Fort Pierce Waterfront Gets $1.5M Villas in Major Revitalization Push

FORT PIERCE, FL – February 17, 2026 – Construction has gone vertical on a boutique collection of luxury townhomes in Fort Pierce, a project that marks a significant milestone in the city's long-term vision for its waterfront. INB Homes has announced that its Villas at King's Landing are now for sale, with pricing starting at $1.5 million. The development, consisting of just 10 two-story residences, is the latest and one of the most upscale pieces in the ambitious puzzle of urban revitalization for the historic coastal city.

The announcement follows a February 11 event celebrating the start of construction, attended by city officials, business leaders, and real estate professionals, all gathered to witness the first tangible steps of a project years in the making. Situated near the marina and the city's historic downtown, the villas are poised to become a high-profile component of a re-imagined waterfront district.

A Cornerstone of Waterfront Transformation

The Villas at King's Landing are not being built in a vacuum. The project is a key element within a comprehensive, multi-phase effort to transform the Fort Pierce waterfront into a vibrant, walkable, mixed-use destination. This effort is guided by the Downtown Master Plan, adopted by the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) in 2022, which provides a 20-year roadmap for strategic investment and growth.

"Reaching this milestone reflects years of planning and coordination from our team and partners," said Rainer Richter, Executive Vice President of INB Homes. "We're proud to see Villas at King's Landing moving from vision to reality, and we appreciate the support from local leadership as we deliver a new residential option that helps advance the Fort Pierce waterfront district."

The district's vision aims to seamlessly connect the city's historic downtown with Edgartown, one of its oldest communities. Future plans for the area surrounding the villas are extensive, promising a boutique hotel, additional residential offerings, restaurants, and retail spaces, all woven together with public parks and gathering areas. A central piece of this plan is the nearly $21 million transformation of the 5.9-acre Marina Square into Marina Park, a dynamic public space designed to host farmers' markets, concerts, and community events, though the redevelopment has sparked local debate regarding potential parking challenges.

Ultimately, the goal is to enhance Fort Pierce's identity, leveraging its fishing village heritage while embracing modern urban design. The introduction of high-end residential projects like the Villas at King's Landing is seen by planners as a crucial step in attracting investment and a new demographic of residents to support this revitalized downtown core.

Resilient Luxury on the Treasure Coast

Reflecting its premier waterfront location, the design of the villas blends luxury amenities with formidable construction meant to withstand Florida's coastal climate. Each of the 10 residences will feature a three-bedroom, 3.5-bath layout, a private two-car garage, and a personal elevator—a nod to the upscale, convenience-oriented lifestyle the project targets.

Beyond the luxury finishes, the builder is emphasizing what it calls "coastal durability elements." The structures are being built with steel-reinforced concrete, impact-resistant windows and doors, and a standing seam aluminum roof. These features are no longer just selling points but essential requirements for buyers of high-value coastal property, providing peace of mind against tropical weather events.

Inside, the homes promise open-concept layouts with hardwood floors and high-end kitchens equipped with GE Café appliances and gas cooking. Buyers will have choices of quartz or granite countertops, allowing for a degree of personalization. This combination of resilient engineering and bespoke interior design is calculated to appeal to discerning buyers seeking a permanent residence or a luxury second home that is both beautiful and durable.

The $1.5 Million Question for Fort Pierce

The project's seven-figure starting price is turning heads in the local real estate market. Fort Pierce has long been considered a value-driven alternative to its pricier Treasure Coast neighbors like Vero Beach. With median home prices in the area hovering between $225,000 and $330,000 in early 2026, the Villas at King's Landing are entering the market at a price point more than four times the local average.

This positions the development as a significant test for the city's burgeoning luxury segment. While multi-million-dollar single-family estates exist, particularly on Hutchinson Island, a new-construction townhome project at this price point in the downtown district is a bold move. It signals a belief that a new wave of buyers, unbothered by the premium, will be drawn to the promise of a walkable, urban, waterfront lifestyle that is central to the city's redevelopment plans.

For INB Homes, the project also marks a strategic pivot. The Orlando-based builder, founded in 2019, has largely focused on the attainable housing market, with its single-family homes in communities like Palm Bay and Palm Coast typically priced under $400,000. While the company has successfully delivered over 500 homes in its first five years, the Villas at King's Landing is its most ambitious foray into the ultra-luxury sector. The success of this boutique development will be watched closely by other developers and investors as a barometer for the future of high-end real estate in Fort Pierce.

With construction underway, completion of the villas is slated for December 2026. A public grand opening is planned for the summer of 2026, offering a wider glimpse into what could be the new face of luxury living in a city on the cusp of a major transformation.
