Boutique Contemporary Living on Golden Gate Point
Peninsula Sarasota occupies a private, landscaped setting within Golden Gate Point, the approximately 22-acre residential peninsula extending into Sarasota Bay immediately west of downtown Sarasota. The community consists of two neighboring condominium buildings connected by an elevated second-floor amenity deck.
Only 23 residences were created across the two buildings. Peninsula One was designed primarily around one residence per floor, while Peninsula Two accommodates two residences per floor, giving the community an unusually low-density character.
The development was designed around a simple idea: provide the privacy and scale associated with a boutique condominium while maintaining the amenities, security, and services expected in a new luxury building.
Peninsula's strongest distinction is its combination of new construction, only 23 residences, and an unusually low-density two-building design. Peninsula One's full-floor orientation and Peninsula Two's two-residence-per-floor arrangement provide a sense of privacy uncommon in larger Sarasota condominiums.
The residences are large enough for full-time living without reaching the scale of some of Golden Gate Point's older 4,000- to 6,000-square-foot condominiums. Three-bedroom plans from approximately 2,400 to just over 3,000 interior square feet provide substantial living space, while the second-floor terrace homes add remarkable outdoor areas.
Rather than simply placing amenities at the base of one tower, Peninsula uses its elevated pool and recreation deck to physically and visually connect the buildings, creating a landscaped central amenity environment shared by only 23 owners.
Peninsula Sarasota represents one of the newest additions to Golden Gate Point's continuing transformation into a collection of boutique luxury residential buildings.
The project was conceived by Coastal Luxury Homes and Gault Family Companies, with development leadership from Sam Gault. Sarasota-based Hoyt Architects, led by founding principal Gary Hoyt, designed the community, with original common-area interiors by Karen Asprea Studio of New York.
Rather than creating a single conventional tower, the development team divided the project into two intimate buildings with only 23 residences altogether. The elevated second-floor pool deck bridges the structures, while a rooftop lounge adds another social space above.
Today, Peninsula Sarasota adds a distinctly contemporary counterpart to Golden Gate Point's established collection of waterfront and water-view condominiums: 23 residences, private elevator living, generous terraces, comprehensive amenities, and a residential setting immediately beside downtown Sarasota.
Peninsula Sarasota's 23 residences are designed around privacy, contemporary interiors, expansive glass, and substantial outdoor living. The principal residence plans range from approximately 2,400 to 3,068 square feet of air-conditioned living area, with three bedrooms or three bedrooms plus a den.

There are just 23 residences across two buildings.
Peninsula One was designed primarily with one residence per floor. Peninsula Two was designed with two residences per typical floor. This low-density arrangement is one of the community's principal distinctions.
The standard floor plans range from approximately 2,400 to 3,068 square feet of air-conditioned living area. With balconies included, Residence A totals approximately 3,382 square feet, Residence B totals approximately 2,670 square feet, and Residence C totals approximately 3,428 square feet.

Yes. The community rooftop residents' lounge provides elevated gathering space overlooking Sarasota Bay and the surrounding skyline. Select penthouses also have private rooftop terrace rights separate from the common rooftop space.

Because Golden Gate Point is surrounded by water and the buildings rise above neighboring development, many residences nevertheless offer significant bay, marina, bridge, city, and barrier-island views.
Views depend strongly on building, floor, and residence orientation. Developer materials identify Marina Jack and Sarasota Bay to the east, the Ringling Causeway to the west, and from upper floors, Big Pass, the Gulf, Lido Key, and Longboat Key.

With only 23 residences, the differences between individual Peninsula homes are meaningful. Buyers should compare Peninsula One versus Peninsula Two, residence type, elevation, orientation, water and skyline views, terrace configuration, parking assignments, interior selections, and private rooftop rights where applicable. The special second-floor terrace residences deserve separate consideration because their outdoor spaces are dramatically larger than those of the typical floors. Likewise, the penthouses may offer private rooftop rights and view corridors unavailable elsewhere in the community. Because Peninsula is newly completed, buyers should also review the current condominium documents, Association budget, warranties, leasing restrictions, pet rules, reserves, and any remaining developer-related matters. With more than four decades of experience representing Sarasota and Longboat Key's finest properties, Pettingell Professionals helps buyers understand the distinctions that shape value at Peninsula Sarasota and make informed, property-specific decisions.
