Boutique Downtown Living Near the Bayfront
The Edge Sarasota is positioned in downtown Sarasota’s Arts District, near the intersection of Cocoanut Avenue and Fruitville Road and only a few blocks from Main Street and Sarasota Bay.
Its location combines two of downtown Sarasota’s strongest lifestyle advantages: walkability and proximity to the waterfront. Restaurants, galleries, boutiques, theaters, cafés, cultural venues, and bayfront parks are all nearby, while St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach are easily reached across the Ringling Causeway.
Unlike many larger downtown towers, The Edge is intentionally limited to 27 residences, creating a more intimate residential environment while still offering full-scale luxury amenities.
The Edge rises 10 stories and more than 150 feet, with contemporary architecture characterized by broad expanses of glass, deep terraces, and a clean modern profile.
The building is being developed on an approximately 0.55-acre downtown site and is designed around just a small number of residences per floor.
Current construction records identify Voeller Construction, Inc. as the builder, with completion anticipated in late 2026.
The Edge is designed for buyers who want large-scale residences without the scale of a large condominium community.
With only 27 homes and interiors beginning above approximately 3,100 square feet, the building offers a level of residential space that is unusual for a new downtown Sarasota project.
Its terraces are equally important. Outdoor living areas approaching 800 square feet, along with private rooftop terraces for select penthouses, provide space for dining, lounging, and entertaining while taking advantage of Sarasota’s climate and skyline.
The amenity program is also unusually complete for such a small building. Pool and plunge facilities, cabanas, outdoor kitchens, wellness spaces, treatment rooms, fitness and yoga studios, private dining, wine storage, and social rooms create a full-service lifestyle shared among relatively few owners.
Add private elevators, high ceilings, luxury appliances, generous parking, and a walkable Arts District location, and The Edge occupies a distinct position among downtown Sarasota’s newest luxury condominiums.
The Edge was conceived as a boutique alternative to the larger condominium developments reshaping downtown Sarasota.
Its Cocoanut Avenue location places the building between Sarasota’s downtown core and bayfront, an area that has continued to evolve with new residential, cultural, dining, and recreational development.
Rather than maximizing the number of residences, the project focuses on 27 large homes, substantial terraces, and an amenity program designed around wellness, entertaining, and privacy.
The architectural concept emphasizes contemporary lines, large expanses of glass, and generous outdoor living spaces, while the residence plans prioritize scale more commonly associated with luxury single-family homes.
Construction is now well advanced, with the building having reached a major structural milestone and completion anticipated in late 2026.
When complete, The Edge Sarasota will add a particularly intimate offering to the downtown luxury market: 27 expansive residences, private-elevator living, resort-style wellness and social amenities, and a highly walkable position between downtown Sarasota and the bayfront.
The Edge Sarasota is designed around just 27 residences, all substantially larger than the typical downtown condominium. The four principal plans range from approximately 3,154 to 3,532 square feet of interior living area, with private terraces ranging from approximately 476 to 790 square feet.
Even the smallest plan exceeds 3,100 interior square feet, making The Edge unusual among new downtown Sarasota developments. Rather than offering a broad range of small and large units, the building is focused almost entirely on grand-scale residences.
Residence | Configuration | Interior | Balcony / Terrace |
|---|---|---|---|
A | 3 BR / 3.5 BA | 3,270 sq. ft. | 790 sq. ft. |
B | 3 BR / 3.5 BA | 3,532 sq. ft. | 511 sq. ft. |
C | 3 BR / 3.5 BA | 3,275 sq. ft. | 476 sq. ft. |
D | 2 BR + Office / 2.5 BA | 3,154 sq. ft. | 477 sq. ft. |
Each plan uses expansive glass and large outdoor living areas to create strong connections between the interiors, city skyline, and Sarasota Bay.
Approximately 3,270 square feet of interior living area and one of the building’s largest terraces at approximately 790 square feet. The three-bedroom, 3.5-bath layout features a broad open living environment with both great-room and separate living spaces, a large chef’s kitchen, butler’s pantry, and substantial primary suite. The primary bedroom is designed as a private retreat with a large walk-in closet, morning or midnight bar, dual vanities, separate water closets, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. The oversized wraparound terrace is a major feature of the plan, particularly on western and northwest-facing residences where city and sunset views become part of the living experience.
Approximately 3,532 interior square feet, with a terrace of approximately 511 square feet. The layout offers three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, expansive living and dining areas, a large chef’s kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap the corner of the residence. Its larger footprint provides additional separation between entertaining spaces and private bedroom areas while maintaining The Edge’s emphasis on open, light-filled interiors.
Approximately 3,275 square feet inside and a terrace of approximately 476 square feet. The plan includes three bedrooms and 3.5 baths with broad living spaces and large expanses of glass. Upper-floor C residences may capture combinations of south, southwest, and west exposures, bringing Sarasota’s downtown skyline, bay, and sunsets into view.
