The neighborhood you love. The home you actually want.

The best lots in Southwest Florida don't come vacant. We handle the full scope: demolition, site preparation, new construction, and everything in between.

Why Teardown-Rebuilds Are Accelerating

In Old Naples, Park Shore, Marco Island's estate section, South Tampa, Snell Isle — there are no vacant parcels. The only way to build new in these neighborhoods is to start over on what's already there.

Buyers who want to be in these neighborhoods are increasingly choosing to build rather than settle for what's available. The homes occupying many of the best lots are aging 1970s–1990s construction. The lots underneath are worth significantly more than the structures.

What a Teardown-Rebuild Involves

This is a different kind of project than building on raw land. It requires demolition coordination, site assessment for existing utilities and infrastructure, and careful planning around neighboring properties. It also often involves navigating HOA architectural review, floodplain compliance, and base flood elevation requirements when existing structures are being replaced.

We've done this work across multiple markets. We know what it involves and how to manage it without unnecessary delays or cost surprises.

What's Included

Our teardown-rebuild scope covers existing structure assessment, demolition coordination and debris removal, utility disconnection and reconnection, permitting for both demolition and new construction, HOA and architectural review board submission and approval management, full custom home construction on the cleared site, and flood zone and elevation compliance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The total cost depends on demolition scope, new home size, and lot conditions. Demolition typically runs $25,000 to $60,000. New construction on the cleared site follows standard custom home pricing of $350 to $800+ per square foot depending on location and finishes.
Demolition takes 2 to 4 weeks. After that, the timeline follows a standard custom home build: 3 to 5 months of pre-construction, then 12 to 20 months of construction. Total project duration is typically 18 to 26 months.
Yes. Demolition requires its own permit, and the new home requires a full building permit. We manage both, along with any HOA or architectural review board approvals required in your community.
The most active teardown-rebuild markets we work in include Old Naples, Park Shore, Coquina Sands, Aqualane Shores, and The Moorings in Naples; the Estates area on Marco Island; South Tampa and Davis Islands; and Snell Isle and Shore Acres in St. Petersburg.
No. The existing structure is fully demolished before new construction begins. You'll need to plan for temporary housing for the duration of the project, typically 18 to 26 months.
