“What Does It Feel Like to Truly See Your Sarasota Home Before It’s Built?”
Posted on November 12, 2025
Over the past decade, Kolter Urban has contributed significantly to shaping Sarasota’s evolving residential skyline. The company has created landmark addresses including VUE Sarasota Bay, The Mark Sarasota, Bayso and The Ritz-Carlton Residences Sarasota. Kolter Urban is currently offering pre-construction pricing on 1000 Boulevard of the Arts, located in the downtown waterfront district at The Quay.
What defines our work is something simple yet meaningful: every building we develop is designed around how people truly want to live.
And because of that, the discovery of a new residence should not feel overwhelming. It should feel welcoming, clear, and inspiring. That is the experience curated at our Sales Gallery on Main Street, where prospective homeowners are invited to explore the building through a blend of immersive technology, tactile design detail, and personal conversation.
While I am not on-site daily myself, our Sales Advisors, Joey Lopez and Sarah Harrington, are there each day, guiding guests through the building’s design in an environment that is informative, relaxed, and easy to engage with.
INTRODUCING AN IMMERSIVE WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE
The most exciting part of the Sales Gallery experience is our new OneLink® interactive presentation system. This dynamic visual platform allows you to:
- Select a residence
- Step directly into its perspective and view
- Understand light, elevation, and orientation
- Explore amenity environments in walk-through detail
- Experience how the building connects to The Quay waterfront district
This is particularly valuable as The Quay continues to evolve as one of Sarasota’s most vibrant waterfront neighborhoods. The ability to preview a future view today brings a sense of clarity and closeness to the decision.
Supporting the digital experience are two physical elements:
- A full-size designer kitchen, built to scale, to understand finishes and craftsmanship through touch and proportion.
- A handcrafted architectural scale model that offers immediate visual understanding of the building’s form, placement, and amenity level.
Together, these elements form a presentation that lets you both see the architecture and feel the lifestyle.
UNDERSTANDING THE BUILDING: KEY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What makes The Quay such a desirable location?
It is a walkable waterfront district that connects directly to The Bay Park, dining, arts venues, and Sarasota’s cultural life. It offers both vibrancy and waterfront calm.
How are the residences oriented to the views?
Residences are organized into two distinct series: Bay Residences with north- and west-facing views toward Sarasota Bay and The Bay Park, and Harbor Residences on upper levels with elevated outlooks toward the Quay Harbor and The Gulf.
What differentiates the Bay and Harbor Residences?
Bay Residences provide a closer connection to The Bay Park and span the full height of the building. Harbor Residences begin on the 15th level, providing an elevated vantage point, ideal for those who prefer broader horizon views.
How varied are the floorplans?
There are 17 unique floorplans ranging from one-bedroom plus den to three-bedroom plus den, with pricing beginning around $1.5 million to $2.5 million depending on floorplan and view.
How would you describe the lifestyle?
It is relaxed sophistication. Natural light, movement between indoors and outdoors, connection to culture, and simplicity in daily rhythms.
What defines the amenity experience?
The amenity environments are designed to feel comfortable and contemporary, plus easy to use. They include wellness spaces, pool deck, co-work spaces, outdoor leisure environments, and thoughtfully scaled social settings.
