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 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.
