Fleet Landing at Nocatee will bring a resort-style Life Plan Community to Ponte Vedra. With an anticipated opening in 2027, it is one of the most anticipated senior living projects on Florida’s First Coast. Fleet Landing at Nocatee will offer luxury Independent Living, with an array of residences, an impressive lineup of amenities, the WELLInspired™ wellness program, and on-site health services from the same not-for-profit organization behind Fleet Landing’s celebrated Atlantic Beach community. Keep reading to learn what to expect.
The same not-for-profit team behind Fleet Landing’s Atlantic Beach community, which has served Northeast Florida for more than 35 years, is leading this new senior living project. Fleet Landing is known for outstanding service, financial strength, and forward-thinking leadership.
CEO Josh Ashby has described the project as a way to expand what Fleet Landing can offer, building a new community that complements the original Campus and gives Residents an even stronger option for the kind of community Fleet Landing is known for. Because the organization is not-for-profit, decisions stay focused on Residents rather than outside shareholders.
Fleet Landing at Nocatee will be a Life Plan Community for adults 62 and better, combining independent residential living plus access to high-quality, on-site health services. This combination means you can enjoy an active lifestyle now, with the reassurance of additional care and support on the same Campus if you ever need it.
The financial structure of a Life Plan Community sets it apart from a typical rental community. A single entrance fee secures lifetime residency and access to on-site care. This structure helps protect your assets and brings more predictability to long-term care costs, so future planning does not depend on guesswork.
Fleet Landing at Nocatee will offer three styles of luxury Independent Living residences: Tower Apartments, Flats, and Cottages. Together, they include 30 different floor plan options, ranging in size from 849 to 2,964 square feet, with high-end finishes throughout.
Tower Apartments and Flats suit Residents who want a lock-and-leave lifestyle within the main community building, while Cottages offer more room and a home-like feel. Whether you prefer a low-maintenance apartment or a more spacious cottage, there is a layout designed around comfort and convenience that fits how you want to live.
Placing a refundable reservation deposit, which is applied to your entrance fee at move-in, is the first step to securing your preferred floor plan. Reserving early gives you the widest selection and the first opportunity to personalize your new home.
The team behind Fleet Landing at Nocatee describes the community as resort-style, and the amenity list backs that up. Rather than the standard fitness room and communal dining hall found at many senior communities, Fleet Landing at Nocatee is designed around variety and choice, giving Residents multiple ways to stay active, social, and engaged without ever leaving the Campus. You can expect:
On top of all that, Residents will have access to the broader amenities of the master-planned Nocatee community itself, including water parks, a private lake, the Town Center, and more.
Fleet Landing's approach to wellness goes beyond a fitness class schedule. At the flagship Atlantic Beach community, the WELLInspired™ program has earned a special commendation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), the independent national authority for senior living accreditation.
WELLInspired™ is built around whole-person well-being across six dimensions: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, vocational, and intellectual. Rather than treating wellness as a single amenity, the program ties everything together, fitness, the arts, lifelong learning, and time outdoors, into one connected approach to living well.
At Nocatee, WELLInspired™ will bring this same philosophy to the Campus, giving Residents a framework for staying active, connected, and engaged in whatever ways matter most to them.
This is the heart of the Life Plan model. Fleet Landing at Nocatee is designed so that Assisted Living and Memory Care are available right on the Campus, allowing Residents to transition to a higher level of care without leaving the community they know. For Skilled Nursing needs, Residents will have access to Fleet Landing's established health services at the nearby Atlantic Beach Campus, backed by the same organization and standard of care that has served Northeast Florida for more than 35 years.
This continuum of care is what separates a Life Plan Community from an apartment community. You are not just buying a lifestyle. You are securing a plan for the future, with care built in from the start.
Dining is a highlight, not an afterthought. Fleet Landing at Nocatee will offer multiple distinct dining venues, including a casual cafe and a rooftop bar and restaurant with views of the Nocatee Town Center. From a quick lunch to a celebratory dinner, Residents will have options for every mood and occasion, so a meal out is something to look forward to without leaving home.
Beyond the table, a typical day might mix a fitness class or a swim, time on the trails or in the art studio, and a lecture or performance at the arts center, followed by dinner with friends. The point of a resort-style Life Plan Community is that your calendar can be as full or as relaxed as you want it to be, with extensive amenities and the community right outside your door.
If you know Fleet Landing’s original Atlantic Beach community, you will recognize the foundation of what makes both communities stand out, including the not-for-profit mission, the service standards, WELLInspired™ wellness, and the care continuum. What is different is the setting and the design.
Atlantic Beach is an established, 35-year-old community six blocks from the ocean. Nocatee is a brand-new, resort-style Campus built within one of Northeast Florida’s premier master-planned communities, with contemporary residences and amenities designed from the ground up. Think of Nocatee as the same trusted Fleet Landing experience, reimagined for Ponte Vedra and, because it is new, a rare chance to be part of a community from the very beginning.
Construction runs from 2025 through 2027, with residency phased in across all levels of living throughout 2027. Because of the community’s scale, the opening follows a multi-tiered timeline, and those who reserve early are kept informed of key milestones and get the first opportunity to select and personalize their residence.
More than it might sound. Because Fleet Landing is a not-for-profit, no outside shareholders are taking a cut. Surplus is reinvested back into the community, its programs, and its Residents.
In practice, that tends to show up as a focus on service, wellness, and long-term financial stability rather than quarterly profits. It is also a trust signal in a market with many for-profit operators, since the organization’s mission is aligned with Residents’ well-being, not with returns to investors. That mission-driven approach is a big part of why Fleet Landing has earned its stellar reputation over more than three decades.
