Epique represents the culminating new residential offering within Pelican Bay, one of Naples’ most established Gulf-oriented luxury communities. Rising 19 stories with only 68 private residences, Epique combines expansive Gulf-facing homes, panoramic sunset views, an unusually comprehensive private amenity program and the lifestyle privileges associated with Pelican Bay.
Developed by Gulf Bay Development EPQ, LLC, part of the Naples-based Gulf Bay Group of Companies, Epique follows Gulf Bay’s long history of luxury development within Pelican Bay and is positioned by the developer as the community’s final new ownership opportunity.
The residential collection encompasses three distinct offerings — Estate Residences, Jardin Residences and four extraordinary Penthouses — allowing buyers to choose between substantial high-rise living, lower-floor garden-oriented residences and estate-scale penthouses with private rooftop pools.
The Estate Residences form the principal collection at Epique and are unusually large by Naples condominium standards.
Homes range from approximately 4,001 to 5,213 air-conditioned square feet, with 10-foot ceilings, expansive outdoor living spaces and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass designed to capture views west toward the Gulf of Mexico and Naples sunsets.
Residence features include:
The scale of these homes is significant. For buyers moving from a large Pelican Bay, Bay Colony or Naples single-family residence, the Estate collection provides enough interior space to function as a true primary or extended-use home rather than merely a seasonal condominium.
The Jardin Residences provide a distinctly different residential experience within Epique.
Rather than emphasizing elevation alone, the Jardin collection creates a stronger relationship with the landscaped setting and amenity environment surrounding the base of the tower. These residences offer smaller and more approachable configurations than the Estate homes while retaining access to Epique’s complete owner amenity and service platform.
That makes the Jardin collection particularly relevant for buyers who want the Epique and Pelican Bay lifestyle without requiring a 4,000- to 5,000-square-foot Estate residence.
From an advisory standpoint, this distinction matters: Jardin should not simply be viewed as an entry-level version of an Estate residence. It offers a different scale and style of ownership within the same exceptionally private 68-residence community.
At the top of Epique are just four Penthouse residences, each occupying approximately one-half of a full floor and approaching 9,700 air-conditioned square feet.
The Penthouses feature elevated 12-foot ceilings, extensive custom millwork, substantial entertaining areas and panoramic exposures toward the Gulf of Mexico. Most significantly, each Penthouse includes its own private rooftop resort environment with swimming pool, creating a level of private outdoor living rarely available in a Naples condominium.
Penthouse living at Epique includes:
For buyers comparing the largest Naples penthouses with substantial Gulf-front single-family estates, these residences occupy a very different category from the standard luxury-condominium market.
One of Epique’s most compelling differentiators is its Private Dining Club, reserved exclusively for Epique owners and their guests.
This is not simply a residents’ room with a catering kitchen. The club is conceived as a genuine private dining experience with its own culinary program, cocktails, indoor and outdoor dining environments and a separate private room available for more intimate events.
The outdoor component extends into a landscaped garden courtyard with gathering areas positioned around a reflecting pool, allowing residents to entertain without having to host every dinner or event inside their own residence.
For only 68 owners, having a true resident-exclusive dining operation is unusually significant.
It effectively gives Epique residents a private restaurant and social club within their own building.
Epique dedicates an entire level to indoor and outdoor social, fitness and recreational amenities.
The amenity collection includes:
The amenities are designed to serve only 68 residential owners, which materially changes the owner-to-amenity ratio compared with a large resort condominium containing several hundred residences.
Epique also provides private guest accommodations for residents’ visitors.
This is a particularly useful feature for owners who want to maintain a more efficient residence while still being able to host adult children, grandchildren or friends within the property.
Guest suites effectively expand the residential footprint on demand without forcing owners to permanently maintain bedrooms that may remain unused for much of the year.
For seasonal and multigenerational Naples ownership, that flexibility can be especially valuable.
The lifestyle is supported by a dedicated residential service platform centered around Epique’s staffed reception and concierge environment.
The property provides 24/7 staffing and monitoring, with residential personnel available to greet residents and guests and coordinate the various conveniences and services offered throughout the building.
For owners dividing their time between multiple residences, this creates the professional oversight and lock-and-leave convenience expected at the upper end of the Naples market.
The building itself is only part of the ownership proposition.
Epique owners also become residents of Pelican Bay, giving them access to one of Naples’ most comprehensive coastal lifestyle communities.
