A New Urbanist town by DPZ — on Florida's Emerald Coast
Scroll to journey the island
The Vision

Not another coastal development. A stake in a legacy.

Marina Island is an intellectual and artistic statement about what is possible when vision, expertise, and execution converge. Every detail — the width of the streets, the curve of the waterfront, the way nature is kept close — has been crafted under the guidance of DPZ CoDesign, the globally renowned architects of placemaking.

This is not built to satisfy a passing market trend. It is a lasting, generational investment designed to redefine the relationship between luxury, community, and the coast.

A Masterclass in New Urbanism

The final chapter in the DPZ legacy

Three communities that transcended real estate and became movements — each setting records in price appreciation and global acclaim. Marina Island is not a competitor to them. It is their evolution.

1981

Seaside

The town that launched New Urbanism and changed American planning forever.

1995

Rosemary Beach

Old-world urbanism on 30A, commanding some of Florida's highest price-per-foot.

2004

Alys Beach

White-walled courtyard living — a benchmark for coastal value and design.

Now

Marina Island

140 acres on the bay — the culmination, engineered around a working harbor.

The Master Plan

One hundred forty acres, drawn by hand.

A walkable town on Lynn Haven Bayou — a working marina, a European commons, private residential enclaves, and a pedestrian network that puts everything within a stroll. Designed by DPZ CoDesign, 2025.

The districts of Marina Island

01

The Marina

400 wet slips, 600 dry stack, a yacht club and boat-sales facility — the gravitational heart of the island's value.

02

Harbor Commons

A European town center — 400,000 sq ft of boutiques, five-star hotels, and restaurants around open-air piazzas.

03

The Marina District

Palm-lined promenades, waterfront residences, and boardwalk life that carries from morning to midnight.

04

Oyster Bay

The Phase 1 residential enclave — estates from $8–25M around a green, a clubhouse, and 1,500 ft of white-sand beach.

The Economics

A market-proven formula

$0MMLP equity raise
0%LP stake of $300MM
$2.4BProjected profit pool
0%Compounded pref
9.3–9.5×Projected cash-on-cash
57–110%Modeled LP IRR

The $60MM raise buys a 20% limited-partner position in a $300MM equity stack — entering after land assembly, DPZ master planning, and entitlement, but before full-scale monetization.

The Opportunity

$60MM for a 20% limited-partner position.

A simple structure: $60MM buys into a $300MM total equity stack. Investors enter after the hardest early-stage value creation — land assembly, DPZ master planning, entitlement, and the recorded Development Agreement — but before full-scale monetization.
