Scott Lutgert

Since 1970, Scott Lutgert has been a resident and real estate developer in Naples and Southwest Florida. Among Scott’s many achievements is the development of Park Shore, where his companies have completed 17 luxury beachfront high-rises and six luxury high rises in Bonita Bay. His love of golf made its way into his life’s work as he was instrumental in the development of two luxury golf course communities; The Estuary at Grey Oaks in Naples and Linville Ridge in North Carolina.

Scott’s vision and foresight helped shape Southwest Florida. His companies developed shopping centers and office buildings, including The Village on Venetian Bay, Northern Trust Office Building, The Promenade at Bonita Bay and Mercato, a mixed-use project in North Naples.

As the Chairman of The Lutgert Companies, his leadership and vision has led Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, Premier Commercial, Lutgert Construction, Lutgert Title and Lutgert Insurance, which was sold in 2017 to Gallagher Insurance, since the early ‘80’s.

Scott’s unwavering commitment to Naples and Southwest Florida is evident through his personal involvement in various foundations and charitable organizations. As a wine enthusiast, it was no surprise that Scott was a founder of the Naples Winter Wine Festival.

With his bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and an MBA from the University of Chicago, Scott’s commitment to education and healthcare is a source of pride. He served as chairman of the Board of Trustees at Florida Gulf Coast University for twelve years and was previously on the Board of Directors of Naples Community Hospital from 2001 to 2009. In 2015 he and his wife, Simone, chaired the Magnolia Ball in support of the NCH William and Susan Dalton Oncology Unit.

Scott has been celebrated for numerous community contributions and was honored to receive awards for his involvement including the Edison College Holland T. Salley Leadership in Fostering Education Award, Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida Business Leadership Hall of Fame Award as well as 2004 Gulfshore Life’s Man of the Year. He was also the co-chairman for the capital campaign for The Shelter for Abused Women and Children and co-chairman for the 2019 Night at the Museum event benefiting the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples.
