The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay

Estate-Scale Living on Sarasota Bay, Inside The Quay

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay is the second Ritz-Carlton-branded residential address in downtown Sarasota — rising directly on the waterfront in The Quay, the city's newest mixed-use waterfront district, alongside the original Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota tower that opened in 2021. This 20-story building holds a limited collection of just 78 residences, and the scale is genuinely rare for downtown Sarasota: units range from roughly 3,500 to nearly 6,000 square feet, with penthouses extending further still — single-family home proportions delivered as a full-service condominium.

Developed by Kolter Urban, whose Gulf Coast portfolio includes the original Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota and VUE Sarasota Bay, the tower is under active construction and has already reached full height, with delivery targeted for late 2026 — meaning buyers today are closer to move-in than most pre-construction Sarasota product.

Flow-through floor plans with dual east and west exposures let most residences capture both sunrise over the bay and sunset over the Gulf, framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass and expansive private terraces.
