About Dorchester

The Dorchester is a high-rise condominium at 6075 Pelican Bay Boulevard in the south-central part of the Pelican Bay community in North Naples. Built in 1981, the 16-story building holds just 86 residences, which gives it a boutique, concierge-style feel. The association has invested heavily in recent years, with listings citing a new roof in 2024, a backup generator and renovated lobby, reception, social and pool areas.

The building sits on the berm, and a Pelican Bay tram stop right outside the back entrance carries residents to the South Beach area and the Sandbar beach restaurant. The boardwalk through the mangroves is another easy way to reach the sand. Upper floors look over the preserve toward the Gulf, and the Pelican Bay Community Center, Waterside Shops, Artis Naples and The Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort are all close by.
