The Island at West Bay Club tops out in Estero

Kolter Urban has topped out The Island at West Bay Club, a 24-story luxury condominium tower in Estero that will add 86 corner residences inside the 868-acre West Bay Club community. Delivery is expected in mid-2027, with sales led by Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.

Why it matters: - The Island at West Bay Club adds a limited supply of large, new luxury residences in Estero, one of Southwest Florida’s active high-end housing markets. - The project is positioned as an alternative to traditional beachfront condominium living, with Gulf, Estero Bay and preserve views plus access to a private-club lifestyle. - The tower’s scale and location inside an established gated community give buyers a rare mix of privacy, amenities and new construction.

What happened: - Kolter Urban announced the topping out of The Island at West Bay Club, marking a major construction milestone for the 24-story tower in Estero. - The development will include 86 estate-scale residences within the 868-acre West Bay Club community. - Delivery is anticipated in mid-2027. - Premier Sotheby’s International Realty is leading sales.

The details: - The Island is the ninth and final residential neighborhood within West Bay Club. - The tower has four residences per typical floor, and every home occupies a corner of the building. - Residences include three- and four-bedroom-plus-den floor plans ranging from about 3,300 to more than 6,270 square feet. - Homes feature private access-controlled elevators, 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, large outdoor living areas and designer-curated interiors. - Two penthouse residences will offer additional space and elevated finishes. - GarciaStromberg designed the tower’s contemporary coastal architecture. - Manhattan Construction Company is serving as construction manager. - Crews are advancing the structure while also working on interior framing, windows, building systems and residential finishes. - Topping out marks the transition into the next major phase of construction, with more focus on residences, common areas and amenity spaces. - The Island will offer two levels of amenities reserved exclusively for tower residents. - West Bay Club includes an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Pete and P.B. Dye, a private Gulf-front Beach Club, tennis, pickleball and other racquet sports, dining and wellness facilities, and a River Park with kayaking and access to local waterways. - Access to certain club facilities is subject to membership requirements.

Between the lines: - Kolter Urban is leaning into the appeal of a private-club setting rather than a standalone tower model. - The project’s corner-only layout and low number of homes per floor are meant to differentiate the residences from more conventional high-rise developments. - Estero continues to market itself around lifestyle, natural surroundings and access to regional amenities, not just waterfront location.

What’s next: - Construction will move into the next phase as crews complete interiors, shared spaces and amenity areas. - The project is targeting mid-2027 delivery. - Sales activity will continue through Premier Sotheby’s International Realty as the tower moves toward completion.

The bottom line: - The Island at West Bay Club is now full height, and Kolter Urban is turning a finished structure into a luxury condo offering built around space, views and club access.
