Amara on Sarasota Bay

550 Golden Gate Point, Sarasota, FL

Amara on Sarasota Bay occupies 550 Golden Gate Point, a narrow peninsula that places the building between the calm water of Sarasota Bay and the grid of Downtown Sarasota, one of the most fortunate positions on Florida's Gulf Coast. The eight-story development holds a private collection of 57 residences, and every part of the program is organized around capturing water and city views from as many rooms as possible. Homes are offered in two- to four-bedroom layouts with dens, drawn from seven distinct floor plans, so buyers can choose between a compact seasonal residence and a larger full-time home without leaving the building or the community. Grand, open living areas flow onto expansive terraces that frame Sarasota Bay, the marina and the downtown skyline, and the layouts are planned for indoor-outdoor living that works as well in January as it does in July. The amenity offering is centered on a waterfront pool terrace overlooking the city and the marina, the natural gathering point of the property, supported by a waterfront esplanade, fitness facilities and resident social spaces that take full advantage of the bayfront setting. Marina access makes boating and water-based activity part of daily life rather than an occasional excursion. Beyond the property line, Golden Gate Point sits within minutes of Downtown Sarasota's restaurants and cultural venues, Selby Gardens, St. Armands Circle and the Gulf beaches, giving residents an urban and a coastal life in the same afternoon. Amara is expected to deliver in 2028 and is selling now. Its appeal lies in that balance: the privacy of a small waterfront building with the cultural and culinary depth of a real city minutes away, and a bayfront orientation that shapes the residences rather than decorating them. Selling now, with delivery anticipated in 2028, it is a building for buyers who want the water as the organizing principle of daily life.
