Independent market intelligence for Bay Colony’s beachfront towers, Pelican Bay residences, current availability, and long-term sales trends.
Operated by Galen Gonzalez, REALTOR®, 239 Florida at Premiere Plus Realty · Not affiliated with any association, developer or sales office
Bay Colony is a private, gated enclave within Pelican Bay in North Naples. This site is an independent guide to its buildings and market, not an official community resource.
Bay Colony sits at the northern end of Pelican Bay, behind its own gate, with a line of Gulf-front high-rise towers along Bay Colony Drive, a second row of high-rises on the Upper Clam Bay and preserve side of the road, a single mid-rise, and five villa and estate neighborhoods. Residents have access to the private Bay Colony Beach Club and, as part of Pelican Bay, to Pelican Bay’s beachfront amenities and community facilities. Membership structures and fees vary by neighborhood and should be confirmed in the association documents for any specific residence.
Building by building, Bay Colony is not one market. The six beachfront towers, the four bay-side towers and the low-rise neighborhoods differ in age, floor plate, view orientation, unit count and price per square foot — which is why this site organizes the community by building rather than treating it as a single average.
Compare towers on age, size and validated market indicators, open a building page for its history and positioning, then request current availability or a private consultation. Every figure carries an “as of” date and links to the methodology.

Data through July 7, 2026 · Methodology
A high-level comparison of the Bay Colony gated tower lifestyle against the alternatives buyers usually weigh. Deeper guides will follow.
Pelican Bay offers a wide range of condominiums and single-family homes with shared beachfront amenities; Bay Colony adds a second gate, its own beach club and a concentrated set of Gulf-front towers. Buyers typically trade a higher per-square-foot entry for privacy and beachfront immediacy.
Old Naples offers walkability to Third Street and the beach blocks, with more low-rise and single-family product; Bay Colony offers direct Gulf frontage, elevated views and full-service building operations. The deciding question is daily beach access versus a walkable town.
New downtown residences such as The Avenue (about $1,950/SF asking, computed) put owners steps from Fifth Avenue South in low-rise buildings. Bay Colony trades that street life for Gulf frontage, height and a gated setting.
Port Royal is primarily single-family estate property with private waterfront and a different ownership profile. Bay Colony towers suit owners who want lock-and-leave convenience with beachfront views rather than a private-estate footprint.
The Four Seasons Private Residences at the former Naples Beach Club add a branded, resort-serviced beachfront option; its first reported beach-house closing (May 2026) worked out to about $2,222/SF. The Biltmore’s trailing 24-month median is $1,699/SF, with a 29-year sale history.
New Naples beachfront construction is asking well above $3,000/SF at the top of the market, in exchange for new systems and contemporary plans. Established towers offer a long closed-sale history and immediate occupancy. Galen’s new-construction research covers the pipeline.
