Exclusive: Only 10 Villas Left – Is This Fort Pierce's Hidden Waterfront Gem About to Make Vero Beach Luxury Look Overpriced?

Ben Bryk February 19, 2026

Luxury seekers on the Treasure Coast, listen up! While Vero Beach has long dominated the high-end scene with its oceanfront estates and serene vibes, a game-changing development is rising just south in downtown Fort Pierce that's turning heads – and potentially stealing the spotlight. Enter The Villas at King’s Landing: a ultra-limited collection of just 10 exquisite two-story townhome villas that serve as the residential cornerstone of one of the most ambitious mixed-use visions the area has ever seen.
 
This isn't just another condo project. It's the northern gateway to a transformative waterfront district that's been years in the making – finally breaking ground after overcoming delays, with vertical construction underway as of early 2026.
 
The Vision: More Than Homes – A Whole New Downtown Lifestyle
 
King’s Landing isn't merely a residential address; it's a thoughtfully planned destination designed to seamlessly complement Fort Pierce’s charming, pedestrian-friendly character. Picture this: tranquil water views over the Indian River Lagoon, architectural integrity inspired by Key West–style Anglo-Caribbean detailing, and a future mixed-use masterpiece that ties everything together.
 
Developed in partnership between Audubon Development and INB Homes, the broader King's Landing project (valued in the hundreds of millions) includes:
  • 106 luxury condominiums
  • A boutique 140+ room hotel
  • 35,000 sq ft of curated restaurant space
  • Retail and vibrant public gathering areas
The goal? To connect historic downtown Fort Pierce with the Edgartown neighborhood and the waterfront, creating a creative, contemporary arts, entertainment, and living hub. Walk-up commercial spaces, specialty retailers, dining, and events will make this a true live-work-play destination.
 
The 10 Villas at King’s Landing kick it all off as the exclusive residential anchor in the northern portion – setting the tone for what's to come.
 
Inside the Villas: Coastal Luxury Meets Effortless Living
 
These aren't your average townhomes. Each of the limited-edition villas boasts:
  • Spacious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath layouts
  • Two-car garages
  • Open-concept main living areas perfect for entertaining
  • Seamless indoor-outdoor flow with balconies and covered patios
  • Private elevators for ultimate convenience
  • Thoughtful details like dedicated studies or flexible spaces for work-from-home or guests
Drafted by acclaimed Cronk Duch Architecture, the design evokes that breezy, coastal elegance while harmonizing with Fort Pierce's walkable downtown vibe. Homeownership starts around $1.5 million, with some listings hitting $1.55M+ – a compelling entry point for waterfront luxury in today's market.
 
And with only 10 available and anticipated completion by late 2026 (some as early as December), this is truly a rare, limited opportunity.
Why This Could Outshine Vero Beach Luxury Right Now
 
Fort Pierce has long flown under the radar compared to Vero's established prestige, but that's changing fast. With construction progressing on the villas (frames already up!) and the larger project gaining momentum, King's Landing positions buyers at the forefront of a revitalized waterfront district.
 
Imagine owning a slice of this vision: steps from marinas, downtown restaurants, arts scenes, and entertainment – all with Indian River views and no massive HOA headaches typical of larger communities. For discerning buyers seeking exclusivity, investment potential, and a lifestyle upgrade, these villas offer something Vero's sprawling estates can't always match: urban walkability fused with serene waterfront living.
 
As the Treasure Coast continues to boom, early adopters here could see significant appreciation as the full mixed-use district comes online.
 
Don't Miss the Window – This Is Happening Now
 
With just 10 villas and momentum building (after years of anticipation since 2019), the clock is ticking. Whether you're relocating, investing, or upgrading your coastal portfolio, The Villas at King’s Landing represent a pivotal moment in Fort Pierce's evolution.
