Shell Point Island Commons

Shell Point Island Commons is the second project in Phase I of the retirement community’s master plan, a 4-story, 152,000-square-foot building on 7.23 acres adjacent to the Caloosahatchee River.

Construction began in February 2025 for the $76.1 million Town Center, which will house Shell Point’s administration, current island amenities, and serve as a hurricane shelter for Independent Living residents, replacing structures damaged by Hurricane Ian. Built atop a parking level and designed to withstand 200 mph winds, the facility will feature 20-foot ceilings, elevated generators, and resilient infrastructure to maintain critical operations such as the kitchen, dining, and air conditioning during severe weather. Additional amenities include a community store, resort dining restaurant, 30-room guest house, and other resident-focused spaces, with completion scheduled for March 2027.
