With ten residences, resales are infrequent and often private. Tell us the plan and floor you prefer and we will let you know what is available, what has traded and when an owner may be willing to talk.
The Residences
Stella’s ten original residences run from about 2,124 to 2,878 square feet under air, in two-bedroom, two-bedroom-plus-den and three-bedroom plans. Interiors carry custom Ruffino cabinetry, wide-plank European white oak floors, Viking, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, motorized window coverings and indoor and outdoor fireplaces. The signature is the roof: each residence has its own private terrace of up to about 1,100 square feet, many fitted with outdoor kitchens, so evenings are spent above the street rather than at a shared deck. Below, residents share a 42-foot resort-style pool with a sun shelf, a fitness center, a clubhouse and a dog park, with covered, deeded parking and EV charging.

The Location
The building stands at the corner of Ninth Street South and First Avenue South, at the eastern edge of the Olde Naples grid. Fifth Avenue South is about four blocks south, an easy walk; Cambier Park lies a few blocks beyond it; and Third Street South and the Gulf beaches, about three-quarters of a mile west, are a short bicycle or golf-cart ride. The Cayden is a block south on the same street.

What the MLS Shows
Stella recorded three resales in the two years to September 30, 2026. A 2,223-square-foot two-bedroom sold for $3,525,000 in October 2024 after 13 days, or $1,586 per square foot; the same plan sold for $3,337,500 in September 2025, after 119 days and a first asking price of $3,950,000; and a 2,875-square-foot residence first offered at $5,125,000 sold for $3,450,000 in September 2026, after 353 days, or $1,200 per square foot. On October 1, 2026, one residence was offered: a 2,131-square-foot plan at $2,595,000, after an earlier listing of the same residence, at $3,600,000 and later $2,950,000, expired. The combined residence of about 4,047 square feet was listed at $6,250,000 and expired. The pattern is a clear one: Stella’s best results came early and quickly, and later sellers who started high gave up much of the difference. Every month’s figures are in our Olde Naples Market Report.
Buying Into a Newer Building
A building completed in 2024 has a short sales history, so each resale sets the benchmark for the next. We review the association budget and reserves, any open warranty items, the leasing and pet rules, how the commercial suites below share costs with the residences, and exactly which parking and storage convey, before an offer rather than after.
How Stella Compares
Stella is one of three new boutique buildings on Ninth Street South. The Cayden offers six residences of a similar size with a shared rooftop pool, and Two Ten West, with completion estimated for fall 2026, offers twelve residences with two-car garages and rooftop terraces, currently listed at 2,166 to 2,983 square feet. A few blocks south on Eighth Street South, The Huxley, by the same developer, is planned as eight estate-scale residences. Buyers who want a house instead can start with Olde Naples single-family homes.
