Rosewood Residences Naples Will Be the Miracle Mile's First New Condo to Finish. What Does That Mean for the Street Around It?

Rosewood Residences Naples is scheduled to be the first of the Miracle Mile's post-Hurricane Ian condominium redevelopments to finish. The rest of the corridor is on later schedules. One neighbor is planned directly across Gulf Shore Boulevard North. Three more are spread along the same 1.3 miles, and their delivery targets run from summer 2028 into what works out to early 2029. The City of Naples, for its part, has said the major infrastructure work under the road is five years away at best. A buyer weighing Rosewood is weighing a finished home and also deciding to arrive first on a street that is still being rebuilt.

That build order is what sets Rosewood apart from every other new-construction choice on this stretch. To see why, start with how this many sites came up for redevelopment within a few years of each other.

Why One Street Is Rebuilding All at Once

Gulfshore Business describes the Miracle Mile as a stretch of Gulf Shore Boulevard North running south from Doctors Pass to Naples Beach Club, a Four Seasons Resort. Its older condominiums were mostly low-rise buildings, and Bahama Club, Gulf Shore Colony Club, Harbour Club, The Mansion House and Park Place Club have all been razed.

Ian's storm surge started it. The longer-running pressure came from what older buildings cost to keep up after the Surfside collapse. Kolter Urban President Brian Van Slyke, whose firm is building two of the replacement projects, explained it to Gulfshore Business:

"A lot of these older buildings have a lot of deferred maintenance, and Surfside brought that to light. With a change in the [Florida] Statutes, there's kind of a realization of what it's going to take to bring these properties up to current standards. So, that definitely factors into the board's decision whether to make a further investment or to sell."

Each association board made that call on its own, but the storm and the statewide rule change hit all of them in the same years. So the sales came close together, and the new buildings went up close together too. They did not start on the same day, though, and that is why Rosewood stands alone at the front.

The Order of Completion

Rosewood replaces the 50-year-old Mansion House, eight two-story cooperative condominiums on more than 5 acres with nearly 500 feet of beach at 1601 Gulf Shore Blvd., just north of Lowdermilk Park. The Ronto Group, working with Wheelock Street Capital and Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, topped out the buildings on Aug. 1, 2025 and is targeting completion at the end of 2026. The developer's own site greets visitors with "Welcoming Owners 2026."

Here are the other projects on the corridor, using the targets their developers gave Gulfshore Business:

If 2020 Gulf Shore starts in spring 2027 and takes the full 22 months, it finishes in early 2029. Rosewood's first owners would then have two seasons, perhaps a third, with active construction somewhere on their stretch of the boulevard.

The Project Directly Across the Street

One of those sites is very close. Harbour House sits at 1624 Gulf Shore Blvd. N., on the bay side, almost directly opposite Rosewood's 1601 address. Borelli Construction is targeting a fall groundbreaking for its three waterfront condo buildings and expects them to take 20 months to build.

The finished building is meant to be quieter than what it replaces. Harbour Club had 21 units. Harbour House will have 14 boutique residences designed by MHK Architecture, and each one gets a private garage, a personal elevator, and outdoor living space with pools and spas. "We reduced the density there quite a bit," Parker Borelli told Gulfshore Business.

For a Rosewood owner, that means about 20 months of construction across the road, followed by a neighbor with fewer homes than before. Most of the corridor follows the same pattern. The disruption is temporary, and what replaces it is either lower in density or built to a higher standard than the older buildings.

The Public Road Runs on a Slower Clock

The private projects all have delivery dates. The street they share does not.

At the City Council workshop on Sept. 14, 2026, council and staff took up the conceptual streetscape plan for Gulf Shore Boulevard North. The re-formed Miracle Mile Committee asked for something smaller than the 2024 proposals, which staff said "essentially eliminated all of the parking." The committee's requests were more landscaping and plantings in the medians, ADA fixes for cracked sidewalks, a little more green space at the ends of the diagonal parking rows north of Lowdermilk Park, and no brick. In the city manager's summary of the committee's position, "We want the pallet to stay the same."

The bigger work is underneath the road. City Manager Gary Young told council that "with the number of projects we already have going, it's five years out at best." Staff will analyze the water, stormwater and sanitary sewer lines and expect to report back "probably within six months," which puts that update around spring 2027. Council's near-term direction was to get plantings in the ground "without over committing financially."

So the order on the boulevard runs like this:

1. Rosewood's private grounds and building, finished first.
2. Short-term median plantings and green space, on the city's near-term list.
3. The neighboring condominiums, finishing from summer 2028 onward.
4. The utilities and any full streetscape rebuild, five years out at best.

What Rosewood's First Owners Are Buying

Arriving first matters most for a building that is meant to be self-contained, and Rosewood is.

Anthony Solomon, president and owner of The Ronto Group, made the scarcity case to Gulfshore Business: "There are really not too many parcels in Naples at all of that size on the beach." The 42 residences come in three-, four-, five- and six-bedroom plans from 4,226 to 9,673 square feet, and Solomon said most will be seasonal homes. Rosewood is a standalone branded residence with no hotel. Its services include Rosewood-managed food service for residents and their guests, Rosewood-trained staff, and Rosewood Reserve benefits at Rosewood properties. The project's amenity program lists pools, spas, cabanas, bocce, firepits, beach access, resident lounges, fitness, sauna, steam and a treatment room.

A neighboring developer drew the same distinction. Lee Golub of Golub & Company described his bay-side 2020 Gulf Shore this way: "It's not an amenitized project like a Rosewood or the Naples Beach Club. We just don't have the space." When the street outside is still changing, more than 5 acres of finished pools, dining and beach service inside the property does a lot of the work.

The street does already have one finished anchor. Van Slyke pointed to Naples Beach Club, a Four Seasons Resort, as "an additional entertainment and dining opportunity very close by" for Miracle Mile condos.

On pricing, our Rosewood Residences Naples page reflects a developer availability sheet dated October 12, 2026. It shows standard residences offered from $14 million to $23 million and Penthouse Five at $50 million. For comparison, Ronto's August 2025 release gave a range of $12.75 million to $45 million across the whole program, including five penthouses. The two figures describe different sets of homes, so they are best read as two snapshots rather than a measured price change. Availability changes, and any specific residence should be confirmed directly.

Being first on a street that is still rebuilding changes how you judge a residence: which views face which construction sites, which seasons you plan to be in residence, and how much of daily life the building itself handles.
