How Fast Is The Island Rising? Level 5 Marks the Latest Milestone
January 15, 2026 | Read Time: 2 minutes
Marking an exciting start to the new year, vertical construction continues its momentum as The Island at West Bay Club reaches its 5th level. With a new floor advancing every 12 days, the vision for this exceptional coastal offering is becoming increasingly real.

On Level Five, shear walls and columns are actively being formed following the completion of concrete pours on Levels 1 through 4. All major subgrade work is now finished, and activity is surging at the lobby level as masonry, electrical, plumbing, and critical building systems come together. Rising in tandem with vertical construction is the core elevator shaft while 100 skilled workers are on site every day to bring the building to life at an exciting pace.

A pivotal moment in the project’s timeline, The Island is introducing its latest Fast Forward Sales Initiative: Early buyers have the opportunity to secure priority residence selection, personalize their home, and enjoy immediate access to West Bay Club’s private Beach Club, Championship Golf, and resort-style amenities. This uncommon advantage in new development allows owners to experience the West Bay lifestyle well before their residence is complete. With construction on track for mid-2027 delivery, anticipation continues to build as owners and future residents look ahead to life in this elevated, private sky-level retreat.

Designed by the award-winning team at Garcia-Stromberg, The Island’s limited collection of 86 modern corner residences features expansive three- and four-bedroom plus den floorplans ranging from 3,300 to over 6,270 square feet. Beginning at $2.7 million, each home is defined by openness and a strong connection to its surroundings. Expansive glass-railed terraces extend the living space outdoors, creating the perfect setting for dining, relaxing, and taking in sweeping views of the Gulf and surrounding nature preserves.
