In The Beginning… 1964 marked the beginning
of sustained growth and real estate development in
Southwest Florida. It was in 1964 that Raymond L.
Lutgert began a visionary project that transformed
760 acres bordering 1-1/4 miles of Naples beachfront
into one of the most prestigious communities in all
of Florida. Ultimately named Park Shore, Raymond Lutgert’s
community was the first Planned Unit Development in
the state, and served as a model for subsequent developments.
His innovative thinking and attention to detail, the
uncompromising beauty of his finished product, and
his unwavering commitment to respecting the environment
became the foundation on which the success of the
Lutgert Companies is built. The tradition continues…
Today……The
Lutgert Companies is acknowledged as Southwest Florida’s
pre-eminent real estate development company. The Lutgert

Florida. The Lutgert Companies has been a member of
