Offering a generous selection of finishes, each of the 73 grand condominiums is fully appointed with ultimate style and energy-efficient features. “The Ritz-Carlton is the epitome of contemporary architectural design, embodying this unique waterfront setting by seamlessly blending clean lines, natural sunlight and a serene aquamarine seascape,” says Stefano Falbo, Vice President, SB Architects.

Spacious terraces invite owners to celebrate open-air living year-round, with panoramic vistas spanning from east to west to soak in downtown city views, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico and beyond.

OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR

An exciting new energy is beginning to transform into what will be Quay Sarasota and the newly envisioned Bayfront. “There’s never been a better time to enjoy the downtown waterfront lifestyle,” Vail notes. “With the planned expansion of The Bay, it’s destined to be a hub of Sarasota art, culture and historical legacies, as well as serving as a recreational area where families and friends can meet up and celebrate the natural beauty that surrounds them.” This cosmopolitan waterfront address will offer abundant boating opportunities. Quay Sarasota has grand plans for expansion of the existing marina, with available wet slips and dry storage for large boats and yachts.

In addition to the park, plans include the Quay Commons, featuring exciting new destinations for fine and casual dining, boutique shopping, festive public events and water-inspired activities. Just steps beyond, the revitalized Bayfront comes alive with innovative public spaces and vibrant performing arts venues. Currently home to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall and Sarasota Garden Club, The Bay will soon include expansive piers, gardens, a kayak launch, an outdoor concert venue, and more.
