Project Components

The components listed shape The Landing at SGI – from single-family lots to resort amenities like a pool and beachfront restaurant. Each element is thoughtfully designed to minimize environmental impact and enhance the community experience.

  • The Landing at SGI will include a large lagoon-style pool that will entertain guests of all ages. The pool area, also referred to as the Beach Club, will contain shaded cabanas, a poolside tiki bar, rental shop for paddleboards and kayaks, and other assorted amenities.

    The construction of this area will be on sandy uplands so that it will have no negative impact on the surrounding environment. The Beach Club is designed and will be constructed as a first-class area that appeals to the eye of all guests and residents as you drive across the SR 300 bridge to St. George Island.

  • The dining aspect of the project will accommodate both residents and guests with a beautiful setting for lunches, dinners, and special events. The restaurant will follow a similar design concept as other popular waterfront restaurants in Florida such as the North Beach Social in Santa Rosa Beach, Rivergrille on the Tomoka in Ormond Beach, and The Old Key Lime House in Lantana.

    All these establishments have created successful brands that attract boaters to dine and enjoy live entertainment in a casual/tropical setting while simultaneously maintaining high standards of cuisine and aesthetics.

  • The marina components of this project are the heart and soul of the entire development. The wetslip marina uses the historical marina footprint and existing basin area for ten (10) seasonal berths so as not to disturb the existing shellfish harvesting guidance for Apalachicola Bay. Wetslip vessels could include sailboats, catamarans, or monohull power boats.

    The marina will greatly benefit the public by functioning as an emergency landing if necessary, during storm events that may compromise the structural integrity of the bridge. This was recently experienced during the closing of the Sanibel Island bridge due to damage from Hurricane Ian in 2022.

    The marina is planned for a future electric boat charging station. The planning/engineering team supporting this project has completed preliminary water quality testing, bathymetric surveys, and pollutant flushing studies to ensure that there will be no shellfish closure due to these slips and that the marina will comply with the necessary standards set by the FDEP and USACE.

    Adding to the marina's versatility, the drystack component boasts impressive solar capacity, ensuring sustainability while accommodating up to 200 boats. The electric crane not only eliminates diesel exhaust, backup alarms, and tire dust but also increases vessel density and accommodates storm surge/flooding, enhancing safety and environmental friendliness. Additionally, the water quality benefits of dry storage contribute to the preservation of marine ecosystems, further establishing our marina as a beacon of responsible development.

  • The structures built on the eastern side of the marina basin (along SR 300) will match the beachfront/coastal architecture which defines St. George Island. These beautiful three-story structures will allow for parking on the ground level with two stories of luxurious waterfront housing above. These homes will have immediate access and a view of the marina basin and Apalachicola Bay.

  • Through months of processing with the FDEP, the engineering team for the LSGI project has developed a sewage treatment/service center to achieve the environmental aspirations set by the development team.

    The Landing at SGI project will include a state-of-the-art Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) wastewater treatment plant which will serve the entire property. MBR plants are quickly becoming the standard practice of high-quality tropical resorts. These systems have typical footprints only 25% of conventional wastewater plants, produce the highest quality effluent, yield 20-40% less sludge, have less odor, and are less susceptible to failures due to flow variations.

    In 2003, the FDEP identified MBR plants as one of several ‘Technologies for the Future’ in their Water Reuse publication, recently they have approved permits for such systems in Nassau and Okaloosa Counties. The LSGI team believes that the installation of this MBR plant will set the precedent for future projects in Franklin County which will aspire to reach the same environmental benchmarks.

  • The LSGI development will employ modern advancements in asphalt/gravel surface design to create roadways and parking areas around the site that produce the minimal amount of stormwater runoff. Additional technologies which help to minimize the environmental impact of the development will be implemented around the site as well as signage to highlight these efforts and educate guests on modern conservation measures.

    Both the FDOT and Franklin County Road Commission were consulted in the initial design efforts for the traffic and parking layouts around the site. The current ingress/egress locations for the project were decided based on input from the governing roadway agencies. The mandatory parking spaces for the resort will be determined using comparable developments from similar projects, the surrounding area, and state of Florida.
