Pulled from NABOR MLS, Naples Area Real Estate transaction reports, and the 2026 Infinity tower opening data. Use this to map your kitchen investment to likely resale at year 3, 5, and 7 — especially in a comp set being re-set by Infinity’s opening. 2021$1.40M 2022$1.75M 2023$1.95M 2024$2.10M 2025$2.25M 2026 PROJ$2.55M The Colony spans a wide comp-set range in 2025: **Navona condos $925K, Sorrento end-units ~$1M, Palermo 3rd floor $1.15M, La Scala 5th floor $2.2M, Altaira 8th floor $2.3M**. The game-changer: **Infinity at The Colony opened in 2026** (Ronto Group + Wheelock Capital, 22-story, 96 residences, 3,000–4,100 sqft, pricing from high $2M).

About The Colony Homes We Remodel ## Every The Colony Kitchen RemodelStarts Here. The Colony at Pelican Landing is an **exclusive gated enclave within the larger Pelican Landing master-planned community**, developed originally by **WCI Communities** as Phase 2 of Pelican Landing with a focus on high-rise residences and custom estates. The community is centered on an **18-hole par-72 championship golf course designed by Jerry Pate**, and offers residents access to The Colony Bay Club (residents-only dining on Estero Bay) as well as the full Pelican Landing amenity set — including the 34-acre private Big Hickory Island beach park. The Colony housing stock is anchored by **7 high-rise towers all developed by WCI**: La Scala (largest floor plates, 3,510–7,000 sqft), Palermo (upper floors most exclusive), Treviso, Florencia, Sorrento, Navona (lowest condo fees), and Altaira (WCI’s newest, completed 2017). Custom estate neighborhoods include Tuscany Isle and Messina Court. Mid-rise condominium neighborhoods include Castella, Cielo, and Terzetto. Villa and single-family neighborhoods include Bellagio, Ponza, Villa Trevi, Addison Place, and Las Palmas. The game-changer: **Infinity at The Colony** — developed by Ronto Group + Wheelock Capital, opened 2026 — a 22-story tower with 96 residences (3,000–4,100 sqft, pricing from high $2M, top 2025 pre-construction sales $4.4M–$4.5M). Infinity is being marketed as “a resort within a resort.” For kitchen remodels, The Colony presents the Infinity Effect: the 2026 opening is **resetting buyer expectations across every existing WCI tower**. Good-tier renovations ($68K–$86K) work well for Navona, Sorrento, Florencia mid-floor units. Better-tier renovations ($101K–$130K) dominate Palermo, Treviso, Altaira, and mid-rise condos (Castella, Cielo, Terzetto). Best-tier renovations ($147K–$199K) match La Scala estate-scale units (3,510–7,000 sqft) and Tuscany Isle / Messina Court custom estates. Infinity residents typically pursue targeted 5-year upgrades with commissioned European finishes. Every Colony renovation factors in Colony ARC, Pelican Landing master ARC, building-specific board approval, and Lee County permitting. Ready to Start Your The Colony Kitchen Remodel?

Do I need board approval for a kitchen remodel in my Colony tower? Yes — every Colony high-rise tower (La Scala, Palermo, Treviso, Florencia, Sorrento, Navona, Altaira, Infinity) requires building-specific board approval for kitchen renovations. Typical requirements: architectural drawings, $2M contractor insurance, licensed contractor registration, move-in/move-out scheduling for demo and deliveries, and 4-8 weeks for board review. Single-family Tuscany Isle and Messina Court require Colony ARC + Pelican Landing master ARC for exterior changes. We handle all submissions. How does Infinity opening in 2026 affect my older tower’s resale value? The Infinity effect is real: new construction at $4.5M+ for 3,000–4,100 sqft resets every older tower’s comp set. Older WCI towers (La Scala, Palermo, Treviso, Florencia, Sorrento, Navona, Altaira) now need to compete on updated interiors since Infinity’s 2026 finishes define the current luxury baseline. A thoughtful Better-tier renovation ($101K–$130K) of an older tower restores its position relative to the new Infinity baseline, typically returning 70–76% ROI. What’s the right budget if I’m planning to sell in 3 years? At The Colony’s $2.25M 2025 median and a 3-year hold, budget depends on tower. Navona, Sorrento, Florencia: Good tier $68K–$86K. Palermo, Treviso, Altaira mid-floor: Better tier $101K–$130K. La Scala 3,510+ sqft units and Altaira penthouses: Best tier $130K–$159K. Tuscany Isle / Messina Court custom estates: $130K–$199K+. Infinity residents typically focus on targeted 5-year upgrade refreshes vs. full renovations. Is The Colony Golf & Country Club membership required? No — The Colony Golf & Country Club membership is optional, available to residents for an additional fee. The club features an 18-hole par-72 Jerry Pate-designed course, tennis courts, swimming pool, and fitness center. Residents also have full access to Pelican Landing’s amenity set (beach park, community center, tennis, pickleball, bocce, kayak park) without The Colony membership. Homes sold with transferable Colony membership command modest premium. How long does a Colony kitchen remodel take from contract to walkthrough? Good-tier mid-floor projects (Navona, Sorrento, Florencia): a few weeks. Better-tier Palermo, Treviso, Altaira projects: a few weeks. Best-tier La Scala, Infinity, and Tuscany Isle estate projects with commissioned European cabinetry and full structural reconfig: a few weeks. European millwork fabrication alone runs a few weeks. Peak-season (December–April) building restrictions on demo and heavy deliveries affect scheduling — we plan around them. Can I renovate during tower peak-season residency? Most Colony towers restrict demo, heavy deliveries, and construction noise during peak season (typically December 1 through April 30). Light finishing work may be permitted. We schedule heavy demo and structural phases for May–November and coordinate finishing phases around peak-season restrictions. For renovations starting October or later, we typically complete pre-demo preparation in early fall and pause demo until May. Will a kitchen remodel trigger a property tax reassessment? Florida’s Save Our Homes cap protects homesteaded primary residences from taxable-value increases above 3% per year. An investment or second-home Colony property may see a taxable-value adjustment at the next Lee County Property Appraiser cycle. Given Colony comps running $925K–$4.5M+, substantial renovations can shift assessed value materially. Confirm with your CPA. Is InvisaCook allowed in Colony towers? Yes across every Colony tower we’ve worked in. InvisaCook is a recessed induction cooktop hidden beneath stone — no exterior venting change, no gas-line modification, no board-triggering feature. Particularly well-suited for high-rise towers where gas access may be complicated or outright unavailable. We’re Southwest Florida’s exclusive authorized dealer with installations across La Scala, Palermo, Treviso, Altaira, and other Colony towers. 9 YrsBest of Houzz 4.9★38 Reviews 500+Projects Done 80+Communities FreeLiDAR + 3D Scan Continue Your The Colony Project ## Planning More Than a Kitchen?
