New communities will bring over 2,250 homes matched with resort amenities
NAPLES, Fla. (Jan. 6, 2026)—America’s Most Trusted® Home Builder Taylor Morrison is expanding its successful resort lifestyle brand Esplanade with plans to bring two communities totaling more than 2,250 homes to the Naples area, investing over $160 million in the local region. Taylor Morrison recently acquired a land parcel for Esplanade at Rivergrass, which will include an 18-hole golf course, and is also working with developer Cameratta Companies to finalize the closing of Esplanade at Kingston in early 2026.
“Esplanade’s hospitality-driven residential resort experience has greatly resonated with our Naples market, and we are thrilled to build on that success with two beautiful communities,” said Cammie Longenecker, Taylor Morrison’s President of Resort Lifestyle Brand. “Wellness is the foundation of every Esplanade experience and is purposefully woven into daily life through curated programs and services. From culinary and fitness offerings to spa treatments, concierge support, and engaging clubs and outings, our team creates personalized experiences that foster a meaningful, connected lifestyle. We’re also proud to invest in the local community through these projects and contribute to its growth and vibrancy for years to come.”
Esplanade at Rivergrass is located 15 miles east of I-75 on the Oil Well Road Corridor and will feature approximately 977 single-family homes and condos, matched with an 18-hole golf course which will be designed by C.W. Golf Architecture. Rivergrass’ prime location is positioned as the next stretch of growth along the Oil Well Road Corridor and offers easy access to nearby dining, entertainment, schools, shopping, downtown Naples, and eastbound Alligator Alley for a direct connection to the Metro Miami area. Planned amenities include an 18-hole championship golf course with a pro shop and onsite refreshments; Wellness Center with spa services; Culinary Center with dining options; poolside Bahama Bar; resort-style pool; tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball courts; state-of-the-art fitness center; Bark Park; walking trails and more. Esplanade at Rivergrass is estimated to open for sales in early 2027. A VIP interest list is forming and can be joined here.
Located in southern Lee County on the highly sought after and fast-growing Corkscrew Road corridor, Esplanade at Kingston is a gated community which will feature approximately 1,279 single-family homes, condos and twin villas. Esplanade at Kingston is just under 660 acres and located within the larger 6,700-acre master-planned community, Kingston, which developer Cameratta Companies recently broke ground on. Kingston blends sustainability and conservation with luxury living, and will feature over 3,300 acres of property restored into wildlife habitat and preserves. With easy access to I-75 via Corkscrew and Alico Roads, Esplanade at Kingston residents will enjoy easy access to employment corridors, a new Publix grocery store, schools and medical centers. Planned amenities include a resort-style pool and spa with towel service and poolside cabanas; Culinary Center; Wellness Center; state-of-the-art fitness center; tennis, pickleball, and bocce ball courts; signature spa services; Bahama Bar; event lawn and more. Esplanade at Kingston is estimated to open for sales in late 2026. A VIP interest list is now forming and can be joined here.
“We’re thrilled to expand our Esplanade footprint in the Naples area with two new communities that build on the success and strong demand we’ve seen here. Homebuyers continue to seek the vibrant, resort‑style living that Esplanade is known for, and we look forward to delivering even more opportunities to experience that unparalleled lifestyle,” said Naples Division President Rick Carruthers.
At both Esplanade at Kingston and Esplanade at Rivergrass, Esplanade Resort Experiences will oversee concierge-level services and curated experiential offerings that enrich residents’ lives such as chef-led culinary experiences and cooking classes, wine and beer tastings, custom spa/salon treatments, travel excursions, and much more. Troon, a leading global golf and hospitality management company, will provide white glove service and manage operations. Through this partnership, Esplanade residents can also enjoy exclusive access to reduced rates at select Troon golf courses and resorts worldwide.
These two new communities join an impressive lineup of existing Esplanade communities currently selling in the Naples and Fort Myers region: Esplanade Lake Club, Esplanade by the Islands, and Esplanade at Starling. Taylor Morrison’s Esplanade brand has more than 30 communities across the country including Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, and California.
