Suffolk Celebrates Topping Off Avra at Metropolitan Naples, a Landmark Luxury Residential Tower

Milestone marks structural completion of 15-story high-rise redefining downtown Naples living.

NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Suffolk, one of the most innovative and successful builders in the country, recently celebrated topping off Avra at Metropolitan Naples, a 15-story luxury residential tower rising in the heart of downtown Naples. The milestone marks the completion of the building’s structural framework and highlights the progress made toward delivering one of Southwest Florida’s most anticipated residential developments.

Once complete in Fall 2026, Avra will feature 56 exclusive residences ranging from approximately 1,890 to more than 6,300 square feet, each designed to blend modern architecture, open layouts, and refined finishes with resort-style amenities. The project continues the vision of the broader Metropolitan Naples master plan to bring vibrant, walkable, high-end living to downtown.

“This topping off represents a testament to the teamwork, precision, and craftsmanship that have defined this project from day one,” said Peter Tuffo, President of Florida Gulf Coast and National Gaming at Suffolk. “Our team is proud to help bring this development to life and continue redefining what’s possible in high-rise construction across Southwest Florida.”

“With the structure now complete, we’re one step closer to delivering a residential experience unlike anything else in Naples,” said Ed Gonzalez, Director of Sales for Metropolitan Naples. “Avra is designed for those who want the sophistication of a high-rise lifestyle paired with the warmth and connection of a true community. We’re grateful to Suffolk and our partners for their exceptional work in helping us realize this vision.”

Avra’s sleek design and elevated amenities, which includes a rooftop infinity pool with panoramic Gulf views; a fitness center and yoga studio; and an outdoor social level featuring a lounge, grilling pavilion, and guest suite, will set a new benchmark for luxury condominium living in the region. Each home includes expansive terraces with built-in grills, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

Suffolk’s project team has utilized advanced scheduling, coordination, and digital modeling tools throughout construction to maintain efficiency and ensure seamless collaboration among partners. The firm’s commitment to integrating technology into every phase of construction has helped streamline communication, improve quality assurance, and keep the project on schedule.

Suffolk’s diverse portfolio of high-profile projects throughout Southwest Florida showcases its leadership in hospitality, healthcare, residential, and gaming construction. In Tampa Bay, Suffolk is managing the development of the Residences at 400 Central, the tallest residential tower on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Suffolk is building the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Naples, a premier waterfront property, and the hotel portion of the Naples Beach Club, a Four Seasons Resort that blends luxury living with resort-style amenities.
