214: Naples Health & Fitness Plaza

In Collier County, Florida, there is a demand for amenities related to health and wellness. Gulf Coast Ventures is a developer in South Florida that focuses on increasing commercial development.  They created a concept for the Naples Health and Fitness Plaza that consisted of three one-story buildings including an athletic training center, a Vale Food Co. restaurant and a physical therapy facility. We designed a site on an undeveloped 4.5-acre parcel of land in Collier County. We were responsible for creating a site, utility, grading and drainage plan. 

Our designs had to comply with the Collier County Land Development Code (CCLDC) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). Along with the three buildings, the site plan had to include at least one pretreatment detention area to aid in the increased runoff on the developed site. We used Civil 3D to make the concept come to life. The design process involved shifting various aspects within the site to meet the client’s needs and abide by the standards set in the CCLDC and the SFWMD. A few of these standards included building setbacks, parking requirements and minimum grades across the site. The completed project will generate economic growth in the community by providing more opportunities for residents. Additionally, the Naples Health and Fitness Plaza prompts increased physical activity and healthier lifestyles within the community.
