In its latest report, WPBF 25 said the development’s ten luxury villas are advancing through major construction milestones. The update says Villas 7 and 8 have their foundations in place, while Villas 9 and 10 are close to finished, putting the residential portion well beyond the groundbreaking stage seen earlier this year.

The City of Fort Pierce’s amended phasing plan calls for a 148-room hotel, retail space, restaurants, condos, residences and a parking garage.
The city-approved timetable sets July 11, 2028, as the deadline for the first phase, which includes the hotel and supporting infrastructure. Phase two, including additional buildings and the garage, is scheduled for completion by May 29, 2029, while the final phase is due by Nov. 13, 2029.
