1000 Boulevard of the Arts is one of the most closely watched projects in downtown Sarasota's current wave of development — a 20-story tower delivering 117 luxury residences directly overlooking Sarasota Bay, The Bay Park, and Quay Harbor, with a full-service Hyatt Centric® Harborside hotel built into the same building. Residents and hotel guests have entirely separate entrances, elevators, and amenity spaces — but the hotel's presence means an on-site restaurant, bar, and event space are always available without residents sharing their own pool or fitness center.
Developed by Kolter Urban — the team behind VUE Sarasota Bay, The Mark Sarasota, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences Sarasota — with architecture by SB Architects and interiors by ID & Design International, 1000 Boulevard of the Arts offers one- to three-bedroom residences (many with a den) ranging from roughly 1,200 to over 3,100 square feet. Because the residential floors begin at level 4 (Bay-side) and level 15 (Harbor-side), nearly every unit clears the tree line, meaning even lower floors deliver genuine water views.
Ownership here comes with real, tangible privileges most condominiums can't offer: Hilton Honors Diamond status for the length of ownership, preferred rates at Waldorf Astoria properties worldwide, a dedicated Hilton concierge, and access to the brand's global lifestyle programs. It's a residence and a membership at once.
The project moved quickly out of the gate — surpassing $40 million in reservations within its first 45 days — and is currently in active pre-construction, with vertical construction targeted to begin in 2026 or 2027 and delivery expected in late 2028.
