There was a time when the Downtown Sarasota skyline did not look as imposing or gleaming as it does nowadays. In the early 1980s, city planners approved construction of Condo on the Bay Sarasota, an imposing waterfront condominium of high-rise towers that offers some of the best views of Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. These towers started a new chapter in residential development in Sarasota, a city that these days does not need to envy Tampa or Miami Beach.

As its name indicates, Condo on the Bay overlooks the Sarasota Bay. If you are lucky to acquire a penthouse or another unit located on the top floors, your view will be even more magnificent as it will include the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The mix of properties include townhomes with boat slips, four-bedroom penthouses as well as units with two and three bedrooms.

To get an idea of the price range at Condo on the Bay, consider the following listing from 2024: two bedrooms and two bathrooms with 1,555 square feet under air conditioning priced to sell $1.2 million. Naturally, the townhomes, penthouses and larger units can easily cost more than two million dollars. Latest pricing at Condo on the Bay Sarasota will be found below if there is inventory.

As one of the most upscale neighborhoods in Sarasota, Condo on the Bay is known for its elegant features and amenities. The breakfast bar and dining nooks are located close to panoramic windows, and most units have separate shower and bathtub stalls. Just about all units guarantee a great water view from the exterior balcony. Amenities include a bayfront infinity swimming pool, spa, fitness center, and a fishing pier. Since Condo on the Bay is at the end of Boulevard of the Arts, all the arts and performance spaces in Sarasota are within walking distance.

Even though there are 270 units at Condo on the Bay, only a handful of listings are available at any given time. If you are a property investor, you should know that these units are highly sought by seasonal residents and vacationers who are willing to pay premium prices to stay in this prestigious Sarasota address.
