Course Change

The Lutgert Cos. made its mark developing high-rise condo towers in Naples beginning in the early 1970s, largely pioneering luxury multifamily living in Southwest Florida.

The 760-acre tract of waterfront land company founder Raymond Lutgert acquired in 1964 to hold those high rises set another precedent, too, as the first-ever planned unit development in Florida.

Between 1971 and 2007, Lutgert developed 25 residential towers in all, in Naples' tony Park Shore community and Bonita Springs.
