The Pierre

Full-Service Beachfront Living on Southern Longboat Key

The Pierre was developed as a residential condominium offering the space and privacy of a large beachfront home together with the services and conveniences of a professionally managed building. Its location is one of its defining strengths: the Gulf of Mexico lies directly to the west, while the Longboat Key Club golf course extends along the opposite side of the property.

The original building plan arranged eight residences around a central atrium on a typical floor, allowing homes to occupy prominent exterior positions with broad terraces and varied exposures. Original A, B, C, and D floor plans range from approximately 2,410 to 2,880 square feet of living area, with outdoor terraces bringing total areas to approximately 2,800 to 3,640 square feet.

Why Buyers Love The Pierre

A spacious residence, backed by service.

The Pierre appeals to buyers seeking a spacious beachfront residence supported by a high level of service.

The original floor plans are notably generous, with large entertaining spaces, substantial primary suites, multiple bathrooms, breakfast rooms, dens or third bedrooms, and extensive outdoor terraces. The building's orientation also creates a variety of outlooks, including views toward the Gulf of Mexico, the Longboat Key Club golf course, Sarasota Bay, and the surrounding island.

Service is another important part of the ownership experience. A front desk concierge is available around the clock, while three guest suites allow owners to welcome overnight visitors without sacrificing the privacy of their own residence.

The Story Behind The Pierre

Built around a landscaped atrium.

The Pierre was completed in 1990 during an important period in the development of southern Longboat Key, when new luxury condominiums were increasingly designed around larger residences, extensive amenities, security, and professional services.

1990

A Landscaped Atrium at the Center

The building's original concept placed the residences around an enclosed landscaped atrium, with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Longboat Key Club golf course on the other. Rather than treating common areas as corridors between private homes, the design made the plaza and atrium an important part of the residential experience.

Today

Renovated, Same Generous Proportions

Over the years, many residences have been renovated, and the lobby and common areas have also been updated. The Pierre nevertheless retains the fundamental qualities established at its completion: spacious homes, direct Gulf access, attentive service, and an enviable location on the southern end of Longboat Key.

Those generous layouts remain one of the community's greatest strengths today.

Residences & Amenities

Buying in The Pierre

Find your residence.

Every luxury condominium offers a different ownership experience. At The Pierre, buyers often compare floor-plan type, residence orientation, floor level, Gulf and golf-course views, terrace configuration, renovation quality, and proximity to the building's amenities. The differences among the A, B, C, and D plans are meaningful. Some residences emphasize Gulf frontage, while others provide broader golf-course, bay, or island views. Modified and penthouse homes may also differ substantially from the original standard layouts. For more than four decades, Pettingell Professionals has helped buyers navigate Longboat Key's luxury condominium market. We understand the distinctions among the building's floor plans, views, services, and residence locations, helping our clients identify the home that best fits their lifestyle and long-term goals.
