Echelon on Palm

Prospective buyers of Sarasota real estate for sale who want to level up on their choices would be on the right track asking their agents about Echelon on Palm. This condominium, wedged on the corridor of South Palm and South Gulf Steam Avenues, is one of newest high-rise residential developments on Sarasota’s coveted bayfront that locals refer to as the “Marina Row.”

Echelon on Palm was constructed starting in early 2016 and completed in summer 2017. It was developed as an 18-story tower within a one-third acre site, which combined the parcels of 624 South Palm Avenue and 621 Gulfstream Avenue formerly occupied by two vintage bed and breakfast inns.

Strong Team Enters Sarasota Real Estate Market

Echelon on Palm is the first Sarasota project of its developer, the Naples-based Ronto Group, which invested an estimated $50 million for this condominium development. An award-winning developer, Ronto has built over 10,000 residential condominium units and 2,000 single family houses. Its previous projects also included the development of shopping centers and a resort hotel. 

Ronto leveraged its over 40 years of industry experience to put its best foot forward in undertaking the Echelon on Palm project. It brought in as general contractor BCBE Construction, an award-winning builder based in Naples.

For the condominium’s architectural design, Ronto tapped Santiesteban & Associates Architecture of Tampa, which rendered the sleek, coastal contemporary style of Echelon on Palm. Other notable regional designs from Santiesteban’s drawing boards include Aria Longboat Key, Ovation St. Petersburg and Seaglass at Bonita Bay in Naples.

Touches of Beasley & Henley Interior Design further sharpened Echelon on Palm’s appeal among buyers of Sarasota real estate for sale. The design of the condominium’s interior features came out as a definition of the comfortable luxury that the Sarasota bayfront offers to high-end residential property buyers. The designer finishes Beasley & Henley delivered include solid core doors, custom-crafted solid wood cabinetry, and a wide selection of solid surface flooring and counter tops.

A Standout Residential Enclave on the Sarasota Bayfront

The condominium’s advanced coastal construction is striking with its extensive use of impact- resistant glass walls, adding glamor to the downtown Sarasota bayfront. The Echelon tower integrated multiple terraces laid out masterfully upwards the building’s levels, a rendition that vividly translates the trademark of the condominium through its structure. These terraces allow magnificent views of Sarasota Bay and the city skyline further underscoring this condominium’s upscale personality.

Echelon’s residences comprise 15 full-floor dwellings, a half-floor unit, and Bay House, a unique two-story city townhome. This residence is no doubt an irresistible market gem with its 4,400-square-foot living area with a flexible loft/office space and a walk-up access from Gulfstream Avenue just across the bayfront.

Each Echelon residence is configured for customization by Echelon’s buyers, with such features as soaring glass walls, 11-foot volume ceilings and light-filled living spaces leading to the terraces. The units also feature private elevator entries and versatile summer kitchens. Market listings of Echelon homes for sale can include three- or four bedroom residences with floor plans ranging from 3,086 to 4,437 square feet.

The condominium provides residents with a sprawling rooftop terrace which not only offers the panoramic vistas unlocked in the property’s superb downtown location. Great for socials, it also offers lounge areas and an outdoor grill.

The condominium’s third floor offers even more amenities. The facilities here include a clubroom complete with a bar. In addition, it provides a fitness center equipped with cutting-edge paraphernalia, plus a yoga terrace, a pool and spa, and a well-furnished lounge deck featuring a bar and an al fresco grill.
