What’s New at The Quay Sarasota in 2026
As of January 2026, The Quay continues to build out as downtown Sarasota’s main waterfront growth area—defined by new high-rise residences, a marina setting, and a growing list of destination amenities. Ocean Prime is open, a private boat club is active at the harbor, and several major residential projects are either under construction or moving through development planning.
Key Updates for 2026
Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay hits a major construction milestone: The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay (a 20-story condominium tower) topped off in December 2025. Developer Kolter Urban has indicated late 2026 delivery.
Ocean Prime is now operating at The Quay: Ocean Prime opened December 21, 2024 in The Quay, adding a high-profile steak-and-seafood restaurant directly on the district’s waterfront footprint.
Kokomo Yacht Club brings “boat-club” access to the harbor: Kokomo Yacht Club is marketing itself as a private boat membership club with a captained fleet—positioned as a way to use Sarasota Bay without the responsibilities of ownership.
1000 Boulevard of the Arts advances as the next major mixed-use project: 1000 Boulevard of the Arts is planned as a 20-story development with 117 luxury residences and a Hyatt Centric Harborside hotel component, replacing the existing Hyatt Regency site and adjacent parking structure.
One Park Sarasota is underway; One Park West is planned: One Park Sarasota held a groundbreaking in October 2024 for an 18-story, 86-residence condominium tower. One Park West is also planned in The Quay; PMG (Property Markets Group) describes it as an 18-story tower with 69 residences.

Why Ultra-Luxury Buyers Are Choosing The Quay
From a buyer’s standpoint, The Quay’s draw in 2026 is straightforward: newer luxury inventory on the bay, walkable access to downtown, and amenities that support a “use it when you want it” lifestyle, especially dining and boating (Ocean Prime + Kokomo Yacht Club) within the same waterfront district.
In 2026, The Quay stands out because it solves what many luxury buyers want now:
- Waterfront + walkability: marina views and bayfront energy, paired with downtown dining, shopping, and arts access.
- High-service living: hospitality elements (including planned hotel components) that support a “lock-and-leave” lifestyle.
- A social scene built in: Ocean Prime, the marina, and the growing lineup of harborside gathering places create an effortless sense of arrival.
- New construction scarcity: limited, design-forward inventory on Sarasota’s most visible waterfront stage—where timing matters.
