A New Branded Residence at Five Points Park
Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota brings the Waldorf Astoria residential experience to the heart of downtown Sarasota, overlooking Five Points Park.
The location places residents within Sarasota’s established walkable core, close to Main Street restaurants and cafés, Palm Avenue galleries, the Sarasota Farmers Market, theaters, cultural venues, Sarasota Bay, and the downtown waterfront.
Unlike a traditional hotel-and-residences project, the development is conceived as a private residential community, pairing condominium ownership with Waldorf Astoria’s hospitality and service standards.
The tower’s curved architecture and expansive glass are designed for Sarasota’s coastal setting, with residences positioned to capture combinations of Sarasota Bay, downtown, city, and sunset views.
Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota combines branded residential service, substantial residences, extensive amenities, and one of downtown Sarasota’s most central addresses.
The collection ranges from two-bedroom Grove residences to Horizon homes exceeding 4,000 interior square feet and an expansive penthouse collection. Nearly 60,000 square feet of amenities create distinct settings for wellness, outdoor living, private entertaining, family recreation, and social life.
The Waldorf Astoria service program adds another dimension through concierge, valet, bellman, in-residence dining, discreet deliveries, and owner benefits that extend beyond Sarasota.
The Sarasota residences reinterpret the Waldorf Astoria tradition for Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Rather than reproducing a hotel environment, the project combines personalized service with architecture shaped around Sarasota’s climate and lifestyle: curved terraces, expansive glass, natural materials, landscaped gardens, and views toward the bay and city.
Current residential-owner benefits include Hilton Honors Diamond status for the length of ownership, selected hotel benefits, preferred owner rates, dedicated Hilton travel concierge assistance, and other branded-residence privileges. Program benefits and terms may change and should be confirmed at the time of purchase.
The result is intended to connect Waldorf Astoria’s established hospitality legacy with Sarasota’s own tradition of architecture, culture, and sophisticated coastal living.
Waldorf Astoria Residences Sarasota will include 86 private residences within a 22-story tower overlooking Five Points Park. The collection includes one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences, together with an expansive penthouse collection.
The residential program includes distinct Grove and Horizon collections, with the larger Horizon homes positioned at higher elevations. Residence features include:
The Grove Collection includes substantial two- and three-bedroom residences with generous outdoor living. These plans emphasize open living and dining areas, large kitchens, substantial primary suites, guest accommodations, and broad terraces.

The Horizon Collection introduces larger homes at higher elevations. Residence 02 combines three bedrooms with a dedicated media room and nearly 1,000 square feet of exterior space, while Residence 05 expands to four bedrooms and more than 4,400 interior square feet. These larger homes approach private-estate proportions while retaining the convenience and services of a full-service condominium.

Architecture is by ODP Architects, interiors by Workshop/APD, and landscape architecture by DWY Landscape Architects. The tower is defined by softly curved corners and layered terraces rather than a conventional rectangular profile. Broad expanses of glass follow those curves, creating a more fluid relationship between the residences and the surrounding city and bay. Interiors use a coastal-inspired palette of natural stone, warm woods, bronze accents, and large-format travertine flooring, creating a contemporary but understated aesthetic.
Designer kitchens feature Molteni&C cabinetry, natural countertops, Wolf appliances, and Sub-Zero refrigeration. Open living and dining areas are positioned to take advantage of the building’s curved glass façades and terraces, creating a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Residences offer private or semi-private elevator access, depending on floor plan. Larger homes incorporate dedicated elevator foyers or galleries, creating a more private arrival and reducing conventional corridor circulation.
Select residences include a dedicated concierge closet, allowing staff to discreetly deliver packages or requested items without entering the main residence. It is a small but thoughtful feature that illustrates how residential service has been integrated directly into the design.
The building is planned with nearly 60,000 square feet of interior amenities and landscaped spaces.
Peacock Alley is reinterpreted as a residents’ lounge with an adjacent library and private dining room. Additional social spaces include a game room with golf simulator, billiards, card tables and bar, together with a separate Theatre Lounge. Dedicated children’s and teen spaces broaden the appeal for families and visiting guests.
Approximately 25,000 square feet is devoted to an elevated private garden with a 70-foot pool and spa, cabanas and lounge areas, entertainment lawn, citrus grove, yoga lawn, refreshment station, and Florida Pavilion with self-serve bar and grilling stations.
The Wellness Center complements the outdoor environment with a Fitness Center, Motion Studio, steam rooms, infrared saunas, two private treatment rooms, L’Orangerie relaxation space, and hot and cold plunge pools.
The objective is to bring Waldorf Astoria hospitality into everyday residential ownership without operating the building as a conventional hotel. Planned services include:
The 1390 Main Street address places residents directly within downtown Sarasota and beside Five Points Park. St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach are also easily accessible across the Ringling Causeway.
