Naples New Construction in 2026: What's Still Selling vs. Sold Out

“New construction in Naples” is a moving target — communities sell out, builders open final phases, and what was buildable last year is resale today. Here’s an honest 2026 map: where you can still buy new, and where that ship has sailed. (Builder inventory changes constantly — verify current availability.)

Trying to decide which community is the best fit for you? That’s a different question — see our best new-construction communities in Naples, by buyer type. This guide answers a narrower one: what’s still selling brand-new, and what’s already sold out.

Where you can still buy new

Esplanade by the Islands — Taylor Morrison, all ages, East Naples. Still building out toward ~1,250 homes, in single-family, twin-villa, and coach-home product, around a resort amenity campus (no golf, so fees stay focused on wellness and dining). The flexible, something-for-most-budgets new-construction pick. Deep dives at esplanadenaples.org. Lely Resort — final phases — Stock Development’s last neighborhoods (Lakoya, Tasori, Sunstone) represent the newest construction in this huge, established resort community; the rest is now resale. A way to get new inside a fully built-out, amenity-rich community.

Caymas — STOCK Development & Pulte, all ages, East Naples. A 780-acre gated lakefront community off Collier Boulevard with a ~30,000 sq ft clubhouse phasing in, pickleball, and a kayak launch — no golf. Pricing skews higher (STOCK luxury alongside Pulte villas-to-estates). The marquee new lakefront option.

Seven Shores — Toll Brothers, all ages, in Hacienda Lakes off Collier Boulevard. Villas and single-family homes — notably on natural gas — around “The Meridian” amenity center. A newer, quieter alternative to the bigger resort communities.

Naples Reserve — iStar, all ages, off US-41 East. Built around a 125-acre boatable lake (real motorboats allowed) with a private beach island and the Island Club; homes from villas in the $400Ks to estates past $1.8M. The water-lover’s new-construction pick.

Valencia Sky — GL Homes, 55+, East Naples near downtown. GL’s newest active-adult community (construction began 2025): one-story Valencia homes, a resort clubhouse with multiple pools, pickleball, and an on-site restaurant. The newest 55+ option alongside Valencia Trails.

Custom teardown-rebuilds — in established, no-HOA neighborhoods like Naples Park and Old Naples, an active rebuild market lets you put up a modern, current-code custom home on an established lot near the beach. More work and more cost, but unmatched location.

Beyond these, the East Naples / Collier Boulevard corridor continues to open newer master-planned phases — see our new-construction overview for the current landscape.

Where it’s sold out (now resale)

Be aware that several of the most-searched “new” communities are done building: Greyhawk (Pulte) and Valencia Trails (GL Homes’ 55+ flagship — now built out, with GL’s new-home sales moved to nearby Valencia Sky) have sold out and trade resale, as have many earlier 2010s–2020s communities. That’s not bad news — resale often means mature landscaping, finished pools, and better true value — but if your heart is set on brand-new, cross them off the new-construction list and read our resale-vs-new breakdown.

How to choose (and protect yourself)

Decide on total move-in cost and timeline, not the base sticker — a new build’s lot premium and upgrades can erase its apparent price advantage over a comparable resale. And on any new build, bring your own representation early: the on-site agent represents the builder, and builder compensation to a buyer’s agent is now negotiated deal by deal (see how builder commissions actually work in 2026).
