Some waterfront communities offer beautiful views. Others offer the energy and convenience of an active downtown. The Quay Sarasota brings those qualities together along Sarasota Bay in a growing waterfront mixed-use district designed around residential living, dining, marina activity, public spaces and connections to downtown Sarasota.
The Quay Sarasota is a 14.54-acre waterfront mixed-use district that includes residences, waterfront dining, commercial uses, marina activity and public spaces, with additional retail and neighborhood offerings planned as the district continues to evolve.
For homeowners at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay, The Quay extends the residential experience beyond the home. Downtown restaurants, cultural venues, waterfront parks and public spaces are within walking or cycling reach, while nearby road and bridge connections provide convenient access to Sarasota’s barrier islands.
The waterfront helps define daily life at The Quay. Promenades and public spaces create opportunities for walking along Sarasota Bay, while marina activity adds a changing backdrop of boats, harbor views and life on the water.
Unlike waterfront communities that feel removed from the city around them, The Quay is connected to downtown Sarasota. Residents can enjoy a bayfront setting while remaining close to restaurants, galleries, performing arts venues, parks and cultural institutions.
For a closer look at the bay itself, including views, terraces, boating and waterfront recreation, visit Waterfront Living on Sarasota Bay.
Sarasota is widely known as Florida’s Cultural Coast because of its concentration of performing arts, museums, galleries and cultural institutions. Living at The Quay places residents close to the Sarasota Opera House, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Sarasota Orchestra, Sarasota Ballet, Burns Court Cinema, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, The Ringling Museum of Art and Asolo Repertory Theatre.
Throughout the year, performances, exhibitions, festivals and cultural events add variety to the downtown lifestyle and make the surrounding neighborhood feel active well beyond the waterfront itself.
Ocean Prime provides waterfront dining within The Quay, while nearby downtown Sarasota expands the options with restaurants, cafés, markets and gathering places throughout the city center.
As The Quay continues to evolve, additional commercial and retail offerings are planned to complement the district’s residential and waterfront character. The result is a neighborhood where dining and social experiences can become part of everyday life rather than destinations reserved only for special occasions.
The Bay Sarasota extends the surrounding waterfront experience with walking trails, tropical gardens, outdoor events, public gathering spaces and shoreline recreation.
Its proximity gives residents another way to enjoy Sarasota Bay, whether walking along the waterfront, attending an outdoor program, meeting friends in a public space or spending time in the landscape close to home.
The Quay’s location supports a lifestyle that is less dependent on driving for every activity. Many downtown restaurants, cultural venues, waterfront parks and public spaces are within walking or cycling reach.
The nearby John Ringling Bridge provides convenient access to St. Armands Circle and Lido Key, while waterfront trails and bike routes create additional opportunities for walking and cycling along Sarasota Bay.

The Harbor Club, private residential amenities, expansive residences and proximity to downtown Sarasota create a residential experience centered on waterfront living, service and convenience.
