BUYERS FEEL CONFIDENT IN DECISION TO CALL THE RITZ-CARLTON RESIDENCES, ESTERO BAY HOME

Advancing construction, strong sales momentum and a realized waterfront vision reinforce early buyer confidence as the community takes shape on Estero Bay.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. ─ Early buyers at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Estero Bay committed to what was then a promise: a legacy brand, a rare coastal location, a defined architectural vision, and a service-centered lifestyle.

Today, that promise is a reality. Undulating glass rises 22 stories above the shoreline, while lagoon waters are being filled and interior finishes enter their final stages. With the first tower nearing completion and the second well underway, what once lived on paper now shapes the waterfront itself.

For current owners, construction progress affirms the quality and attention to detail promised at launch. For prospective homeowners, witnessing the scale, craftsmanship, and setting realized in real time brings greater certainty to the purchasing process.

And as the property continues to take shape, so too has the response—surpassing three quarters of a billion dollars in total sales to date across both towers. That strong financial foundation helps keep construction milestones moving forward and the delivery timeline on track.

The 224-residence property, the first Ritz-Carlton branded residential offering of its kind in Bonita Springs, has introduced a new standard for condominium living in the region—pairing five-star hospitality and service with direct access to Estero Bay, expansive amenities, and unobstructed water views.

Led by London Bay Development Group, the project brings together a globally recognized design team. Arquitectonica shapes the striking two-tower silhouette and waterfront presence, while Meyer Davis crafts interiors defined by refined finishes and bayside influence. Located within the 500-acre coastal village of Saltleaf, the residences anchor a growing master-planned community where home and nature exist in rare harmony.

“When buyers feel confident in what they’re purchasing, momentum follows,” said Mark Wilson, CEO of London Bay. “As the first tower nears completion, that assurance becomes real, and we’re seeing that translate directly into rising demand for the remaining opportunities in the second tower. People recognize what this community is becoming, and they want to be part of it.”

The Residences

The property will be awe-inspiring from the moment of arrival at the striking porte-cochère, flowing through to the lobby, into an array of outdoor amenity spaces, and across the tranquil waters of Estero Bay.

Spacious, well-appointed interiors with expansive terraces offer ample opportunity for unwinding, both indoors and out—with the coveted sunsets serving as its muse.

Master suites with expansive bathrooms and walk-in closets create your ultimate sanctuary. Elegant vanities featuring contemporary integrated sinks, custom millwork, and a sculptural freestanding tub by Kallista® transform the space into a true spa retreat.

For the avid chef, social entertainer or everyday cook, the gourmet kitchen is a place to get lost in flavorful, simmering senses. Top-of-the-line appliances and custom European cabinetry offer a taste of the special qualities of the space.

Each residence will also incorporate a devoted laundry room with an Electrolux® front-load washer and dryer, plus a utility sink. Storage will be plentiful, with spacious bedroom closets and an on-floor private storage unit per residence.

The Amenities

Here, 36,000 square feet of indoor offerings is a playground for curiosity and intrigue.

Fuel up at the Sports & News Café, with daily continental breakfast to suit various palates. Then use your fuel at the Wellness Center, including a state-of-the-art gym, yoga studio, private training rooms, steam room, and sauna.

As the late afternoon rain rolls in, perfect your swing in the sports simulator or settle into the theater-style screening room for cinematic bliss.

Once the day winds down, experience the iconic Southwest Florida sunset at the Sunset Lounge, where cocktails and conversations collide, softly drifting onto the surrounding Oasis terrace.

For unforgettable evenings, the private dining room sets the stage for curated meals. Or take it up a notch with a cooking class in the demonstration kitchen. Challenge friends to a game of bridge in the dedicated card room, or toast to a weekend well spent in the Wine & Whiskey Lounge.

The Outdoors

Blending both tranquility and adventure, outdoor amenities extend from your doorstep all the way to the waterfront.

Find your peace at one of three cascading pools nestled in a tropical retreat, where sun and shade lovers can relax in pavilions surrounding the serene lagoon water feature.

For a bit of friendly competition, head to the bocce courts. Or fire up the grilling stations for lunchtime rendezvous. At night, gather around the firepit to bask in the warmth of crackling flames and enjoy freshly made s’mores.

Just steps from the property, Saltleaf Marina will offer 72 private boat slips, full concierge services, and waterfront dining at Acqua Bistecca. Further into the neighborhood, Saltleaf Golf Preserve offers two standout public courses, a golf shop, a bar and grill, and a lush natural setting for leisurely days on the green.
