Coming to one of Southwest Florida’s last available stretches of waterfront are the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay. Set in 500 acres of lush land and adjacent to the natural beauty of the state’s premier aquatic preserve, Estero Bay presents a rare opportunity in a sheltered oasis for the legendary brand unlike any other. Uniting luxurious living and the wonders of nature, an architectural masterpiece consisting of two towers will rise 22 stories.

The visionary behind this unprecedented property is London Bay Development Group, which today announced its foray into the market and the start of sales of the first tower, comprising 112 distinguished condominium homes. Embracing a vision of creating unparalleled lifestyles in the best locations in Southwest Florida, the company has built a legacy of delivering luxury residences in prestigious coastal zip codes.

Nestled between Sanibel Island and Naples, Florida, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay overlook endless views of the water and Saltleaf Marina. Dreamed up by world-renowned design firm Arquitectonica, the cascading facades take inspiration from the undulation of the waterfront, blending seamlessly into the surrounding topography. Allowing for maximized views from each residence, the rounded shape of the buildings was deliberately designed to frame the sky and capture natural light from sunrise to sunset.

Starting at $2 million, residences range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet and include two, three, and four bedrooms. Homes will have a dedicated private elevator entrance, stunning bay sunset views, and spacious balconies that enhance outdoor livability, spanning up to 2,200 square feet. Each is available with a den, for flexible use to meet any lifestyle need, including an office, family room, or library. The Residences should come out of the ground by the end of the year.

Airy and bright floor plans flow through a contemporary palette and timeless design. Buyers will have a selection of three finishes for the kitchen and main bathroom in light, medium and dark tones. Storage will be plentiful, with very generous bedroom closets and a private storage unit for each owner located on the resident floor.

A grand port-cochere at the main entrance greets with sweeping views of the coastal sanctuary, triggering an instant tranquility upon arrival. With interiors by award-winning New York design studio Meyer Davis, natural colors, raw textures and soft touches honor the essence of the Gulf Coast. These amplify the senses of this balanced ecosystem, both within the awe-inspiring property and beyond. Incorporating elements from the tropical paradise, the millwork will lend warmth, while rare and exquisite stones and luxury fabrics mingle to exude the pinnacle of elevated lifestyle.

The Ritz-Carlton’s legendary service and personal relationship with residents will be evident in every facet of the property. A premium concierge service will combine comfort and convenience with bespoke experiences, making everyday life seamless. From private training to on-site grooming, beauty parlor and spa treatments, every desire is catered for.

A rich amenities program speaks to the hobbies and passions of all residents, with 36,000 square feet of interior offerings. For health enthusiasts, a garden-view wellness center offers a fitness room, yoga and Pilates studio, private workout section, and locker rooms with steam room and sauna. For the kids, dedicated kid and teen lounges will be welcome distractions for parents, who can work in the meeting room or business center, or grab a snack at one of the many on-site dining options .

An 8,000 square foot central space on the property accommodates both memorable activities and downtime. As an evening ritual, enjoy the sunset in the Sunset Lounge, gather with family and friends for an intimate dinner in the private dining room or catch a game in the Sports/News Café. Plus, entertainers can indulge in the wine and whiskey bar, host a game of poker in the card room, or head to the show and catering kitchen, perfect for interactive cooking lessons.
