Ever since the Downtown Sarasota residential market entered a period of revitalization a few years ago, it seems as if every new project is intended to top the previous ones. What started off with the renovation of a few condominium towers has turned into a competition in which developers outdo each other with projects that become increasingly impressive, and this explains how the Evolution Sarasota came about.

Located in the exclusive Golden Gate district of Downtown Sarasota, Evolution is a very exclusive and luxurious mid-rise condominium with only 20 units. For all practical purposes, you can think of these units as penthouses because of their generous living spaces, which range between 2,050 and 3,527 square feet, but there is no question that the most well-appointed units with the best views of the Sarasota Bay and the skyline are on the top floors.

The design of this boutique condominium was conceived by DSDG, a prestigious architectural firm that has completed projects such as the Oceane condominium in Siesta Key as well as the Bay Street Village and Town Center in Osprey. Funding was provided by WB Finance s.r.o., an urban development firm based in Prague.

As of late 2024 a five-bedroom penthouse on the sixth floor with five bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, wrap-around balconies, and sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico was listed under $4.5M. Latest pricing at the Evolution Sarasota will be found below if there is inventory.

The Evolution Sarasota concludes the redevelopment plan of the Golden Gate district, and it is doing so with lots of style. As can be expected, concierge service is provided along with top-notch amenities such as a swimming pool, spa, and a terrace lounge for barbecue parties. Inside the Evolution tower, residents and their guests can work out in a state-of-the-art complete with a sauna room and yoga studio. There’s also a conference room and a plush lounge.

As befits an upscale community such as Evolution, its prime location offers easy access to fine dining restaurants and trendy boutiques at the nearby St. Armands Circle. The white sands of Longboat Key beach are close enough for a bike ride.
