St. Laurent in Pelican Bay

St. Laurent is one of those Pelican Bay buildings that just makes sense once you’re inside. You get the calm of the mangroves, the sweep of the Gulf, and a layout that lives comfortably whether you’re here for season or you’re slipping into Naples for long weekends.

It feels elevated, but not fussy. Polished, but still very much about the lifestyle.

Big-Picture Appeal

• 22-story high-rise completed in 1997 with 102 residences plus 5 penthouses. 

• Floor plans from about 1,470 to 2,515 square feet, including a popular 3-bedroom option in the “01” stack with well-separated bedrooms. 

• Gulf views begin around the 5th floor, and become more commanding as you go higher. 

• Standout building updates noted by the association include new windows and sliders (2021/2022) and a refreshed exterior paint look. 

• Pelican Bay lifestyle perk: open-air electric trams to the beach, wellness and fitness center, tennis and pickleball, plus boardwalks through the mangroves.

Where It Sits Inside Pelican Bay

St. Laurent is in the central portion of Pelican Bay, tucked in a way that gives you a nature-forward view corridor while keeping you close to the heartbeat of the community. 

Address: 6849 Grenadier Blvd, Naples, FL 34108 

Views and “Stacks” That Matter

This is a building where orientation is a big part of the buying decision.

• The association notes Gulf views start around the fifth floor. 

• It also notes that all stacks except the “03” stack offer a second-side view back over Pelican Bay, which can be a big quality-of-life upgrade, especially if you love light and long sight lines. 

If you want, I can map out which stacks tend to deliver the sunset drama versus the more layered “Gulf plus preserve” feel.

Ceiling Height Reality Check

Here's a breakdown on ceilings in St Laurent:

• Penthouses and first-floor units are noted at 10 feet, while most other residences are described as 8 feet with a soffit drop in certain areas. 

Translation: if you’re a volume-and-light person, ceiling height becomes part of the strategy, not just a detail.

Amenities That Support Real Life

St. Laurent keeps amenities focused on what people actually use.

The association cites:

• Fitness center

• Pool and spa

• Social room and library

• Two tennis courts

• Two guest suites

• Plus beach access directly off the pool deck (a very nice convenience factor) 

The Pelican Bay Lifestyle Layer

Buying in St. Laurent is also buying into Pelican Bay’s “easy button.”

• The Pelican Bay Foundation describes the open-air electric tram system as the most convenient way to reach the beaches and restaurants, with stations connecting to boardwalks through mangroves. 

• The Foundation also highlights beachfront dining options like Sandbar and Marker 36. 

Who It’s Perfect For

• View lovers who want Gulf plus nature, not just “a sliver of blue”

• Buyers who want a true 3-bedroom option without jumping to a much larger footprint

• People who actually use the Pelican Bay amenities and want them to feel seamless

• Seasonal owners who want a building that feels established, updated, and well-run

Smart Buyer Notes

• Confirm the rules: pets, leasing, renovation windows, and guest policies can change, and the condo docs always win over internet summaries.

• Choose your elevation intentionally: St. Laurent’s own guidance on where Gulf views begin is useful, but every buyer experiences “enough view” difference. 

• Ceilings and soffits are negotiables: if you’re sensitive to ceiling height, we’ll target the right unit types from the start. 

• Building updates matter: windows, sliders, and exterior improvements can be meaningful in coastal ownership.
