Nearly 60 Feet of Glass Wraps the Great Room of This Ritz-Carlton Private Residence

Some residences are designed to capture a view. Residence E is designed around it. At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay, Residence E reflects an architectural approach rarely found in condominium living. Nearly 60 feet of glass wraps the principal living spaces, making Sarasota Bay an integral part of the home’s design. Natural light fills the residence throughout the day, expansive sightlines extend toward the harbor, and indoor and outdoor living flow effortlessly together.

Rather than relying on grand proportions alone, Residence E is distinguished by the way its architecture unites scale, light and waterfront living. With 4,001 square feet of interior living, 662 square feet of wraparound terraces and entertaining spaces more commonly associated with a private estate, the residence lives with a sense of openness and ease rarely found in luxury condominium living. Paired with Ritz-Carlton service, a walkable downtown setting and occupancy this season, it represents one of the most distinctive residential opportunities in Sarasota this year.

Estate-Scale Living High Above Sarasota Bay

Residence E was designed to live like a private estate home rather than a traditional condominium residence. Its generous proportions allow living, dining and entertaining spaces to unfold naturally, while nearly 60 feet of glass and expansive wraparound terraces create a seamless connection to Sarasota Bay.

Dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass encompasses the room, opening it to Sarasota Bay and filling the interior with shifting light throughout the day. Long sightlines extend toward the water, while the wraparound terrace draws entertaining naturally outdoors.

The living area is equally suited to intimate evenings and larger gatherings. Multiple seating areas can be arranged comfortably, the dining space has the presence for formal occasions, and the kitchen remains connected to the conversation while maintaining its own architectural character.

This sense of expansiveness is rare in a condominium residence. High above Sarasota Bay, Residence E offers the freedom to entertain with the ease, presence and privacy associated with a private estate home.

“With The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay nearing completion, buyers can now appreciate the actual views and the individuality of the remaining residences in a completely different way,” said Budge Huskey, Chief Executive Officer of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “On the north side of the building, Residence E presents a combination that is exceptionally rare in Sarasota: a harbor-side Great Room wrapped in glass, an expansive wraparound terrace and a scale that feels more like a private estate than a condominium residence.”

Three Terraces Create Distinct Outdoor Living Experiences

A single terrace extends a room. Three terraces transform the way a residence is lived.

Residence E’s 662 square feet of outdoor living is thoughtfully distributed across three distinct terraces, creating separate places to entertain, dine, enjoy the morning air or retreat from the activity of the main living spaces. The principal terrace wraps the Great Room, strengthening the connection between the residence and Sarasota Bay while extending entertaining naturally outdoors.

Additional terraces introduce a quieter dimension to the home. Positioned near the bedroom wing, they provide private outdoor settings apart from the energy of the main living areas. Together, the terraces allow the residence to change character throughout the day, offering multiple perspectives of the harbor, the city and the changing light across Sarasota Bay.

Designed for the Ritz-Carlton lifestyle

Exceptional residences deserve an equally exceptional way of living.

At The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay, daily life is elevated by the legendary anticipatory service of the Ladies and Gentlemen of The Ritz-Carlton. A dedicated residential team, 24-hour concierge, valet and on-site management quietly anticipate owners’ needs, transforming everyday moments into effortless experiences. Whether welcoming guests, arranging transportation, coordinating housekeeping or preparing for an evening of entertaining, the details are handled with the personalized attention that has defined The Ritz-Carlton for generations.

One of the property’s most distinctive experiences centers around its private culinary program. Whether beginning the morning with coffee overlooking Sarasota Bay, ordering a chef-prepared lunch after time on the water, arranging cocktails before guests arrive or enjoying dinner delivered directly to the residence, owners have access to a level of hospitality rarely found in private residential buildings. It reinforces one of the defining characteristics of life at The Ritz-Carlton: exceptional service woven naturally into everyday moments.

That level of service changes the way the residence is experienced. Owners spend less time managing a home and more time enjoying it, whether relaxing on the terrace, entertaining friends or setting out to enjoy Sarasota Bay.

The Harbor Club Adds an Entirely Different Dimension

Beyond the thoughtfully designed private residential amenities, The Harbor Club extends the harborside lifestyle through dedicated wellness, recreation and waterfront experiences. Together, the residence, the building amenities and The Harbor Club create an ownership experience that is uniquely Sarasota and unmistakably Ritz-Carlton.

Conceived as a private club campus, the wellness and fitness offerings support a highly personalized approach to health and movement, with waterfront fitness spaces, a movement studio and a private training room. The Marina and Outdoor Sports Center connect residents directly to the water, with staff assistance available for kayaks, paddleboards and other waterfront pursuits.
