With the second tower having recently broken ground, the project continues to meet the demand for luxury-branded waterfront living in Southwest Florida, with sales soaring during the region’s off-season.
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. ─ The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, developed by London Bay Development Group, have reached a major milestone with $700 million in total contracts signed. With three of its four penthouses already sold, the development continues to see strong momentum as demand for luxury-branded condominium living in Southwest Florida accelerates. Located within the serene Saltleaf on Estero Bay community and surrounded by 500 acres of nature preserve, the property will include 224 residences across two 22-story towers and nearly a mile of pristine waterfront. The first building is scheduled to open its doors to residents in early 2026.
“Sales for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay have exceeded our expectations, and continue to soar despite the region’s off-season,” said Mark Wilson, CEO of London Bay Development Group. “Reaching $700 million in sales with just one penthouse remaining is the strongest validation that our vision—and the exceptional lifestyle it delivers—is resonating with buyers.”
The stunning 5,000-square-foot Sales Gallery, which overlooks the property’s ongoing construction, is open daily, welcoming both buyers and brokers to explore the rare opportunity to call The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay home. The immersive space includes a 3D scale model of the property, a full-size residence kitchen, a wet bar with wine storage, and a master bathroom and closet crafted with custom millwork, showcasing all finishes and appliances.
Priced from the $3 millions, residences range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet and include two, three, or four bedrooms with a den. Unobstructed sunset views of the bay and spacious balconies up to 2,200 square feet enhance enjoyment of daily life. Storage will be abundant, with generous bedroom closets and a personal private storage unit located on each floor.

Bocce courts, multiple fire pits and grills also provide abundant activities that promote group gatherings. Imagined by globally acclaimed design firm Arquitectonica, the cascading façades of the buildings are inspired by the tranquil waterfront setting, integrating harmoniously into the surrounding topography.
