On Oct. 15, Stevens Construction kicked off construction of the Captiva Island Inn on Captiva with a groundbreaking ceremony.
Stevens Construction Executive Vice President South Florida/Partner Dan Adams reported that it is the first ground-up accommodation on the island to begin construction after Hurricane Ian.
Following substantial damage from Ian in 2022, the former inn was demolished.
Stevens Construction is simultaneously building two elevated structures to total 8,454 square feet. Slated for completion in fall 2026, each building will feature five units with a private entry, great room, master bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom and front porch. Guest parking will be provided beneath the buildings.
Designed to endure Florida’s coastal climate, the new inn will be secured with 208 concrete pilings, offering long-term strength and protection.
Stevens Construction provided 21 months of preconstruction working with the client and architect, identifying $2 million in cost-savings suggestions while the project was being designed.
The Stevens Construction team includes Director of Preconstruction Nick Burkel, Project Manager Dawson DeGroot, Superintendent Zach Brown and Project Administrator Morgan Thie.
MHK Architecture is the architect of record, and Quattrone & Associates is the civil engineer.
The Captiva Island Inn is at 11508 Andy Rosse Lane, Captiva.
