’s site.

With an idyllic setting flanked by Vanderbilt Beach and the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Vanderbilt Lagoon to the north (250 Center Street North, Naples, Fla.), The Residences — which are slated for delivery in 2026 and will feature a limited collection of just 128 estate-like dwellings and penthouses, spread throughout five boutique buildings — have been a standout among high-end homebuyers worldwide.
The lush, six-acre development is more than 50% sold, equating to $300 million in pre-construction sales. The feat is being attributed to the project’s Vanderbilt Beach access, high-touch concierge services, generously sized designer homes, and more than 50,000 square feet of extravagant amenities managed by The Ritz-Carlton.

Even before we began putting shovels in the ground, global interest was rapidly rising, as evidenced by the phenomenal response among homebuyers. Savvy consumers know full well that what we are creating here, in the heart of one of Naples’ most beloved communities, will offer an opportunity for sophisticated, Gulf-front living that cannot be replicated.”
