Grande Riviera
Exclusivity is an unmistakable trademark that Grande Riviera holds among high-end downtown Sarasota homes for sale, as it was developed with just 13 luxury units. The construction of this condominium in 2005 is also one of the first property developments that spearheaded the dramatic transformation of its Golden Gate Point Peninsula site into a new enclave of luxury residential buildings, replacing the low-rise apartment-style motels earlier dominant in the area.
Its creator, Floridays Development, contributed much to changing the peninsula’s transient ambiance into an affluent community. This developer, which also behind the retirees’ haven Sarasota Bay Club and the local franchises of Hyatt Place Suites and By Hilton, molded Grande Riviera as a standout with its golden cupola that now serves as an eye candy over the condominium’s location at the southern edge of Golden Gate Point Peninsula
At this coveted site, Floridays built Grande Riviera as a nine-story structure overlooking scenic Sarasota Bay and the John Ringling Causeway/Bridge as well as the city’s waterfront and marina. The condominium building was rendered in the classic Old-World Mediterranean architecture which aptly set the condominium as a definition of elegance and luxury.
Three of the condominium’s 13 residences are four-bedroom penthouses each with a spacious living area measuring around 5,500 square feet. There are two townhouses as well in this condominium, thereby expanding the lifestyle options in this posh development. The rest of the Grande Riviera residences offer floor areas at between 2,650 and about 3,900 square feet, featuring two to three bedrooms.
The residential property values at Grande Riviera get a boost not only from this condominium’s superb build and location at the 22-acre spit of land immediately west of downtown Sarasota. These residences are also highly valued owing to the high-end amenities that Floridays masterfully incorporated into their Golden Gate Point Peninsula development.
The facilities available in-house to Grande Riviera residents include a heated swimming pool and spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and boat docks. In addition, this condominium is pet-friendly and provides 24/7 security as well as concierge services.
The classy lifestyle that Grande Riviera offers on 420 Golden Gate Point is further enhanced by its proximity to the various points of interest in and around downtown Sarasota. Within a few minutes, for instance, the condominium’s residents can partake of arts and culture activities in such destinations as the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Ringling Museum of Art and the Florida Studio Theater.
From Grand Riviera, fine restaurants and chic shops are easily accessible not only at downtown Sarasota but in other popular commercial hubs too. A short westward drive across the Ringling Bridge, for one, allows convenient access to the shops, boutiques and dining venues at the St. Armands Circle which all bring an added zip to living at the Grande Riviera.
