The Vision
Metropolitan Naples was purpose-built to serve as a catalyst for one of Naples' most strategically positioned parcels — the former Gateway Triangle, at the threshold where Fifth Avenue South meets Davis Boulevard. After years of planning and permitting, longtime Naples developers Jerry Starkey and Fred Pezeshkan secured the 5.3-acre site from the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency and designed a self-contained urban community unlike anything Naples had seen before.
The developer's slogan — "A Singular Destination" — captures the intent precisely. Residents of Metropolitan Naples can live, work, dine, and shop without leaving the property, while remaining just one mile from the waterfront energy of Fifth Avenue South, Naples Bay, and the Gulf beyond. Three 15-story towers rise above ground-level retail and restaurant spaces, with parking concealed within the lower floors and Class A offices and luxury residences above.
The Three Towers
Ascent — Luxury Rentals (Complete)
The first tower to open, Ascent is a 270-unit luxury rental high-rise offering studios through penthouses with resort-style amenities including a 7th-floor pool and sun deck, 2-story fitness center, 24/7 concierge, resident lounge, coworking spaces, and a 6-story parking garage. Ascent welcomed its first residents in Fall 2024 and is now fully operational, bringing life and energy to the Metropolitan Naples campus. Ascent is a rental community only — units are not available for purchase.
Avra — Luxury Condos for Sale
The second tower, Avra at Metropolitan Naples, is the ownership opportunity within the development — 56 luxury condominiums across 15 stories, priced from $2 million to over $7 million. Avra offers two, three, and four-bedroom residences with Wolf and Sub-Zero kitchens, floor-to-ceiling impact glass, deep private lanais, and panoramic views of Naples Bay, the city skyline, and the Gulf of Mexico. A rooftop infinity pool, fitness center, yoga studio, putting green, and private concierge complete the picture. Completion is expected mid-2026. Explore Avra in detail →
Third Tower — Future Development
A third tower is planned for the Metropolitan Naples campus, expected to include luxury apartments, additional retail space, and Class A offices. Details and timeline have not yet been announced.

The Developers
Metropolitan Naples is the work of Jerry Starkey and Fred Pezeshkan — two of Naples' most accomplished and longest-tenured developers. Pezeshkan arrived in Naples in 1979 and has shaped some of the city's most recognized addresses, including the Naples Bay Resort and several landmark Fifth Avenue South buildings. Starkey joined the Naples market in 1988 and has developed luxury communities, golf courses, hotels, marinas, and high-rises across Florida. Together, their vision for the Gateway Triangle parcel was embraced by the Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency as a transformative, iconic urban development that would stimulate redevelopment across the broader area east of Fifth Avenue South.
Location
Metropolitan Naples sits at the intersection of Fifth Avenue South and Davis Boulevard — just one mile east of downtown Olde Naples and its world-class dining and retail corridor.

Nearby, the new Gulfshore Playhouse complex and the Naples Square mixed-use development (including the AC Hotel Naples) are transforming the surrounding blocks into one of the most vibrant destinations in the city.
