“This launch represents years of intentional planning around what we view as the heart of downtown Sarasota and one of the most pivotal sites in the market,” said Sadek Omar , Partner at Jebcore Companies. “In partnership with Waldorf Astoria, our focus was on creating something truly distinctive by assembling a team with the depth and caliber required for a site of this significance and applying a high level of discipline to every decision. From the way the building engages the street to the character of its residences and shared spaces, each element was considered with purpose. We take great pride in delivering a project that respects its context, reflects architectural integrity, and contributes lasting value to the city.”

Residents of Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota will enjoy over 60,000 square feet of interior amenities, along with expansive outdoor spaces.

This stunning outdoor oasis provides residents with the ultimate in relaxation and entertainment.

“This site was safeguarded with a long-term view well before the path forward was defined,” said Curt Frost, President and CEO of WMG Development. “We believed in the importance of protecting this corner of downtown Sarasota for the right use and were willing to take that risk in service of the city’s future. That commitment guided every decision that followed and ultimately led us to partners who shared our conviction that this site deserved something meaningful. Seeing that vision come to life in a project of this quality has been incredibly rewarding.”
