The Poinciana Island Drive project is one of the most extensive residential seawall and marine-side reconstruction efforts undertaken in this North Miami waterfront community. Valued at $4 million, the program addressed critical shoreline infrastructure, structural reinforcement, and comprehensive exterior improvements across 10 residential plazas supporting 120 townhomes. The project included 4,120 linear feet of seawall and wood-decking replacement, installation of 391 new wood pilings and 422 concrete King piles, as well as structural repairs, painting, and waterproofing throughout the community.

This multifaceted scope required significant marine construction expertise and precise logistical coordination. Fortify executed full demolition and replacement of the aging seawall and adjacent deck structures, installing new pilings designed to increase load capacity and enhance long-term shoreline stability. The team reinforced structural elements across the residential plazas, corrected deterioration caused by marine exposure, and implemented a full exterior protection system through fresh painting, waterproofing, and sealant applications. These improvements were essential not only for structural performance but also for maintaining the visual uniformity of the community’s waterfront aesthetic.

The primary challenge of the Poinciana project involved managing large-scale marine construction in a heavily occupied residential environment. Access to the work zones was highly restricted by waterway conditions, tide schedules, and active marina use by residents. Coordinating specialized equipment, maintaining safety around waterfront edges, and ensuring continuous resident access required a disciplined construction strategy. Additionally, structural improvements across 10 plazas demanded sequencing that balanced efficiency with minimal disruption to homeowners.

Fortify implemented a comprehensive logistics plan that integrated marine staging, phased shoreline access, and coordinated work across multiple crews to maintain steady progress. By leveraging experienced marine construction partners alongside its W2 labor force, Fortify upheld strict quality standards while navigating a complex and dynamic work environment. Regular communication with the HOA and property management ensured residents were well-informed and maintained confidence throughout the construction process.

The project was completed successfully, resulting in a modernized seawall system, reinforced shoreline infrastructure, and improved exterior conditions across the entire community. The new wood and concrete piling systems provide enhanced structural support, while the updated waterproofing and painting deliver long-term protection against Florida’s coastal conditions. The Poinciana Island Drive project demonstrates Fortify’s ability to execute large-scale, technically demanding marine and structural work while maintaining strong coordination with residents, management teams, and waterfront constraints.
