Kolter Group submits plans for 150-unit condominium.

SARASOTA, Fla. –  Construction at the once-quiet Quay Sarasota continues to speed up.

The Kolter Group has filed plans to build an 18-story, 150-unit condominium on the southeast corner of the bayfront tract, which would be the third project on the site.

Kolter has a contract to buy a one-acre site from GreenPointe Communities of Jacksonville, which bought the Quay property in late 2014 and is developing a $1 billion “urban village” with buildings on nine separate blocks of land.

Kolter is already under construction with the 73-unit Ritz-Carlton Residences on a 1.9-acre waterfront site. It is next to the Ritz-Carlton hotel and will be part of a combined campus. Occupancy is slated for late this year.

In addition, Lennar Multifamily plans a $150 million project that will contain 240 luxury apartments and about 14,000 square feet of retail and restaurants in a 12-story building on 1.65 acres along the North Trail. That building will contain a fifth-level “amenity deck” overlooking the one-acre Central Quay park and the boat basin.

The newly proposed condo will be on the eastern boundary of the 14-acre Quay, in what will be the southwest quadrants of the roundabout being constructed at U.S. 41 and Fruitville Road at the Quay entrance. Kolter has filed for site plan approval with the city.

The entire development — known for decades as Sarasota Quay, briefly as Sarasota Bayside and now Quay Sarasota — will reshape the bayfront and downtown. It is approved for up to 695 dwelling units, 175 hotel rooms, 189,050 square feet of space for shopping and dining uses, and nearly 39,000 square feet of office space in buildings that can span 18 stories.

Quay Sarasota is coming online amid a post-recession boom of residential and commercial construction in downtown, the Rosemary District and other areas of the city.

GreenPointe also is restoring the 93-year-old Belle Haven that sits in the center of the Quay. Once compete, it will become temporary office space for GreenPointe, with long-term uses that could include banks and medical tenants.

Built in 1985, the original Sarasota Quay was named to suggest European dockside luxury, but after 20 years it was better known for its high vacancy rate and a nightclub that drew frequent calls to city police. The property had been vacant since 2007, when Irish developer Paddy Kelly razed the nine-story main building and other structures. His overly ambitious development plans never got off the ground.

SARASOTA, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2019) – Students from the Booker High School Visual & Performing Arts (VPA) program recently contributed works of art which are on display at Quay Sarasota, a new mixed-use waterfront neighborhood destination with residential, retail, hotel and office opportunities under construction along downtown Sarasota’s waterfront.

GreenPointe Communities, the developer of Quay Sarasota, is collaborating with students from Booker High School’s VPA program, offering students the opportunity to exhibit and showcase their talents in the heart of Sarasota’s Arts and Cultural District.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with students and faculty from Booker High School’s VPA program at the Quay Sarasota Waterfront District,” said GreenPointe Communities Development Manager Brett Blank. “This is a wonderful partnership and we appreciate the opportunity to recognize the outstanding work and contributions by students from the local area.”

The artwork was installed on fencing surrounding the development site and encompasses 19 large size panels depicting a variety of contemporary images. While the VPA program has earned national rankings for its excellence in arts education, many students of the program have limited options when it comes to pursuing arts at the college level.

“I am so impressed with the talent and dedication I see from the VPA students at the Quay Sarasota site,” said Martha Flynn, President of Pathfinders Consulting Group, LLC, providing career readiness programs and events to Booker High School. “Experiences like this create interest, excitement and opportunity for the VPA program students.”

Quay Sarasota is an entirely new vision – a 14-acre waterfront district that will offer a blend of luxury residential, upscale retail, boutique hotel, and state-of-the-art office space in a scenic waterfront setting of natural beauty, eclectic architecture and active public spaces.

The event was attended by numerous city leaders including Sarasota Mayor Liz Alpert and Former Mayor and City Commissioner Shelli Freeland Eddie. Students and faculty from Booker High School included Principal Rachel Shelley, CTF Program Specialist Martha Flynn and student Antonio Hanamean. GreenPointe Communities is collaborating with students from Booker High School’s STEM program on the Quay Sarasota Waterfront District. The goal of the partnership is to provide a real-world experience for students to participate in the planning, design and construction of a $1 billion downtown development. Students will be exposed to the real estate development process including the design and construction of the Quay Sarasota Waterfront District.

“We are excited to partner with students and faculty from Booker High School’s STEM program on the Quay Sarasota Waterfront District,” Miars said. “This is a wonderful collaboration and opportunity to introduce students to numerous professionals and the many different career paths they can consider in real estate, construction and municipal government.”

SARASOTA, FL. (November 7, 2017) — The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota, (www.theresidencessarasota.com) will be the premier residential offering within the Quay Sarasota, announced Kolter Urban President, Bob Vail.

Originally sited on The Ritz-Carlton hotel property, The Ritz-Carlton Residences will now be built adjacent to the hotel on the last premier waterfront site in downtown Sarasota. This premium location in the Quay Sarasota development provides residence owners of the 18-story, 73-unit condominium tower with immediate access to the amenities of the hotel and the Quay offering while enjoying their private, owners-only amenities and services within The Ritz-Carlton campus.

“The opportunity to expand the new Ritz-Carlton Residences to a larger site, directly on the water, creates a more exclusive identity and delivers panoramic water views with dramatically expanded private amenities and lifestyle offerings,” stated Vail. “The timing and quality of the Quay development created the perfect opportunity for the offering.”

Being developed by Jacksonville, Florida-based GreenPointe Holdings LLC, the Quay Sarasota is a new 15-acre, mixed-use development featuring an upscale destination environment with residential, retail, hospitality and office space overlooking a yacht basin with boat slips, a waterfront park and boardwalk. “We are honored and excited to have The Ritz-Carlton Residences as the flagship residential offering within the Quay Sarasota community,” states Ed Burr, President and Chief Executive Officer of GreenPointe Holdings. “This certainly sets the tone for the sophisticated, destination environment being created on the Sarasota Bayfront.”

The new Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota will still feature 73 luxurious tower residences, and in the new location, Kolter has been able to expand upon the interior spaces. “The move impacts every residence in a positive way,” states Vail. “From larger floor plans to better view corridors, to an expanded array of on-site services and private amenities.”

Ritz-Carlton amenities include the renowned Jack Dusty restaurant, full-service spa and salon and membership to The Ritz-Carlton Beach Club and the Tom Fazio-designed Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. Owners at the new Residences will enjoy an expansive waterfront amenity plaza with a restaurant, and private, owners-only amenities that include a resort-style pool and separate lap/fitness pool, a well-equipped fitness center, residents’ clubroom, and numerous social gathering spaces, including an indoor-outdoor pool bar, demonstration kitchen for culinary events, in-residence dining and more. Private elevators will provide direct access to the waterfront as well as a private dog park.

“With the Quay at their doorstep and the incomparable services and amenities of The Ritz-Carlton at their fingertips, residence owners will have the best of both worlds,” added Vail.

“Our goal with the new tower was to create the area’s ultimate new waterfront luxury lifestyle, said Vail. “The enthusiasm already being expressed by the market is certainly encouraging of our efforts.”

The Kolter Group is scheduled to begin construction in the summer of 2018 with delivery anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020.
