There are moments in real estate when a site does more than check boxes. It stirs something. The first time I stood at 2020 Gulf Shore, I understood immediately why this project has captured so much attention among longtime Naples residents and newcomers discovering the coast for the first time. The views open to both the Gulf and the Bay, which is already a rare gift in this part of Naples. The energy of downtown is minutes away, yet the environment here feels peaceful and tucked away. When you add the ability to walk across to a quiet beachfront park and to step onto your boat in your own backyard, the question becomes less about why this location is special and more about how often opportunities like this truly exist.
Naples has always held a certain magnetism. It is cultured, low-density, and deeply connected to the outdoors. The art shows, the playhouse, the car culture, the dining scene, and the beaches create a lifestyle that does not feel replicated anywhere else. 2020 Gulf Shore reflects that exact spirit. It is intimate in size with only 15 residences. It is modern in design with interiors created by Soucie Horner Design Collective, a firm that understands Naples and appreciates a buyer who demands timelessness and sophistication. It has the convenience of a lock-and-leave residence matched with the comfort and graciousness of a single-family home. And it offers boating as a true way of life, not a weekend aspiration.
Having 11 private boat slips for only fifteen residences is almost unheard of in Naples. Typically, if you want this combination of views and boating access, you would need a canal home or a membership at a marina. Here, you walk downstairs, step into your boat, and you are out on the Gulf within minutes. That sense of ease defines the offering. Residents can start their mornings on the rooftop deck watching the seabirds soar along the shoreline, spend an afternoon by the pool that overlooks the harbor, and later walk down the beach to the new Four Seasons for a drink at sunset. It is elevated but relaxed. Luxurious but natural.
This is also one of the rare chances to own new construction on Gulf Shore Boulevard. Many of the buildings along this stretch were designed decades ago, and they do not offer the finishes, amenities, or modern conveniences today’s buyers expect. The partnership between Golub and Barron Collier also brings a level of legacy and experience that shows in every detail. These are visionaries who understand the Naples lifestyle.
What strikes people most when they learn about 2020 Gulf Shore is how balanced the lifestyle feels. You are close enough to downtown that you can be at Fifth Avenue or Third Street in less than ten minutes, yet the property itself feels quiet and secluded. You have both the privacy of a boutique building and the social connection of an intimate community where people know one another. You have the beauty of the Gulf within view and you’re immersed in the activity of the Bay. It is a combination that defines Naples but is rarely offered so completely in one property.
For so many of our buyers, this is the place that finally aligns with how they want to live in Naples. It is not just the luxury of the residences. It is the convenience, the setting, and the sense that every day can start or end with something beautiful. That is what makes this opportunity so special and why these 15 homes will not be available for long.
Questions Buyers Often Ask About 2020 Gulf Shore
What makes 2020 Gulf Shore a unique waterfront property in Naples?
The site offers both Bayfront and Gulf proximity with open views in both directions. It sits directly on Moorings Bay with private boat slips, and it faces a beachfront park across Gulf Shore Boulevard, providing quick access to sand and sunsets without the density typical of other coastal locations.
How close is the property to downtown Naples?
Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South are less than ten minutes away. The route is direct and scenic since the building sits south of the Doctors Pass bridge, allowing easy access to the cultural and dining heart of Naples.
Why are the boat slips so important?
There are 11 private slips for only 15 residences, which is an exceptional ratio in Naples. This gives residents the ability to boat from their own backyard rather than relying on a marina or a canal home. Gulf access is only minutes away.
What are the sizes of the residences at 2020 Gulf Shore?
Every home at 2020 Gulf Shore features a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath layout, with square footages that range from 3,175 to 3,775 SF of living area to accommodate different lifestyles and preferences. The residences are designed to feel spacious and airy, with an emphasis on natural light, refined finishes, and views that capture both the Gulf and the Bay.
How many floor plans are available?
There are five floor plans in total. Each one offers the same three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath program, but with meaningful variation in size, orientation, and flow. This gives buyers the ability to select the layout that best matches how they want to live, whether they prefer more expansive entertaining space, more private bedroom separation, or specific view corridors.
How does the size of the community shape the lifestyle?
With only 15 residences, the building offers privacy, serenity, and a sense of community that larger properties cannot replicate. Many buyers appreciate the quiet atmosphere, the sense of familiarity among neighbors, and the rarity of such limited inventory.
Who designed the interiors?
Soucie Horner Design Collective created the interiors, bringing an approach that is refined, classic, and tailored to a luxury buyer who appreciates quality and longevity in design. Their work is well known throughout Florida and the Midwest for feeling effortless and warm.
What amenity spaces are planned for the building?
2020 Gulf Shore includes a Bayfront pool at ground level, a rooftop deck with outdoor kitchens, grilling areas, and space for wellness, along with panoramic sunset views for all residents. There is also a suite of concierge style services available through Juniper Holiday and Home, including home readiness, housekeeping arrangements, and arrival preparation.
Who is developing 2020 Gulf Shore Naples?
2020 Gulf Shore’s managing developers includes both Golub & Company and Barron Collier Companies. Together, they bring a combined legacy spanning some of the most recognized communities and landmark projects in the country. Golub developed Chicago’s Tribune Tower and The Bristol in Palm Beach, and Barron Collier’s extensive southwest Florida portfolio is highlighted by Grey Oaks, Estuary, and Ave Maria.
Why is this considered a rare residential offering?
New construction along Gulf Shore Boulevard is limited, and very few sites offer both Gulf and Bay perspectives with boating access. With only 15 homes starting at $7.5 million, this is an opportunity that combines scarcity, exclusivity, and waterfront living for a distinguished luxury buyer.
