Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota

Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota is planned for the Main Street and Pineapple Avenue corner at Five Points, a pivotal intersection in downtown Sarasota. The project is described by Hilton as an 18-story, standalone residential tower with 86 private residences, developed by Jebcore Companies and WMG Development. ODP Architecture & Design is the architect, and Workshop/APD is the interior designer. The city-facing site combines the former 1390 Main Street office building and adjacent 40 South Pineapple Avenue parcel in a redevelopment reviewed by the City of Sarasota as case 25-ASP-12. City agenda material records full Development Review Committee sign-off by May 20, 2026. That is a planning milestone, not proof of a building permit or physical construction start. Hilton announced the project in November 2025 and announced the commencement of sales on January 27, 2026. Its January announcement anticipated construction beginning in late 2026 and completion in 2029. Until a developer or government record confirms later milestones, this remains a planned address with a published schedule rather than a completed downtown building.

The project team identifies 86 private residences, with one- through five-bedroom configurations planned across the tower. Hilton describes 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, curved terraces with glass railings, and private elevator access as part of the intended residential program. Published materials also describe large-format flooring, designer kitchens with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and concierge closets intended for deliveries. These details communicate the design direction, but they should not be read as a substitute for final plans, specifications, association documents, or availability. ODP describes the project as an 18-story building with a residential component, commercial space, and dedicated parking. The physical setting matters as much as the interior program: this is a vertical project at one of downtown's most recognizable crossings, where Main Street leads west toward the bayfront and Pineapple Avenue connects the downtown grid. Final floor plans, parking allocations, pet policies, leasing rules, and delivery procedures remain matters for the project team and future association documents to confirm.

Hilton's January 2026 announcement describes more than 60,000 square feet of planned interior amenities and outdoor spaces. The proposed program includes Peacock Alley Lounge, a library, a private dining room, a wellness center, spa treatment rooms, Pilates and motion studios, infrared saunas, steam rooms, a golf simulator, a theater lounge, guest suites, and dedicated children’s and teen spaces. Outdoor plans include a 25,000-square-foot elevated garden, a resort-style pool, hot and cold plunge pools, an entertainment lawn, a shaded grove, and a Florida Pavilion with a bar and grilling stations. The announcement also describes planned valet service, a private porte-cochère on Mira Mar Court, a house-car program, golf-cart service, and day-yacht access. All of these are planned offerings for a project not yet confirmed as open. Final operating policies, access arrangements, reservation systems, service terms, and amenity completion timing should be confirmed directly with the project team as development advances.

The public setting around Five Points gives this planned address its clearest day-to-day context. Start at Selby Five Points Park, then follow Main Street toward galleries, restaurants, and the bayfront. Pineapple Avenue leads north toward the Sarasota Opera House and the Rosemary District, while Palm Avenue offers a gallery walk closer to the water. The Bay Park and Quay district add lawns, shoreline paths, marina views, and another route back into downtown. This page describes the location, not a promise about the future building experience. Construction has not been confirmed as underway by the primary sources used here, and published completion timing remains a projection. What is already fixed is the site’s relationship to Sarasota’s street grid: it is at a downtown crossroads where a short walk can move between a park, a performance, a gallery, a restaurant, and the waterfront. As project milestones are formally announced, the page can be updated with those verified facts.
