Peninsula Sarasota

Golden Gate Point has always felt like a secret hiding in plain sight — a brick-paved spit of land dangling off downtown Sarasota, ringed by water on three sides. Peninsula Sarasota claimed two of its last great sites, at 223 and 283 Golden Gate Point, and turned them into a single boutique condominium of just 23 residences. The project comes from Gault Family Companies, led by Sam Gault, in partnership with Coastal Luxury Homes and its principal Joe Feinleib, with architecture by Sarasota's Hoyt Architects and construction by Gilbane. Ground broke in May 2023, the buildings topped off in March 2025, and the developer welcomed its first move-ins in late 2025, making this one of the newest completed buildings on the Point. The two towers read as siblings rather than twins: one holds full-floor residences — a rarity in Sarasota — while the larger tower carries the shared spaces, including a second-floor amenity level and a rooftop residents' lounge looking west over the bay. Everything about the place is scaled to feel personal, from the access-controlled entry to the gated parking podium that quietly connects the two buildings below.

All 23 residences are three-bedroom plans, and none of them are small. The developer's floor plans run from Residence B at 2,670 square feet with three baths, to Residence A at 3,382 square feet, to Residence C at 3,428 square feet with three-and-a-half baths plus a den. Ceilings are ten feet throughout, and floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto generous wraparound terraces — most with built-in outdoor gas grills — framing city, bay, and marina views. Finishes lean contemporary: European cabinetry, hardwood or large-format porcelain floors, and kitchens fitted with Gaggenau or Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, with spa-style primary baths featuring soaking tubs and walk-in showers. In the smaller tower, each residence takes its entire floor, so the elevator opens into your own home. Penthouse residences add private rooftop access. Every home comes with two under-building parking spaces, and EV charging is available in the garage.

The signature space is the rooftop Residents' Lounge, perched atop the larger tower with open views across Sarasota Bay toward Lido — the developer designed it squarely around the evening sky. Below it, the shared spaces were designed by Karen Asprea Studio and include a resort-style pool and sun deck, fire pit areas, a fitness center and yoga studio, and a gathering room with wine storage for owners. Concierge services and access-controlled entry keep the day-to-day easy, and the gated parking podium beneath the towers holds 51 spaces — two per residence — with EV charging. What Peninsula does not advertise is just as telling: there is no sprawling amenity checklist here, just a short list of well-considered spaces sized for 23 households.

Days here tend to organize themselves around the water. Morning walks trace the loop of the Point, where the bay flashes between buildings on every block. Kayaks and paddleboards launch from the marinas adjacent to the neighborhood, and Marina Jack — a short stroll away — handles everything from dinner on the water to charter fishing and sunset sails. Evenings pull toward downtown: the Sarasota Opera and Florida Studio Theatre are minutes away, Palm Avenue's art walks fill the first Friday of the season, and the Saturday farmers market takes over Main Street year-round. When the gulf calls, Lido Beach and the shops and restaurants of St. Armands Circle are one bridge away, with the sunset drive back over the Ringling Causeway as the reliable finale.
