CAPTIVA, Fla. (Oct. 15, 2025) – Stevens Construction has started construction of Captiva Island Inn, located at 11508 and 11509 Andy Rosse Lane, announced Dan Adams, executive vice president/partner, Stevens Construction, Inc.
Kicking off construction with a groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 15, Captiva Island Inn is the first ground-up Captiva accommodation to begin construction after Ian.
Following substantial damage from Hurricane Ian in 2022, the former Captiva Island 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 Captiva Island 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.
