The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay Celebrate One Year Since Groundbreaking

Since breaking ground in July of 2023, sales have grown by an additional $220 million, totaling over half a billion sold with construction well underway.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. ─ Since construction commenced last summer, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay have experienced a surge in buyers, significantly expanding its vibrant community. The South Tower is nearing sold-out status, with only a few floor plans remaining and one of the four penthouses already off the market. The newly launched North Tower is nearly 20% sold, contributing to the impressive milestone of over $520 million in sales to date. Anticipated for delivery in early 2026, enthusiasm continues to build as the project progresses swiftly, with an average of one floor completed every ten days.

Led by the visionary London Bay Development Group, the property will offer 224 distinguished residences within two elegant 22-story towers, gracefully set along nearly a mile of waterfront in the coastal village of Saltleaf on Estero Bay. Adjacent to the property, the construction of Saltleaf Marina is progressing rapidly, with pilings emerging beyond the waterline and decking soon to begin. This vibrant marina will serve as a premier hub for aquatic adventure and dining, further elevating the community's appeal and offering a luxurious yet relaxed coastal lifestyle.

“The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay will introduce a new way of experiencing the natural beauty of Southwest Florida within an unrivaled setting where legendary service, refined design and endless opportunities for adventure make every day feel like paradise,” said Mark Wilson, CEO and President of London Bay Development Group. "We've achieved so many remarkable milestones in just one year, underscoring how deeply our vision for the property resonates with discerning buyers. With construction on the residences and Saltleaf Marina underway and Saltleaf Golf Preserve becoming a premier destination for outdoor leisure, we are thrilled to see this extraordinary coastal community coming to life."

Priced from the $3 millions, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet and include two, three- and four-bedrooms with a den. Dedicated elevator lobbies, unobstructed sunset views of the bay, and spacious balconies up to 2,200 square feet enhance enjoyment of daily life. Storage will be abundant, with generous bedroom closets and a personal private storage unit located on each floor. Owners will have a choice of three finish packages assembled by Meyer Davis, the award-winning New York design studio behind the property’s stunning interiors and impressive shared spaces.

Imagined by globally acclaimed Arquitectonica, the cascading façades of the buildings are inspired by the tranquil waterfront setting, integrating harmoniously into the surrounding topography. Lush landscape architecture by EDSA will transform the outdoor spaces into a verdant oasis from three cascading pools to bocce ball, and barbeques.

Renowned Ritz-Carlton hospitality will be apparent in all facets of ownership through The Experience Studio, whether seeking a private training session, local lunch reservation, or curated spa treatment. A rich program of amenities spans five acres, with 36,000 square feet of indoor offerings. This includes a Wellness Center offering fitness equipment, a yoga and Pilates studio, steam, and sauna. The Oasis, a centrally located, 8,000-square-foot space, will present a Sunset Lounge, private dining room, Sports & News Café, Wine & Whiskey room, and demonstration and catering kitchen.

The launch of the North Tower in March introduced additional amenities, featuring a state-of-the-art sports simulator, offering enthusiasts and athletes an ideal venue for honing their skills, from golf to soccer. Plus, an intimate screening room.

Guest suites are a valuable addition to the array of conveniences, offering exclusive overnight accommodation options akin to hotel rooms for homeowners' guests. Tower Suites are also now available, presenting a unique opportunity for owners to purchase additional space within the building to suit their individual desires and needs
