Naples, FL – The future of luxury living in Downtown Naples is officially underway. Aura at Metropolitan Naples, the highly anticipated 15-story high-rise, has broken ground. The project, located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue South and Davis Boulevard, is set to redefine the city’s skyline and promises to offer an exclusive, unparalleled lifestyle in one of Florida’s most coveted locations.
Under the guidance of Development Partners International, LLC, led by longtime Naples residents and veteran developers Fred Pezeshkan and Jerry Starkey, Aura at Metropolitan Naples will set the new standard for luxury living in the area. Offering only 56 exclusive residences, the project aims to combine the best of modern design with luxury amenities, while providing residents an unbeatable location just steps away from world-class dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.
A New Standard of Luxury
The residences at Aura will offer a range of thoughtfully designed floor plans, from spacious two-bedroom + den units to opulent four-bedroom designs. With square footage ranging from 1,890 to 6,335 sq. ft., these residences are priced from $2 million to over $7 million, making it a prime destination for those seeking a sophisticated lifestyle.
“We’re creating a community that goes beyond just luxury living,” said Ed Gonzalez, Director of Sales for Metropolitan Naples. “It’s going to redefine the entire area. As a mixed-use community, you’ll be able to come down the elevator from your luxury residence and get a phenomenal meal in a five-star restaurant. Aura is more than a building; it’s a lifestyle.”
Exceptional Design and Unrivaled Amenities
The design of Aura’s residences showcases a perfect blend of contemporary sophistication and timeless elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows will allow residents to enjoy stunning views of Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Inside, the residences will feature high-end finishes, including porcelain floors, custom cabinetry, and expansive outdoor living areas complete with grilling stations. Each home will also feature chef-inspired gourmet kitchens equipped with top-tier Wolf and SubZero appliances, ideal for preparing unforgettable meals in a refined yet opulent environment.
Aura will also boast the highest pool in Downtown Naples. Positioned on the rooftop of the building, the sky pool will provide breathtaking panoramic views of the bay, Gulf, and downtown Naples. The state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio, located on the tower’s upper floors, will provide residents with a perfect place to maintain an active lifestyle.
Beyond the residences themselves, Aura offers a suite of high-end amenities designed for comfort and enjoyment. The 5th-floor residents’ lounges will combine both indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxation, while an on-site business center and conference room provide additional convenience. Outside, residents will enjoy access to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, grilling area, fire pits, and a golf putting green where residents can work to improve their games. Aura’s extensive amenities ensure residents have everything they need to live their best life.
A New Vision for Downtown Naples
For developers Fred Pezeshkan and Jerry Starkey, Aura represents more than just a luxury residential tower. It’s the centerpiece of a vision to reshape Downtown Naples into a hub for modern living, blending urban sophistication with Florida’s laid-back charm.
“Everyone wants to live in a secure environment where they can live, work, and play,” said Jerry Starkey. “To be a mile from the beach and have the best restaurants in the area downstairs, this is really ground zero, and a great place to be.”
With Aura at Metropolitan Naples, Pezeshkan and Starkey aim to provide a destination where residents can enjoy all the best that Naples has to offer—within steps of their front door. Their vision includes revitalizing the area by turning it into a dynamic, mixed-use community where residents will experience not only luxurious living but also an elevated lifestyle in a premier location.
