4 Perks You’ll Only Find With a Full-Floor Design in Sarasota

Few designs in luxury living can rival the elegance and exclusivity of a full-floor residence. Designed to maximize privacy and breathtaking views, these designs are typically only found on the penthouse levels. Yet, in Sarasota, Florida, one condominium is providing an entire building of full-floor residences. Peninsula Sarasota’s first tower, located on Golden Gate Point just outside downtown Sarasota, offers a rare opportunity for discerning buyers. With construction nearing completion and move-ins anticipated in 2025, only one full-floor residence remains available. Let’s explore what sets them apart.

1. Abundant Windows Create a Statement

A key design feature of full-floor residences is the abundance of floor-to-ceiling windows. These wraparound windows flood the interiors with natural light while also connecting the living spaces to the outdoors. Hoyt Architects crafted a design at Peninsula Sarasota that places the surrounding Sarasota Bay waters in the forefront. The floor-to-ceiling windows frame the blue-green waters below, along with westerly views of the iconic Ringling Bridge. With this layout, the view becomes as much a part of the design as the interiors themselves.

2. Fluid Layouts for Entertaining

For those who enjoy entertaining, the open-concept layout of a full-floor residence creates a natural flow between the entry, great room, kitchen, and dining areas. This design not only enhances the sense of openness but also offers ample space for guests to mingle and socialize. Many full-floor designs also feature private terraces that extend the living space outdoors. At Peninsula Sarasota, the main wraparound terrace off the living room becomes a central entertaining hub. The summer kitchen with a built-in gas grill—a rare feature for condominiums—provides outdoor dining with Sarasota Bay as the backdrop. Two additional terraces off the Owner’s Suite and guest bedroom provide more intimate outdoor escapes, perfect for relaxing after an evening of entertaining.

3. Private Elevators and Worry-Free Living

A full-floor residence is also designed to provide peace of mind to its owners. Access-controlled elevators provide a direct, private entry into each home. This not only enhances security but also provides a convenient point of access. On-site concierges further elevate the experience, offering personalized services that attend to residents’ everyday needs. Their thoughtful, behind-the-scenes support adds an effortless layer of comfort. Residents can enjoy their space without worry while embracing a refined, low-maintenance lifestyle.

4. The Quiet Luxury of No Shared Walls

Full-floor residences offer a unique sense of seclusion that’s both practical and luxurious. From a design perspective, the absence of shared walls allows for a seamless flow between spaces, allowing every detail to be thoughtfully curated. For residents, this translates to a retreat-like atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Residents enjoy the quietness and solitude often associated with single-family homes, but with the added conveniences of condominium living.

Move Into a Full-Floor Residence in 2025

Peninsula Sarasota’s full-floor residences are set to be completed in 2025. With the remaining condos selling swiftly, the opportunity is fleeting to savor a centrally located yet secluded lifestyle. In addition to their home, residents will enjoy numerous amenity spaces designed to feature every aspect of relaxed and tranquil living. A resort-style swimming pool and sun deck are perfect for daytime leisure, while the Rooftop Residents’ Lounge welcomes evening gatherings of friends and neighbors. Spacious common areas, a wine storage room, a fitness center and amenity spaces have been designed by the renowned Karen Asprea Studio of New York to create a natural, spa-like sanctuary.