Pelican Bay encompasses approximately 88 acres of parks and recreation, along with beach access and an extensive program of outdoor activities. Residents have access to the community’s chauffeured beach-tram system along with recreational opportunities that include tennis, boating, paddleboarding, canoeing and biking.
This provides a very different experience from buying a luxury condominium in an isolated tower.
An Epique owner receives both:
a highly amenitized 68-residence private building
and
the broader Pelican Bay lifestyle surrounding it.
Pelican Bay is particularly known for its private Gulf beach experience.
The community’s beach-tram network provides convenient transportation through the preserve toward the shoreline, giving residents access to the Gulf without depending upon public beach parking or driving away from the community.
For Epique buyers, that means the property combines elevated Gulf views with access to Pelican Bay’s established beach infrastructure and coastal recreational environment.
That distinction is worth emphasizing when comparing Epique with Naples developments located near the Gulf but outside a comprehensive beachfront community.
Golf is available separately through Club Pelican Bay, which offers 27 holes of championship golf.
Club membership is distinct from condominium ownership and should be confirmed according to current membership availability, initiation requirements and dues, but Epique’s location creates an appealing combination for buyers who want Gulf-oriented condominium living together with the possibility of private golf nearby.
Pelican Bay also benefits from one of the strongest cultural and retail locations in Naples.
Residents are convenient to Artis—Naples, home to the Naples Philharmonic and The Baker Museum, as well as Waterside Shops, where luxury retailers include many of the world’s most recognized fashion and jewelry houses.
Nearby destinations also include:
This combination of beach, culture, shopping, dining and recreation is a major reason Pelican Bay has remained one of Naples’ most desirable established luxury communities.
This is the positioning point I would emphasize most strongly.
Epique is not simply another high-rise being added to Pelican Bay.
The developer positions it as the final new ownership opportunity within Pelican Bay, giving the project a scarcity component that cannot simply be replicated with another parcel later.
Pelican Bay already contains many of Naples’ established luxury towers. Epique provides the opportunity to combine that established community with:
For a buyer who specifically wants new construction within Pelican Bay, that scarcity is particularly meaningful.
Most existing Pelican Bay high-rises were constructed decades before Epique.
Many offer exceptional locations and Gulf views, but Epique provides a dramatically different physical product: larger open floor plans, extensive glass, modern kitchens and bathrooms, current smart-home technology and an amenity environment conceived for today's ultra-luxury buyer.
That makes Epique particularly relevant for someone who loves Pelican Bay but does not want to renovate an older condominium to achieve contemporary design and infrastructure.
It can also appeal to an existing Pelican Bay owner who wants to remain within the community while substantially upgrading the residential experience.
Epique is currently under construction, with current project tracking targeting completion in approximately 2028.
The developer currently markets Estate Residences from over $6.5 million, while Penthouse pricing is available upon request. Pricing varies based upon residence collection, floor, floor plan, size, exposure and individual features.
Remaining inventory, construction timing and pricing are subject to change as the project progresses.

Epique is a 19-story luxury residential tower offering Estate, Penthouse, and Jardin residences. The developer markets it as the final new ownership opportunity within Pelican Bay.
Epique is in Pelican Bay in North Naples, close to the Gulf, Waterside Shops, Artis—Naples and the Baker Museum. Its setting combines Gulf-facing views with access to Pelican Bay community amenities.
The tower is planned with 68 residences, creating a relatively low number of homes for its height and amenity program. Current availability may be limited, so request a dated inventory sheet.
Plans are organized into Gulf-front Estates, upper-level Penthouses and Jardin residences with distinctive outdoor living. Size, ceiling height, elevator arrival, garage allocation and terraces differ by collection.
Planned owner spaces include a landscaped pool deck, fitness club, club and card rooms, private screening room, golf simulator, game room, salon and boardroom. Final access rules and reservation charges are set by the association documents.
Epique is within Pelican Bay, whose community offerings include private beach facilities, trams and extensive racquet amenities. Buyers should confirm current Pelican Bay Foundation membership, assessments and owner or guest access directly in the governing documents.
Prices depend on collection, elevation, exposure and size. Pricing, deposits, Epique HOA estimates, Pelican Bay assessments, insurance and incentives are subject to change; request a complete dated carrying-cost worksheet.
The official site currently states anticipated completion in Q1 2028. Construction schedules can change, and the purchase agreement controls delivery windows, developer extensions, and closing notice.
