Ritz-Carlton Residences Sarasota Bay tops off tower

Kolter Urban reaches a key milestone as The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay tops off ahead of its planned 2026 completion.

Kolter Urban has topped off The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay, marking a key construction milestone for the 20-story luxury condominium rising along Sarasota’s waterfront.

The tower is slated for delivery in late 2026 and will add 78 luxury residences to downtown Sarasota’s Quay neighborhood. Moss Construction is the project’s general contractor.

A visible milestone on Sarasota Bay

The topping off completes the building’s vertical structure and keeps the project on schedule.

“This milestone brings us closer to delivering a truly exceptional living experience in Sarasota,” said Brian Van Slyke, president of Kolter Urban’s West Coast division.

The development continues Sarasota’s evolution into a walkable, high-end waterfront district.

Expansive residences with water views

Designed by 10 Design with interiors by HBA Americas, the residences emphasize scale, light and unobstructed views.

Homes range from three to four bedrooms, spanning 3,500 to nearly 6,000 sq ft.

Each residence includes private elevator access, expansive terraces with built-in grills and floor-to-ceiling glass framing Sarasota Bay, the harbor, downtown and the Gulf of America.
