Robert Linekin, a distinguished freelance developer based in Naples, Florida, and Long Island, New York, has made a significant mark in the realms of custom home, commercial, and industrial warehouse design and Development. His extensive portfolio demonstrates his capability to transform conceptual designs into tangible, functional structures. Recently, he has completed several industrial warehouses, including a 66,000-square-foot climate-controlled flex industrial warehouse in a prime Naples location and a 60,000-square-foot space at Innovation at ITEC K. Moreover, his recent projects in Fort Meyers, Florida—an 80,000-square-foot micro-flex industrial warehouse and a 46,000-square-foot facility—further solidify his expertise in managing large-scale developments. He provides in-house financing through Sound Point Funding, which facilitates ownership for clients, enhancing the attractiveness of his projects. His ongoing developments are poised to introduce an impressive 1,000,000 sq ft of industrial flex space to the Southwest Florida region. The projects currently under Development, set to be completed by fall 2025, include the Beck Boulevard Flex Industrial in Naples and the Innovation at ITEC 3 Flex Industrial. These projects will offer a combined 220,000 square feet of air-conditioned space, accommodating specific needs such as auto and custom motor coach storage, with high-end finishes and functional mezzanines. His role spans various phases of Development, from needs assessment and site selection to budget management and navigating the zoning and planning approvals. During the construction phase, he collaborates closely with architects and engineers to ensure the warehouse layouts are optimized for storage capacity and operational efficiency. His designs typically feature high ceilings, mezzanine floors, and loading docks, and he is keen on integrating sustainable technologies like LED lighting and energy-efficient HVAC systems to reduce environmental impact and operational costs. In the custom residential sector, Linekin's designs are renowned for their beauty and functionality, fulfilling the dreams of homeowners. He has designed and built stunning custom homes in Cold Spring Harbor and meticulously renovated historic properties, such as a 200-year-old barn in Lloyd Harbor. His attention to detail ensures that each home is crafted to meet the specific desires and lifestyle needs of his clients, featuring eco-friendly materials, advanced lighting systems, and luxurious amenities like heated floors, wine cellars, and expansive outdoor living spaces. The interior finishes of the homes he develops play a crucial role in setting the ambiance and reflecting the homeowner's taste. He works closely with clients to choose finishes that complement their lifestyles, whether it's the rustic charm of white 10" plank quarter-sawn oak flooring or the modern sleekness of stone countertops. His designs extend to the outdoors, where he creates serene living spaces that seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings, enhancing the overall home experience. Bob Linekin is an alumnus of the State University of New York at Oneonta, where he majored in Physics and Math, providing a solid analytical foundation for his work in Development. His education began at St. Francis Preparatory in Fresh Meadows, New York, and St. Andrew Avellino Catholic Academy in Flushing, New York, grounding him in a tradition of excellence and community service that he carries into every project he undertakes. His approach not only meets the architectural and functional needs of his clients but also contributes positively to the communities he works within.
