The Residences at Mercato Naples 
Located at the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and Tamiami Trail North, Mercato is a 53-acre urban oasis complemented by several dozen options in fine dining and fashionable boutiques. Beyond its recognition as one of Naples’ most exceptional commercial centers, The Mercato exists as a unique community made home by those who live within a 92-unit condominium development known as The Strada. Envisioned by The Lutgert Companies, one of Southwest Florida’s most esteemed and award-winning of commercial and residential development enterprises, The Mercato opened in 2007 and despite downturns in the national economy and close-out prices that exceeded more than $1 million, those condos were quickly claimed by buyers clamoring for new construction in Naples. In addition to the convenient access to outstanding shops, restaurants and social affairs, life at The Strada was made particularly appealing by the architectural quality and distinctive excellence imparted in interior elements. Wonderful amenities were also established, including a private clubhouse, game room, pool & spa and state-of-the-art fitness center. Yet, during that time, developers found that while some prospective buyers liked the location, their home preferences were in something that offered greater privacy and greater floor space. That consumer demand has been the catalyst for the creation of a new development to be known as the Residences at Mercato Naples.
