Rosewood Residences Lido Key

Rosewood Residences Lido Key is an ultra-luxury Gulf-front condominium development at 1000 Benjamin Franklin Drive on Lido Key. Currently under construction and anticipated to welcome owners in 2026, the 11-story property will contain just 65 private residences on approximately 3.5 acres along the Gulf of Mexico. The development is notable as the first Rosewood property created exclusively as a residential community, without an accompanying hotel. Developed by The Ronto Group in partnership with Wheelock Street Capital, the project combines large private residences with Rosewood-managed services and an extensive private-club-style amenity program. Architecture is by Swedroe Architecture, common-area interiors are by Lillian Wu Studio of New York, and the landscape and beach club were designed by Design Studio Boca. The building has been planned around Gulf views, floor-to-ceiling glass, expansive terraces, private elevator entry, and exceptionally large floor plans. Standard residences offer three or four bedrooms plus a den and range from approximately 3,350 to 4,942 square feet of interior living area. With terraces included, total areas range from approximately 3,832 to 5,690 square feet. A singular Rosewood Suite offers an even larger indoor-outdoor living environment. The amenity program includes resident dining, an owners’ lounge, fitness and wellness facilities, six guest suites, a private theater, game and family spaces, two swimming pools, landscaped gathering areas, and a private beach club with direct access to Lido Beach.

Rosewood Residences Lido Key


Private Residential Hospitality on Lido Beach

Rosewood Residences introduces a distinctive form of branded residential living to Sarasota. Rather than operating as a hotel with attached residences, the entire property is designed for its 65 owners and their guests.

The 11-story building sits directly on Lido Beach, with approximately 235 feet of Gulf frontage. Residences are positioned to emphasize Gulf views and natural light, while select orientations also capture Sarasota Bay, St. Armands, and the mainland skyline.



Rosewood Residences Lido Key was conceived as the first Rosewood property devoted exclusively to private residences rather than combining homes with a hotel or resort.

Why Buyers Love Rosewood Residences Lido Key

Resort service, exclusively residential.

Rosewood Residences combines exceptionally large beachfront homes with a comparatively limited number of owners. Even the smallest standard floor plan offers approximately 3,350 square feet of interior living area, while larger configurations approach 5,000 square feet before terraces are included.

The Rosewood-managed service environment is another defining feature. Concierge, valet, resident dining, wellness services, beach service, guest accommodations, and an extensive amenity program are designed to create the convenience of a luxury resort while preserving an exclusively residential setting.

Its location is equally compelling. Residents will live directly on Lido Beach while remaining close to St. Armands Circle and just across the Ringling Causeway from downtown Sarasota's restaurants, galleries, theaters, and waterfront attractions.
