Plescia Construction & Development is a commercial general contractor and construction management firm building across Collier County — Southwest Florida’s most affluent market, anchored by Naples. From luxury hospitality and the retail of Fifth Avenue South to Marco Island’s resorts, the county’s healthcare and country-club market, and a growing office sector, we build to the standard — and the high-wind and flood requirements — this Gulf coast demands.
Commercial Construction Across Collier County
Collier County pairs one of the wealthiest markets in Florida with the realities of building on the Gulf. Naples drives a luxury hospitality, retail, and dining economy — from Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South to the resorts along the coast; Marco Island adds a resort and waterfront market; the county’s hospital systems and country clubs anchor steady healthcare and amenity construction; and inland communities like Ave Maria and Immokalee are growing. All of it sits on a coast that takes wind and flood seriously, underscored by the region’s recovery from Hurricane Ian. Each of these asks something specific from a contractor, and we build to it.
Our Collier County work spans the full range of commercial space:
- Hospitality and luxury retail — hotels, resorts, restaurants, and high-end retail in Naples, on Marco Island, and along the coast.
- Healthcare and medical office — exam suites, imaging, and ambulatory space serving the county’s hospital systems.
- Office and mixed-use — Class A office and mixed-use in Naples and the county’s growing centers.
- Country club, recreation, and resort — clubhouse, amenity, and resort space across Collier’s many communities.
- Resilient and coastal construction — elevated, wind- and flood-resistant commercial buildings built for the Gulf.
Communities We Serve
We work throughout Collier County — downtown Naples, Fifth Avenue South, and Third Street South; North Naples and the coastal communities; Marco Island and Everglades City; and the inland communities of Golden Gate, Ave Maria, and Immokalee. Each municipality runs its own building department, and we plan for it.
Permitting, High-Wind, and Coastal Code in Collier County
Building on the Southwest Florida coast means designing for the Gulf. Collier County is a high-wind region under the Florida Building Code, and its coastal areas sit in FEMA flood and storm-surge zones — a reality Hurricane Ian made unmistakable. Wind-rated envelopes, base flood elevation, and resilient design are central to commercial work here. We manage permitting through Collier County and the cities of Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City.
Several requirements shape commercial work here:
- High-wind design — the Florida Building Code’s high wind-load and wind-borne-debris requirements govern glazing, roofing, and envelope across the county.
- FEMA flood zones and coastal construction — base flood elevations, flood-resistant materials, and elevated construction govern coastal areas, with coastal construction control lines along the Gulf.
- County and municipal building departments — the City of Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City each permit and inspect; unincorporated areas go through Collier County.
- Rebuilding and resiliency — post-Ian reconstruction has put a premium on building back stronger, to current wind and flood code.
Designing for wind and flood from the start is what keeps a Collier County project on schedule and resilient.
How We Manage Risk on Collier County Projects
On this coast, risk management starts with wind and water: build to the high-wind and flood requirements, plan the logistics realistically, protect the businesses and guests around the work, and keep life-safety systems live throughout. We coordinate deliveries, phasing, and inspections with owners, tenants, and the right departments, and we carry the insurance limits and trade relationships that Naples and the Collier market expect.
Every job runs through a single point of accountability. Owners, tenants, building departments, and the design team work through one team that owns the schedule, the budget, and the safety plan — not a chain of subcontractors pointing at each other.
Representative Commercial Work
Plescia’s portfolio spans hospitality, retail, healthcare, and resilient coastal work of the kind Collier County demands. While every market has its own specifics, the discipline is the same one we bring to projects across our Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Texas markets: realistic schedules, transparent budgets, and a finished space that performs. We’re glad to walk prospective Collier County clients through relevant past work during an initial conversation.
A Commercial General Contractor With a Florida Presence
Plescia’s Florida office gives Collier County clients an accountable partner backed by a firm that builds across multiple markets. Whether you’re a hospitality operator in Naples, a developer on Marco Island, or an owner rebuilding to current code on the Gulf, we’d welcome the conversation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Plescia do luxury hospitality and retail work in Naples?
Yes. Naples drives a luxury hospitality, retail, and dining economy — from Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South to the coastal resorts — and we build hotels, restaurants, and high-end retail to the standard that market expects.
Does Plescia do resilient and flood-resistant construction in Collier County?
Yes. Collier is a high-wind region, and its coastal areas sit in FEMA flood and storm-surge zones. We build elevated, wind- and flood-resistant commercial construction — and post-Hurricane Ian, we build back stronger to current code.
Does Plescia build on Marco Island?
Yes. Marco Island’s resort and waterfront market is part of our Collier County work, and we build there to the high-wind and coastal-flood requirements island construction demands.
How does wind and flood code work in Collier County?
Collier follows the Florida Building Code’s high-wind requirements, and coastal areas sit in FEMA flood and storm-surge zones — so wind-rated envelopes, base flood elevation, and flood-resistant construction are central to the work. We design for both from the start.
Which areas of Collier County does Plescia serve?
We build throughout the county — downtown Naples, Fifth Avenue South, and Third Street South; North Naples and the coastal communities; Marco Island and Everglades City; and inland Golden Gate, Ave Maria, and Immokalee.
