A Strong Foundation. A Grand Design. A Lasting Value.
When Raymond L. Lutgert arrived in Southwest Florida in 1964, Naples was a small fishing village with miles of uninhabited beaches. As he gazed across the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico, Raymond envisioned a new kind of community. A community that would transform 760 acres with 1¼ miles of beachfront into Park Shore, one of the most prestigious communities in all of Florida.
Some 40 years later, the Lutgert legacy has expanded to include 17 luxurious high-rise condominiums, 5 beach-side parks and numerous commercial properties all bearing the unique architecture that has come to be associated with Lutgert developments.
In addition to Mercato, The Lutgert Companies most current developments are Estuary at Grey Oaks and Bonita Bay Highrises.
Residents at Estuary at Grey Oaks are provided the seclusion of a private estate with amenities that only a prestigious country club can offer: three private golf courses, two clubhouses, professional tennis and fitness facilities, residential concierge services, 24-hour manned security and much more. With its incomparable setting and remarkably low density, Estuary affords the ultimate in serenity and privacy. Just 185 families are fortunate enough to call Estuary home. Each residence exemplifies the Lutgert Companies uncompromising standards for luxury, originality, comfort and unparalleled quality.
Bonita Bay has been included among Travel + Leisure Golf's top 100 golf communities in America each year since 2006 and Links Magazine's 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09 lists of America's Premier Sotheby's International Realty. More than 1,400 acres of the 2,400-acre community is devoted to open space, including lakes, nature-preserve areas and 12 miles of biking and walking paths. Residents enjoy three waterfront recreational areas within the community and a private beach park on the Gulf of Mexico.
Together with his son Scott, Raymond has created more than just places to live or venues for companies to conduct business in. They have created a way of life. And throughout this venture, they have done so with a commitment to excellence and a promise of integrity. The result is a world-renowned reputation as developers of exceptional projects with long lasting value.
The Lutgert family's vision and passion now runs 3 generations deep and continues to set the standard for the development of both residential and commercial properties.
