PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: NAPLES AUTO VAULT BY THE LUTGERT COMPANIES A NEW HOME FOR NAPLES’ MOST PRIZED COLLECTIONS Deeded automotive and collector condominiums designed for vehicles, watercraft, art, wine, and the passions that define a Naples lifestyle. Naples Auto Vault is redefining how Southwest Florida collectors protect and enjoy their most prized possessions. Located at 6985 Airport-Pulling Road North in Naples, Florida, the development offers deeded collector condominiums — private, nonresidential spaces purpose-built to securely house automobiles, watercraft, RVs, wine, art, and other prized collections, with exceptional flexibility and long-term ownership value. Developed by The Lutgert Companies, Naples Auto Vault extends a Southwest Florida legacy spanning more than 60 years. That experience informs a design philosophy centered on durable, high-quality construction, purposeful planning, and lasting ownership.

“Collectors invest tremendous care in building extraordinary collections, yet few environments are designed to truly protect, showcase, and enjoy them,” said Erik Lutgert, president of The Lutgert Companies. “Naples Auto Vault was created to offer owners a permanent, purpose-built home for their collections — one that reflects the same care, craftsmanship, and passion that define their approach to collecting.”

BUILT FOR SOUTHWEST FLORIDA The building is engineered for the realities of Southwest Florida, designed to meet a 160-mph wind rating with six-inch concrete floors finished in epoxy, concrete-block demising walls between units and finished floors positioned above FEMA-designated flood elevations. The inland setting, approximately three miles from the Gulf, reinforces that protection. Impact-rated glass, hurricane-rated components, eight-foot privacy walls on the terraces, electronically controlled gates and surveillance cameras complete a layered approach to site security. — Continued on page 122
