Four floor plans repeat up the building: two-bedroom-plus-den layouts of 2,760 and 2,980 square feet, and three-bedroom-plus-den layouts of 3,380 and 3,450 square feet, with three or three and a half baths. Every residence has a direct view of the Gulf. After three decades, original kitchens and bathrooms are often what separates one Brighton unit from another at sale. This page explains how each room is remodeled in a building of this age. ![The Brighton at Bay Colony bathroom remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pelican-Bay-Bathroom-After-c.webp)After · Bay Colony bathroom remodel ## Brighton Bathroom Remodel Primary baths in towers of the early 1990s were commonly finished with small-format tile, mirrored walls, a deck-mounted tub and a separate shower behind a framed door. In a Brighton residence, most owners convert the tub area into a larger walk-in shower, add a frameless glass panel and replace the vanity with a modern unit that offers more drawer storage. In the three-and-a-half-bath plans, the half bath becomes an easy place to add character with stone, wallpaper or a sculptural sink. Heated floors and a niche cut into the shower wall are inexpensive extras that owners appreciate every day, and both are easiest to add while the room is open. Thirty-year-old plumbing deserves attention while the walls are open. We look at shut-off valves, supply lines and drain condition during the free LiDAR scan and walk-through. Any change that requires coring the concrete slab, such as relocating a toilet, needs approval from the Brighton's association, and new hard flooring has to sit on sound-rated underlayment. Elevator time, work hours and debris removal are scheduled with management, and the Collier County permit is filed once the association approves. Bathroom remodels at Brighton start from $47,000 per bath. Price Your Brighton *Bathroom.* Use the Bay Colony bathroom builder to plan your Brighton bathroom and see the starting price.

In a Brighton residence, removing the soffits and opening one wall to the great room changes the whole feel of the home and carries the Gulf view to the stove. We confirm from the building drawings and the LiDAR scan which walls are free of structure and shared risers before the design goes further. Lighting completes the change. Recessed fixtures placed for the old layout rarely suit an open kitchen, so we redesign the ceiling plan around the new island and work zones. With the layout open, owners usually choose flat or slim-shaker cabinetry, a quartzite or quartz island with seating, a full-height backsplash and integrated appliances. The two-bedroom plans benefit from a pantry wall that adds storage without crowding the room, while the larger three-bedroom layouts can take a bigger island and a coffee or bar station. Everything is shown first in a photo-real 3D render, selected in our showroom and cut to the scan, so install days in the building stay short. Kitchen remodels at Brighton start from $120,000. ![The Brighton at Bay Colony kitchen remodel after photo](https://remodelbycuttingedge.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pelican-Bay-Kitchen-Remodel-Before-Cutting-Edge-Kitchen-Remodel-2-c.webp)After · Bay Colony kitchen remodel Price Your Brighton *Kitchen.* Open up your Brighton kitchen in the Bay Colony kitchen builder and compare finish choices.

We plan it all.
