The Island at West Bay Club Condominium Tower, Estero, Florida

Kolter Urban has topped out The Island at West Bay Club, a 24-story condominium tower in Estero, Fla., marking the milestone with a ceremonial beam at the end of October 2026. Manhattan Construction Company is building it, and GarciaStromberg designed it. Prices start around $3 million, and the top-floor penthouses have been reported near $10 million.

It’s the final neighborhood planned inside West Bay Club, an 868-acre golf community on Estero Bay. That makes this tower the last piece of a master plan that’s been filling in for decades.

Project Scope

The building holds 86 homes, all three- and four-bedroom layouts running from about 3,300 square feet to more than 6,270 square feet at the penthouse level. Each unit gets private-access elevator service, 10-foot ceilings and wraparound terraces with views across the bay and the club’s golf course toward the Gulf.

Amenities split between the ground level and the roof. There’s a resort-style pool with lap lanes, cabanas and grilling stations, a private fitness center, a dog park and a sports simulator lounge. The 24th floor is set aside as a rooftop amenity deck.

Kolter Urban broke ground on Jan. 29, 2025, after the Village of Estero issued the construction permit in mid-2024. That puts topping out at roughly 21 months from groundbreaking for a 24-story coastal tower, which is a solid pace. Glass and interior work are underway, and completion is slated for mid-2027. The address is 5100 Baybridge Boulevard.

Manhattan Construction brings a long résumé on Florida’s west coast, including the Raymond James Stadium renovations, the Tampa International Airport expansion and the St. Pete Pier.

Why It Matters

Southwest Florida’s luxury condo market didn’t stall after Hurricane Ian hit Lee County in 2022. It shifted toward fewer, bigger units in towers built to current wind and flood standards, and buyers have been paying for it. A building with only 86 homes on 24 floors, most of them corner residences, is the clearest version of that bet.

The tower also lands as Florida condo buyers weigh the post-Surfside rules on milestone inspections and reserve funding, which have pushed many owners of older coastal buildings toward new product. New construction like this is the beneficiary. Kolter has said the building is the last new neighborhood at West Bay Club, so there won’t be another one like it on this site.
