Peninsula Sarasota

Peninsula Sarasota occupies roughly an acre near the entrance to Golden Gate Point, the 22-acre residential peninsula that extends into Sarasota Bay from the foot of the John Ringling Causeway. The project was developed by Sam Gault of Gault Family Companies and designed by Sarasota's Hoyt Architects as two architecturally matched buildings flanking a central raised pool deck above gated parking, with Gilbane serving as general contractor. Plans were unveiled in 2022, construction began in June 2023, and the buildings topped out on March 12, 2025 — a milestone the developer marked by pointing toward move-ins around Thanksgiving of that year. Construction stayed on track through the 2024 hurricane season, and the first residents began moving in as completion wrapped in late 2025. As of July 2026, Peninsula Sarasota is complete and occupied, and it has settled quickly into the rhythm of Golden Gate Point's brick streets. With only 23 residences — every one a three-bedroom or three-bedroom-plus-den plan — it is among the smaller of the new buildings reshaping the point, designed, in its architect's words, to honor and elevate the character the neighborhood is known for.

The twenty-three residences are divided between the two buildings, with floor plans limited to three-bedroom and three-bedroom-plus-den layouts ranging from roughly 2,400 to more than 3,000 square feet; some combined plans run larger. One building is organized around full-floor residences — a single home per level — while the other places a small number of homes on each floor, so no residence has more than a few neighbors. Private elevator access opens into the homes, and interiors for the project were designed by New York's Karen Asprea Studio. Deep terraces orient living spaces toward Sarasota Bay, the marina and the downtown skyline, and every residence comes with two under-building parking spaces with EV charging available in the gated garage.

The two buildings are connected by a raised amenity platform built above the parking level. Its centerpiece is a resort-style swimming pool and sun deck facing Sarasota Bay, joined by fire-pit seating areas for evening gatherings. Inside, residents share a fitness center, an owners' gathering room, and a dedicated wine room with private storage for each residence. A rooftop residents' lounge overlooks the bay — a vantage point for sunsets over the Ringling Bridge. The buildings are access-controlled with concierge service, keeping day-to-day arrivals and deliveries simple at a 23-residence scale.

Daily life here is shaped by the water on every side. Mornings often start with the loop around Golden Gate Point's brick streets or a climb over the Ringling Bridge, where the sidewalk fills with runners at sunrise. The bayfront path leads past the sailboats at Marina Jack toward downtown coffee shops, farmers market Saturdays and evening performances at the opera house and nearby theaters. Afternoons stretch out at the pool deck or across the bridge on Lido's sand, and days tend to end at the rooftop lounge, where the sun sets behind the bridge and the boats swing at anchor in the bay below.
