Harbour House condos approved on Naples’ Miracle Mile 

A luxury boutique-style development featuring 14 single-family condos on Naples’ Miracle Mile is moving toward construction this summer. 

Naples Design Review Board last month unanimously approved final plans for Harbour House, which will span three buildings at 1624 Gulf Shore Blvd. N. The condos will replace the now-vacant Harbour Club, a 1960s-era midcentury modern low-rise cooperative with 20 homes, and will overlook Hurricane Harbor, a waterfront residential neighborhood west of U.S. 41 in the Coquina Sands and Moorings area. 

City staff, who previously approved the development’s site plan, recommended approval. 

Design Review Board members praised the project team for incorporating feedback and refining the design since its preliminary review. 

“This development could have been one massive building… with a 150-foot-long wall that was articulated,” said board Chair Stephen Hruby, an architect, urban and town planner. “But you’ve done a very nice job of breaking this thing up so it kind of looks like a series of big houses linked together, which I think is respectful to the … development to the north of the property and across the waterway.” 

“… That front door improvement is well worth it,” he said, praising a vegetative buffer of fishtail palms, noting they will come in at 16 feet and grow to 25 feet quickly. 

The project is being developed by Naples-based MHK Architecture and Borelli Construction of Naples, in partnership with others. It will transform the vacant Harbour Club site into a coastal-modern enclave. Prices are expected to range from $6.5 million to $10 million and the development will span roughly 1 mile of the Miracle Mile, 1.3 miles of prime coastline along Gulf Shore Boulevard North, from Doctor’s Pass to Naples Beach Club, a Four Seasons Resort. 

Realtors and developers say the Miracle Mile, named for homes’ resiliency during Hurricane Ian in 2022, is at the center of Naples’ latest wave of luxury development, drawing national attention and buyers. 

Appraiser records show the petitioner, Las Vegas-based 1624 Gulfshore LLC, purchased the 1.36-acre beachfront redevelopment site in 2025 for $17.5 million. The company is headed by attorney Dominic Polizzotto, CEO of Pilot Grove Management LLC in Las Vegas, a company formed by casino operator Jack Binion. Polizzotto previously served as general counsel of Horseshoe Gaming, once owned by Binion. 

Architect Mark McLean, national director of MHK Architecture, said the project was previously approved for 21 units but has been scaled back to 14 homes. The residences will include two stories over two-car garages, elevators, outdoor living spaces with pools or spas, and private patios. Bayfront amenities include a resort-style pool, overwater lounge deck and 11 optional private 38-foot boat slips with direct Gulf access. 

Plans also show features such as outdoor kitchens, putting greens and fire pits, as well as individual trash bins instead of dumpsters. The development incorporates Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, or CPTED, a strategy aimed at improving safety through design. 

The three buildings will offer varying unit sizes. Excluding garages and outdoor areas, residences will range from 2,174 to 2,777 square feet, with balconies from 71 to 278 square feet. The largest building will include six homes, while the other two will have four each. The project will include 28 private garage spaces and 16 guest spaces, along with waterfront cabanas, kayak and paddleboard launches, electric-vehicle charging stations, storage and energy-efficient hurricane windows. 

Located near Lowdermilk Park, Harbour House adds to ongoing development along the Miracle Mile, including the Four Seasons and Rosewood Residences. 

According to the project website, one condo has been sold and two are reserved. 

Carri Buckowich, senior manager of residential design for Outside Productions Inc., outlined revisions made in response to board feedback, including permeable pavers to improve drainage, changes to the driveway and sidewalks and adjustments to a wall and fence along Gulf Shore Boulevard to reduce visual impact. 

Nearby residents said developers addressed some concerns but raised additional issues. Jeff Miller, president of Naples Casamore, said the lack of seismic monitoring during seawall removal caused vibrations that affected neighboring homes. He also expressed concern about the seawall height. 

“It obviously raises concerns to us about what happens in the event of a surge when their wall protects them for an extra foot and diverts the water onto our seawall, onto our property and into our backyards,” Miller said. 

Joanne Miller also raised concerns about the use of fishtail palms, describing them as high-maintenance and potentially hazardous. 

Landscape architect Pat Trefz, owner of Outside Productions, said the palms are not listed as invasive but should be used with caution. He said mitigation strategies, including planting beds to catch falling seeds and root barriers, have been used successfully on other projects. 

In approving the project, board member Irma Sefa said that if fishtail palms are used as a northern buffer, root barriers should be considered to limit encroachment into neighboring properties. 

After the meeting, Borelli Construction President Parker Borelli said the team appreciated the approval and the opportunity to incorporate community input. 

“We took the time to meet with residents, hear their feedback and work collaboratively to refine the design in a way that respects both the character of the neighborhood and its future,” Borelli said. “We believe this approval reflects a shared vision for thoughtful growth along the Miracle Mile, and we’re proud to be part of that next chapter.” 

The project team also includes R & C Co. Designs architects and West Shore Properties, both based in Naples.
