Naples Auto Vault Advances Into Vertical Construction

Naples, Florida — January 15, 2026 — Naples Auto Vault has officially entered vertical construction, marking a major milestone in the development of one of Naples’ most anticipated luxury automotive storage and lifestyle destinations. With full site clearing, infrastructure work, and preparation now complete, today’s on-site ceremony formally recognized the transition into vertical construction, setting the stage for a late 2026 delivery.

The private, invitation-only event brought together leadership and project partners including The Lutgert Companies, Lutgert Construction, Clive Daniels Home, David Corban Architects, and the Naples Auto Vault team — all of whom have played integral roles in advancing the project from concept through execution.

While often referred to as a “groundbreaking,” today’s milestone represents Phase Two of construction, following months of behind-the-scenes work that included site clearing, grading, utilities, and privacy wall construction. With that work finalized, crews are now mobilizing for vertical progress on the first phase of the building.

“Today marks a natural progression for the project,” said Erik Lutgert, President of The Lutgert Companies. “The foundation is in place, the site is ready, and we’re now beginning the vertical phase where Naples Auto Vault truly starts to take shape.”

Construction is being led by Lutgert Construction, whose team has been involved throughout the early phases to ensure continuity from utility installation through building pad preparation. The project’s interior vision is being delivered in collaboration with Clive Daniels Home, with a focus on the ability to personalize each collectible condominium to its owner’s preferences and lifestyle needs.

“This phase of construction is where the real value of the project becomes tangible,” said Kristin Cartwright, Chief Marketing Officer for The Lutgert Companies. “Naples Auto Vault is being built to the same rigorous quality standards as high-end residential and commercial developments, with hurricane-rated, storm-resilient construction designed to protect what matters most to our owners. These vaults are not simply storage — they are purpose-built environments created to safeguard prized collections and passion projects, delivering long-term durability, security, and peace of mind.”

Naples Auto Vault is designed to go well beyond conventional vehicle storage, offering owners highly customizable private spaces within a secure, architecturally refined environment. Early phases of construction have been carefully sequenced to preserve flexibility for owners who secured units during pre-construction.

According to Jackie Nelson, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Sales Advisor for Naples Auto Vault, the shift into vertical construction underscores both progress and urgency.

“With site work complete and construction going vertical, the project is now firmly in its build phase,” Nelson said. “For our owners, this reinforces confidence in the timeline and delivery. For those still exploring opportunities, it also signals that the window for extensive pre-construction customization is narrowing as the structure takes shape.”

With delivery of the first phase anticipated in late 2026, the project is now entering its most visible and dynamic period of development. As structural elements begin to rise, Naples Auto Vault continues to evolve from a carefully planned concept into a physical destination purpose-built for collectors, enthusiasts, and those who value exceptional design and execution.

Ongoing construction updates and progress milestones will be shared as work advances. For more information on pricing and current availability, visit NaplesAutoVault.com.
