Neptune, floating into Sarasota Bay in the fall of 2017.
APRIL FOOLS' - Michael Saunders & Company is pleased to announce the arrival of a new condominium development for the nautical enthusiast.
Neptune, the latest modern skyscraper being offered in
downtown Sarasota, is set to debut in the fall of 2017. This sleek and stylish 18-story building takes cues from the Sarasota School of Architecture while providing an unprecedented aquatic location – floating directly on Sarasota Bay. Neptune defies conventional land-based buildings and uses the principles of buoyancy to stay atop the surface of the water. Drifting from shore to shore, it will make regular stops at
Longboat Key,
Lido Key, and downtown Sarasota. “For those who grow tired of the traffic out to St. Armands Circle and the Key,” explained
Nancy Arbuckle, Managing Director of
New Homes & Condominiums at Michael Saunders & Company, “Neptune will easily bypass the bridge, cruising with gentle ease to all the beaches and cultural gems of Sarasota.” Residents of this magnificently moist community will enjoy a host of amenities, including dolphin rides to the mainland, round trip transportation and yearly subscriptions to shows at the
Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, and premium views of the 4
th of July fireworks and the Sarasota OffShore Racing Grand Prix. Designed by the Sarasota firm of
Solstice Architects, four distinct floorplans are available, ranging from 800 – 1,300 square feet. "Floating condos, or 'flondos' as I like to call them, are the future of urban development, " said Jonathan Parks AIA, architect for the project. "For metro areas with a strong connection to the water, these can be built offsite, avoiding construction clutter, and then simply sail into place." State-of-the-art floating technologies are employed, as well as and energy efficient engines powered solely by salt water. Neptune offers other perks to residents as well.
Tom Heatherman, Director of Communications at Michael Saunders & Company is also the development's first buyer, "I used to love deep sea fishing until I got tired of lugging all of my heavy rods and tackle from one marina to another. Now I will be able to simply drop a line from my bedroom balcony to haul in today’s catch. Now that’s what I call luxury!”
