About Us

At Coastal Systems, we believe the water’s edge is where opportunity and inspiration meet. For over 30 years, we’ve been shaping the future of waterfront and island developments throughout Florida, the Caribbean, and the Americas. We specialize in creating vibrant, sustainable destinations that respect the environment, enrich communities, and deliver lasting value for our clients and partners.

Our team brings together expertise in engineering, planning, design, construction, and operations—all under one roof. From private islands and resorts to urban waterfront revitalizations, we approach every project with a simple but powerful philosophy: Build smarter. Build stronger. Build for the long term.

Who We Are

Coastal Systems is a team of engineers, planners, designers, construction managers, and operational experts who are passionate about the coast. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with working at the water’s edge—because it’s where we live, work, and thrive.

Our leadership brings decades of real-world experience delivering successful projects in complex environments. We are hands-on, client-focused, and committed to excellence from concept through completion and beyond.

What We Do

We provide integrated services across every phase of development, including:

  • Waterfront and Destination Development: Planning and designing vibrant, accessible coastal spaces that balance economic success with environmental stewardship.
  • Real Estate Development: From site selection to acquisition to investment planning, we turn opportunities into thriving projects.
  • Land Planning and Urban Design: Building communities and destinations that are livable, resilient, and connected to their environment.
  • Engineering and Architecture: Delivering technical excellence in coastal, civil, environmental, and architectural design.
  • Construction: Building waterfront, marine, and infrastructure projects with precision and durability.
  • Operations and Resiliency Planning: Ensuring that waterfront assets are maintained, protected, and performing long after opening day.

Because our services are integrated, clients benefit from a streamlined, coordinated process with fewer handoffs, reduced risk, and faster results.

Our Approach

Every Coastal Systems project starts with a simple question: How do we build something that works—for today and tomorrow?

We take a holistic, hands-on approach to every challenge, combining creativity with technical rigor. Our designs respect natural systems. Our engineering anticipates change. Our construction practices protect investments. And our operations strategies keep destinations thriving long after they open.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every project, every client, and every site gets the personal attention it deserves—and the customized strategy it needs to succeed.

Our Commitment

We’re committed to delivering:

  • Excellence: Technical precision, creative problem-solving, and industry-leading quality at every stage.
  • Integrity: Honest advice, transparent communication, and a relentless focus on our clients’ best interests.
  • Stewardship: Sustainable practices that protect the environment and create lasting value for communities.
  • Innovation: Smarter, faster, and more resilient ways to build in coastal and island environments.

Let’s Build Something Exceptional

At Coastal Systems, we know that waterfront projects are about more than just property—they’re about creating experiences, protecting ecosystems, and leaving legacies. Whether you’re developing a private island, a world-class marina, or a thriving coastal community, we make it happen.
