With over $600 million in sales to date, what’s driving longtime SWFL homeowners to make the move?
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. ─ The construction pace at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay has certainly captured attention, but it's the resort-level living that truly sets it apart. That said, the fast-growing community of owners each has their own unique reason for choosing to trade their current homes for a life at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay.
“Many buyers are locals who’ve called this area home for years and see The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay as a path to an elevated lifestyle,” says Mark Wilson, CEO and President of London Bay Development Group.
Jason Sherman, who has witnessed Estero Bay's transformation over the last two decades, describes the property as “the future of luxury living.” The arrival of a luxury-branded residence right down the street from his current home was an unexpected opportunity in Naples’ quieter, more northern neighbor. “The Ritz-Carlton backing of this property was the key factor for me—it’s what really made me pull the trigger,” he reflects on his choice to relocate. “It’s going to be like living in a five-star resort. You could call it a permanent vacation.”
Future neighbor Matthew Patel shares a similar sentiment: “We’ve vacationed in the area for decades and purchased a home here years ago. Watching the growth over time, we've seen how each new development raises the bar. When we heard about The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, we knew this was something special—an irreplaceable piece of land with a well-thought-out vision and long-term value.”
For others, transitioning to high-rise living offers a new level of convenience and flexibility.
“The ‘lock-and-go’ lifestyle was a major selling point for us,” says one of the property’s first buyers and repeat London Bay customer. “The chores that our current single-family home requires when we leave will disappear. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay will provide a top-notch service team who will ensure the property remains in immaculate condition, no matter how long we’re away.”
Just beyond residents’ doorsteps, the surrounding Saltleaf community promises to enrich daily life in ways not packaged before.
“Here, we will have access to truly everything we need and more – boating, fishing, pools, dining, golf, spas, fitness – it’s as good as it gets,” explains Mark Lye, former golf professional and longtime SWFL resident. “I’m most excited for the marina-front location, turning boat ownership from a chore into a total joy.”
As the South Tower approaches sold-out status, the residences in the North Tower and the remaining two penthouses present an exclusive opportunity to become part of this flourishing community.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay are priced from the $3 millions and range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet. Thoughtfully designed floor plans feature two, three, and four-bedroom layouts, each with a den, private elevator lobby, and spacious balconies—perfect for soaking in the most prized sunsets of Florida’s paradise coast.
