michaelsaunders.com | 85 Gorda COUNTY Gorda COUNTY This quintessential phrase has long conjured images of sun-soaked beaches, emerald golf courses and relaxed retirees, and while this is certainly still true, Florida living has evolved to be so much more. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the new communities on Florida's Gulf Coast, where exceptional residential opportunities are geared toward a wide array of lifestyle aspirations — from a dream home in the suburbs to a pied-à- terre in the heart of the city. With so much to choose from, let's jump right in and take a look at the options. The definitive place to experience a life of urban sophistication is downtown Sarasota. It's walkable core, lined with specialty shops, elegant restaurants and art galleries, even feels a little European. From a morning's jog along the Bayfront, to lunch beneath the banyans at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, to a daylong fishing charter or a sunny morning stroll at each Saturday's Farmers' Market, downtown Sarasota presents an authentic city experience — with a tropical climate thrown in. One of the communities currently re- sculpting the city skyline is VUE Sarasota Bay. A limited number of penthouses and other prime residences are still available, where residents will enjoy breathtaking water views, world-class amenities and of course, a prime downtown location. Adjacent to the Westin Sarasota and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences, owners at VUE will also have access to the highly-acclaimed spa services, dining, tennis and other venues just a short stroll away. Four-legged residents are not forgotten at VUE - the parking garage rooftop is home to the VUE doggie park. A l i t t l e f u r t h e r i n t o t h e h e a r t o f downtown, The Mark will be breaking ground. Here, 157 residences will be built alongside 50,000 square feet of ground floor retail and office space — including "The Promenade," an interactive alfresco shopping and dining experience. "The Florida lifestyle."
