Naples Square

Two stages and a rooftop restaurant sit within half a mile of Naples Square. Gulfshore Playhouse opened its Baker Theatre and Education Center at 100 Goodlette-Frank Road South in October 2024, about 0.2 to 0.3 miles from the buildings, with a professional season, pre-show discussions and actor talkbacks. The Naples Players perform at the Sugden Theatre on Fifth Avenue South, about 0.4 to 0.5 miles off. For dinner first, Limón, on the roof of the AC Hotel, serves Mediterranean food inspired by the Amalfi Coast, inside or out.

That hotel belongs to the development. The Ronto Group and Wheelock Street Capital laid out Naples Square as a mixed-use corner of downtown Naples, where Fifth Avenue South meets Goodlette-Frank Road, with the AC Hotel Naples 5th Avenue at 455 12th Street South as its hotel. The homes are condominiums at 1030, 1035, 1130 and 1135 3rd Avenue South and 233 12th Street South. They went up one building at a time, and the last of them was still being built in 2026.

What is close to Naples Square?

The hotel is about 0.2 to 0.3 miles away. Mornings, its AC Cafe sells grab-and-go food and coffee; Limón, upstairs, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Baker Theatre also runs youth and adult classes.

Bayfront and Tin City are about 0.25 to 0.35 miles away. The developer describes them as waterfront retail, restaurant and recreation venues across the street from the hotel. Fifth Avenue South is long enough to measure twice: about 0.3 to 0.4 miles to its corner with Eighth Street South, and about 0.7 to 0.9 miles to its western end at Third Street South.

Cambier Park and Baker Park, both city parks, are each about half a mile away along the streets. Wynn's Market, a grocery on 9th Street North, is about half a mile (0.6 miles by road). NCH Baker Hospital on 7th Street North is about 0.7 to 0.8 miles along the streets, or 0.9 by road.

How far is the rest of Naples by car?

Short drives, with no traffic. Third Street South at Broad Avenue South is about 1.2 to 1.4 miles. Naples Pier is about 1.65 miles by road, roughly 5 minutes, and Lowdermilk Park on Gulf Shore Boulevard North about 2.3 miles, roughly 6. The developer puts the pier at a 9-minute drive from Encore, which fits once signals are counted.

Farther out, by road, timed without traffic and longer in season:

• Publix on Tamiami Trail North, about 2.1 miles
• Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens, about 1.9 miles (5 minutes)
• Naples Botanical Garden, about 3.6 miles (8 minutes)
• Waterside Shops, about 5.3 miles, and Artis-Naples, about 5.6 (11 minutes each)
• Southwest Florida International Airport terminal, about 36 miles (48 minutes)

What amenities does each building have?

Each building generation was planned with its own pool and gathering rooms. Quattro, at 1130 3rd Avenue South, was planned with a landscaped amenity deck: a pool and hot tub, shade cabanas, trellised seating, a firepit, two grilling areas and a covered bar with a large-screen television. The deck opens onto a club room with a bar and a billiards room.

Encore, at 233 12th Street South, will be built around a landscaped courtyard. The plans show a lap pool of more than 100 feet with ledge loungers, a spa, a fire table, a lounge area and a pavilion with a shaded communal dining table and a grilling bar. Indoors there will be a yoga studio inside a fitness center, plus a social room where a catering kitchen sits beside large-screen televisions, billiards and Wi-Fi. The developer says that room will host owners' social events and private parties.

What kinds of homes are there, and what have they sold for?

Condominiums of 2 to 4 bedrooms, in buildings of three ages. The three earliest, on 3rd Avenue South, date from 2015 to 2020, with homes of about 1,250 to about 2,900 square feet. Quattro, the fourth building, was finished for the 2023 season, and its homes run about 2,200 to about 3,450 square feet.

Encore, planned as the final building, has fifteen residences, with delivery planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. They occupy the second and third levels over a ground level with no homes, and those on the third floor get private rooftop terraces. Each comes with a private garage for two to four cars with a 40-amp outlet, and the building is planned with controlled-access entry and secure underground parking. Plans start at about 2,700 square feet.

Between April 2025 and September 2026, homes sold from about $1 million to around $4.6 million. In the three earlier buildings they sold from about $1 million to about $4 million; at Quattro they sold from about $2.2 million to around $4.6 million. Encore had no sales in that period.

What are the association fees?

Budget around $2,100 a month in the three earlier buildings and Quattro. Treat it as the high end. Many owners pay less, because fees run lower in the earlier buildings than at Quattro, but hold to that number until you have the budget for the building you're buying in.

Encore has no fee figure of its own. Its developer lists what the fee there is meant to cover: "The HOA fees will include all amenities, common area cleaning and maintenance, landscaping, irrigation, property management, gas, water and sewer, trash removal, and insurance for the building and reserves. These monthly fees range depending on the square footage of your residence." That list belongs to Encore's planned budget, and has no bearing on the figure above.

Can you rent out a home or keep pets?

At Encore, the developer's answers are short. "Rentals are allowed, with a 180-day minimum." And: "Two domestic pets are allowed, and behavior restrictions apply."

Those rules are Encore's alone. The three earlier buildings and Quattro don't post theirs online, and they may differ. If you plan to lease a home out, have that building's rules in hand first.

Why does the building matter more than the address?

Because at Naples Square you are buying into one building, and daily life follows it. The pool, the party room, the fee and the leasing rules all go with the building and can differ between them. The Quattro deck and the Encore courtyard belong to those buildings: don't plan around either unless the home you want is in it.

These are condominiums, so each building's declaration, rules and budget reach a buyer during the purchase; none is posted online. For any one building, those documents outrank this page.
