Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota

Waldorf Astoria Comes to Sarasota's Five Points

Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota marks the legendary hospitality brand's first residential address on Florida's Gulf Coast — and its arrival at the corner of Main Street and Pineapple Avenue puts it at the literal center of downtown Sarasota's Five Points district. Rising 18 stories on the site of the former Zenith building, this standalone residential tower pairs Waldorf Astoria's century of “Sincerely Elegant Service” with architecture built for coastal Florida: 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass, and sweeping curved terraces that frame views of Sarasota Bay and the downtown skyline.

Developed by Jebcore Companies and WMG Development in partnership with Hilton, the tower will hold just 86 private residences, ranging from one- to five-bedroom layouts, each with private elevator access. Interiors are by New York-based Workshop/APD; the exterior architecture is by ODP Architecture & Design, known for disciplined coastal design work across Florida.

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.

For buyers weighing Sarasota's current wave of branded towers, Waldorf Astoria's draw is scarcity and pedigree — only 86 homes will ever exist, in a location that puts Sarasota Bay, the marina, the Sarasota Opera House, and downtown's best dining within walking distance.

The Five Points Lifestyle

Waldorf Astoria Residences sits at what locals consider the true center of gravity in downtown Sarasota — the intersection where Main Street meets Pineapple Avenue. From your front door, Sarasota Bay, the marina, and the Bayfront are a short walk away, alongside the Sarasota Opera House, the galleries and boutiques of the Burns Court Historic District, and a dining scene that ranges from casual waterfront seafood to chef-driven tasting menus. Siesta Key's world-ranked beaches are a short drive; Tampa International Airport is about 30 minutes away.
