PRESIDENT’S LETTER
INTEG R IT Y.
INNOVATION. PASSION. Since day one, integrity, innovation and passion have served as a beacon for London Bay. I take great pride in the team we have built over three decades; their commitment to our core principles have brought to life our clients’ dream homes throughout Southwest Florida. Though 2021 was challenging by many measures for all Americans, the year reflected the resilient spirit of our employees and industry leaders who stepped up in transformative ways to continue to innovate and excel. Tremendous growth across the homebuilding industry propelled London Bay to record sales for the year and we are truly grateful to both our team and our clients.
As a company, we are excited to embark on the next evolution of our brand 32 years after completing our first home. Our new logo and recent name change – from London Bay Homes to London Bay – reflects our growing family of companies: Homes, Renovation, Romanza Interior Design, and Development Group. Our next chapter builds upon the success of the last three decades as we continue to deliver luxury residences and pursue more mixed-use residential development opportunities in Southwest Florida. At the forefront is our newest endeavor: Saltleaf on Estero Bay – A new coastal village

LIFE AS RARE AS THE SETTING: A NEW COASTAL VILLAGE COMING TO SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
The name Saltleaf honors the bay’s mangroves — ancient, fiercely protected trees that filter the estuary’s water, releasing salt onto their leaves in tiny, glistening crystals. 14
LondonBay.com
Introducing, Saltleaf on Estero Bay — a new confluence of home and town set on nearly a mile of one of Florida’s last great stretches of waterfront. Located just north of Naples, next to the state’s very first aquatic preserve, London Bay Development Group’s vision is coming to life with a village designed to live in rare harmony with it all — natural wonders, luxury residences, a dedicated marina, championship golf, and more.
NEW, BY THE BLUE — SALTLEAF MARINA Bordering the village will be the Saltleaf Marina. Island hop with ease to nearby Captiva or Sanibel Islands, kayak through the mangroves, explore Estero Bay by paddleboard or sit back and relax on a sunset cruise. However you choose to discover the surrounding waters, thriving oyster beds, tarpon, manatee, and people-curious dolphins abound.
At Saltleaf Marina, you can grab your paddleboard, kayak or sport boat.

It sounds a little obvious; a custom luxury home should reflect the needs, wishes and lifestyle of the homebuyer. For more than three decades, London Bay Homes has continued to redefine homebuilding by listening to clients, anticipating home and lifestyle trends, adapting to innovation and technology, and building in Southwest Florida’s most sought-after neighborhoods and communities. “We listen to our clients and learn what’s most important to the future enjoyment of their home,” said Steve Miller, Vice President. “We take what we learn and build on these experiences for future clients.” Innovation and smart technology are changing homebuilding at lightning speed. Sustainability and the health of a home is also driving the luxury market. London Bay Homes recently completed its first solarpowered home – a challenge posed by a previous client who wanted us to design and build a home that is as close to 100% solar powered as possible.
Celebrating Florida’s Alfresco Lifestyle Inspired by Southwest Florida’s idyllic tropical location and Naples’ tranquil beaches, the new 5,712-square-foot custom estate in Aqualane Shores celebrates Florida’s outdoor lifestyle with a resort-inspired outdoor area featuring intimate conversation areas around two fire pits, an outdoor kitchen and custom pool — all surrounded by Florida’s natural fauna.

A luxury model currently under construction in Aqualane Shores, just steps from the beach, reflects the shifts in lifestyle identified by London Bay. It features expanded outdoor living areas, a three-car garage and provides flexibility for a second office. “London Bay’s design process is based on past experiences – listening to what our custom clients want,” said Miller. “We put ourselves into the shoes of a potential customer and ask ourselves: How will they entertain outside? How does the home live? Is there enough closet space? Attention to the smallest details will lead to the ultimate enjoyment of the home by our clients.”
I’ve worked with a number of different builders throughout my career, but in terms of team work, listening to the client, incorporating their ideas and making suggestions that add value, reporting and keeping things on schedule, London Bay is the best I’ve ever worked with.” — Rob F., Custom Home Client

By offering complete services in-house and collaborating with Southwest Florida’s leading architecture and design firms, London Bay Homes ensures the journey is enjoyable, informative and, most of all, tailored to the individual. “London Bay Homes offers clients so many different avenues for creating the home of their dreams,” said London Bay Homes President and CEO Mark Wilson. “Our in-house team of homesite specialists, architects and the designers at Romanza Interior Design guides homebuyers throughout the entire process, from selecting the perfect homesite to the final interior design details that make all the difference. Clients can also leverage our professional partnerships with MHK Architecture & Planning, Kukk Architecture & Design, Stofft Cooney Architects and several other industry-leading firms.”

LONDON BAY GIVES BACK
From sponsoring gala events to gathering both food and gift donations throughout the year to participating as a group in charitable fundraising, London Bay has been focused on giving back to the community for more than three decades. Throughout this past year, the team also spent time building camaraderie between departments and fostering connections with each other – from monthly food truck gatherings in the parking lot to wellness challenges encouraging healthy living, and even a golf outing and sunset cruise. We look forward to continuing these traditions!
London Bay team members participated in the Run 3 for Joey D 5K.
A sunset boat cruise further emphasized how lucky our team is to live in picturesque Southwest Florida.
Team members donated toys for the Guadalupe Center Toy Drive — bringing the magic of the holidays to children and parents in Immokalee, Florida.
Team members were encouraged to take a relaxing lunch break to enjoy the series of food trucks that came to our corporate office.
An afternoon of golf at Raptor Bay encouraged team-building while enjoying the beautiful outdoors. LondonBay.com