Approximately 3,154 square feet, with two bedrooms, a private office or den, 2.5 baths, and a terrace of approximately 477 square feet. The open-concept layout includes a large great room, chef’s kitchen, full laundry room, and a substantial primary suite with dual walk-in closets, morning bar, dual vanities, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. The office provides additional flexibility for residents who work from home or want a dedicated media, library, or guest space.
The penthouses elevate the same large-scale layouts with additional outdoor space and parking. The Penthouse A configuration, for example, offers approximately 3,270 interior square feet plus a large balcony and rooftop terrace, while upper-floor Residence D configurations combine approximately 3,154 square feet with their own private rooftop outdoor space. These rooftop areas are especially distinctive within downtown Sarasota, providing penthouse owners with private entertaining space beyond the primary residence terrace.
The Edge residences are designed around contemporary materials, large-scale rooms, and high levels of natural light. Many residences may also offer opportunities for customization during construction, depending on build stage and availability.
The smaller scale of the building means these amenities serve only 27 residences, creating a more private environment than would typically be expected in a full-service downtown condominium.
The amenity experience is centered around an elevated outdoor terrace with views toward downtown Sarasota and the bay.
The wellness program extends beyond a conventional fitness room. The treatment rooms can accommodate services such as massage or physical therapy.
A dedicated owners’ club designed around entertaining and social use, with options from casual socializing to private dinners and catered events.
The Edge rises 10 stories and is designed around just a small number of residences per floor.
Standard residences generally include two assigned secured parking spaces, while select penthouses include private three-car garages. The penthouse garage configuration is especially unusual, providing a level of privacy and vehicle storage more commonly associated with a single-family home.
The Edge is positioned in a part of downtown Sarasota where daily life can often be managed on foot. The Ringling Causeway also provides direct access to St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach, while Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and Sarasota Memorial Hospital are approximately ten minutes away under normal conditions.

While we make every effort to keep our Community Guides current, The Edge Sarasota is an under-construction community. Completion dates, floor plans, dimensions, residence features, amenities, parking assignments, pet policies, leasing restrictions, fees, Association rules, finishes, and other development details may change before completion. Buyers should verify current information directly with the developer, Association, governing condominium documents, and other applicable authorities during their due-diligence period.
Choosing a residence at The Edge Sarasota requires close comparison of floor plan, orientation, elevation, terrace size, parking configuration, and view exposure.
The differences among the four principal plans are meaningful. Residence B is the largest standard plan at approximately 3,532 square feet, while Residence A offers the building’s largest principal terrace at approximately 790 square feet. Residence D provides two bedrooms plus a private office, while the A, B, and C plans emphasize larger three-bedroom configurations.
Penthouse buyers should also consider the added value of private rooftop terraces and three-car garage arrangements.
Because the building is still under construction, timing can also matter. Depending on the stage of a particular residence, there may be opportunities to personalize certain finishes or interior selections.
With more than four decades of experience representing Sarasota and Longboat Key’s finest properties, Pettingell Professionals helps buyers understand these distinctions and make informed, property-specific decisions.
Today’s luxury buyers begin their search long before they schedule a showing. They compare communities, study floor plans, evaluate views and locations, and look for reliable information about the details that affect ownership.
That’s why we’ve created one of Sarasota’s most comprehensive luxury condominium and residential community guides.
Our goal is simple. When someone searches for The Edge Sarasota, 290 Cocoanut Avenue, or luxury condominiums in downtown Sarasota’s Arts District, we want them to find accurate, informative, and complete information about the community. More importantly, we want your residence to be part of that discovery.
For sellers, this matters. A residence at The Edge should not be presented as simply another downtown Sarasota condominium. Its floor plan, elevation, terrace size, city or bay views, parking configuration, penthouse features, interior selections, and position within this 27-residence boutique building are all important parts of its story.
Combined with exceptional photography, aerial imagery when appropriate, cinematic video, strategic digital marketing, and more than four decades of experience representing Sarasota and Longboat Key’s finest properties, we position your residence where today’s luxury buyers begin their search.
The Pettingell Community Guides were created to provide buyers and sellers with accurate, objective, and thoughtfully researched information about Sarasota and Longboat Key’s most exceptional condominium communities, residential neighborhoods, and waterfront enclaves. Every guide is independently researched, regularly updated, and written to help you understand not only the facts about a community, but also the history, lifestyle, architecture, and details that make it unique.
Rather than relying on generic descriptions, our goal is to create a useful and trustworthy resource for each community we cover. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring Sarasota’s luxury real estate market, we hope these guides help you make more informed decisions and discover the communities that best fit your lifestyle.
