London Bay Development Group marks a major milestone with an exclusive event celebrating the South Tower’s progress and offering a sneak peek into the luxe lifestyle of Estero Bay’s premier waterfront community.
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. ─ On February 18, 2025, London Bay Development Group hosted an exclusive reception to celebrate the topping out of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay’s South Tower. Now soaring 22 stories above the Southwest Florida coastline, the event brought future residents together for an evening of connection and a glimpse into the lifestyle that awaits.
With move-ins just over a year away for South Tower residents, guests raised their glasses to their soon-to-be waterfront retreat, where world-class design, a refined lifestyle, and an unparalleled location are taking shape along the tranquil shores of Estero Bay.
“Topping out is our most significant milestone to date. It’s one of the first moments where you can step back and truly start to envision what the property will look like,” said Mark Wilson, CEO of London Bay Development Group. “After so many years of conceptualization and planning, it’s surreal to realize that in just over a year, we’ll be here again, this time welcoming residents into their homes for the first time.”
This milestone was marked with an ‘Over the Top’ celebration, complete with a red carpet entrance, Champagne Lallier service, outdoor chandeliers, velvet décor, and live jazz—all set against the tower aglow in a spectacle worthy of Hollywood. The event highlighted exquisite culinary offerings, bayfront ambiance, and exceptional service, showcasing the development's unique appeal.
Throughout the immersive evening, guests mingled with their future neighbors, creating the foundational connections that will be so crucial to the community pillar of the larger Saltleaf on Estero Bay coastal village.
“What is most important is for residents to begin getting to know one another, build friendships, and enjoy the lifestyle that’s developing with each day,” adds Wilson. “The priority will be to continue creating opportunities for residents to connect and build bonds now, even before moving into the building. Whether it’s celebrating the next milestone, at the golf course, or on the water, community is key.”
The South Tower is quickly approaching sold-out status, with fewer than ten residences remaining. Now, attention turns to the North Tower along with the final two penthouse floor plans, as discerning buyers vie for the chance to own their slice of this unparalleled residential destination.
Saltleaf, an emerging 500-acre coastal village, lies adjacent to Estero Bay, Florida’s first-ever aquatic preserve. As the first residential offering within the neighborhood, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay will feature 224 distinguished residences across two 22-story towers, offering sweeping views of Estero Bay and beyond into the Gulf of Mexico. The property itself will occupy 30 acres, spanning from the entry sequence to the towers, and a wondrous lagoon.
Five of its 30 acres are dedicated to luxury indoor and outdoor amenities such as the Sunset Lounge for evening cocktails, a choice of three cascading pools, a state-of-the-art Wellness Center, and a Whiskey & Wine room designed for your most prized collections, just to name a few.
Priced from the $3 millions, residences range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet and are available with two, three, and four bedrooms, featuring dedicated private elevator lobbies, a separate den, sweeping sunset balconies, world-class interior design, and much more.
Expected to break ground later this year, the North Tower will embody the same celebrated design, upscale lifestyle, and sought-after waterfront location as its sister to the south.
The North Tower will introduce additional amenities, including a state-of-the-art sports simulation room, offering enthusiasts and athletes an ideal venue for honing their skills, in addition to a luxuriously appointed screening room that will offer a theater-like setting for top-tier movie nights.
An all-new collection of Tower Suites presents a unique opportunity for homeowners to cater to individual needs or interests. These for-sale spaces are reserved for owners, providing them a versatile canvas to host, work, or create, allowing customization to enhance any lifestyle.
Guest suites are also a valuable addition to the array of conveniences, offering exclusive overnight accommodation options akin to hotel rooms for homeowners' guests, complete with five-star Ritz-Carlton hospitality.
Beyond residents’ doors, a world of outdoor activities awaits, with easy access to some of the best that Southwest Florida has to offer.
Adjacent to the property, Saltleaf Marina is taking shape with 72 private boat slips and a chef-driven restaurant, set to deliver in tandem with the South Tower in early 2026. From paddleboarding and kayaking to fishing charters and sunset cruises, the marina will offer endless ways to enjoy the water.
Further into the community, Saltleaf Golf Preserve features both an 18-hole championship course and a nine-hole short course, set within a lush nature preserve. Here, every round offers an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature. Now open daily to the public – no tee time required.
