What’s New at The Island at West Bay Club This Season
August 4, 2026 | Read Time: 4 minutes
The Island at West Bay Club is entering a defining stage. As the tower rises over The Gulf and buyer activity accelerates, the decisions being made now carry more weight, from selecting the right residence to shaping the details of a future home.
For buyers who first considered The Island earlier in its development, this season offers a distinctly different view of the opportunity. Progress is visible, the market response is becoming clearer, and the project is moving closer to the moment when plans give way to place.
That shift is creating fresh energy around The Island and a timely reason for serious prospects to look again.

Construction Progress Brings the Vision Into View
The Island is no longer defined by renderings alone. With vertical construction advancing past the 21st floor and toward a September topping out, the tower’s presence within its private coastal setting at West Bay Club is becoming unmistakable.
Kolter Urban’s experience is helping bring The Island to life, while Garcia Stromberg’s architectural vision is becoming more visible with every new level of the tower. The design makes the most of The Island’s remarkable setting. With only 86 residences and just four homes per floor, every residence enjoys a corner position, floor-to-ceiling glass and wraparound terraces that open to views of Estero Bay, the championship golf course, protected preserves and The Gulf.
As construction climbs, the character of The Island is coming into focus: spacious, light-filled homes, a sense of privacy and an easy connection to the water and landscape all around it.

Sales Momentum Reflects What Buyers Value Now
Buyer interest is building right alongside the tower, and the energy around The Island is becoming easier to feel. Each corner residence gives you room to gather, unwind and take in the views from spaces that feel open, personal and unmistakably your own.
“Buyer activity at The Island is becoming more decisive as construction advances and the range of available residences evolves. Prospects are looking closely at elevation, views of The Gulf and the opportunity to shape their interiors, which is why this season has become an important point in the selection process,” said Ed Jahn, Senior Vice President, Kolter Urban.
The location within West Bay Club adds even more to the appeal, placing residents in an established Estero community with convenient access to Bonita Springs and the broader Southwest Florida coast. For buyers who first discovered The Island earlier in its journey, this season brings a fresh reason to look again. More of the vision is coming to life, the sales story is gaining momentum and the opportunity to choose and personalize a residence is becoming more immediate.

Design Selections Bring Future Residences to Life
As construction moves forward, the opportunity to personalize your residence becomes increasingly meaningful. At The Island Sales Gallery, a dedicated Selections Coordinator will guide you through curated interior finishes, materials and design details that allow your home to reflect your tastes from the start. This stage offers a valuable advantage: the chance to make thoughtful choices now, while key selections are still available and your future residence is taking shape.

New Golf Leadership at West Bay Club
West Bay Club is welcoming a new era of golf with Ed Clark joining as Director of Golf. He brings fresh energy, seasoned leadership and a member-first approach to one of the community’s most valued experiences.
