The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay reveal penthouse collection

NAPLES, FLA. – On the heels of successfully launching its North Tower, achieving half a billion in sales to date, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay has unveiled its exclusive penthouse collection, introducing four masterfully-designed sky villas to the Southwest Florida market. Developed by London Bay Development Group, the project unites a coveted waterfront location on Estero Bay surrounded by 500 acres of nature, with world-class design and the most amenities of any other condominium in the region.

Priced from $15,235,000, the collection presents two distinct floor plans ranging from 12,790 to 13,630 square feet that redefine indoor-outdoor living. The first features four bedrooms, four bathrooms and one half-bath, complemented by an awe-inspiring exterior terrace spanning 7,380 square feet. The second, nestled on the top level of each 22-story tower, includes four bedrooms, five bathrooms, one half-bath and a breathtaking 6,010-square-foot outdoor veranda. Reflecting the development’s promise to offer the pinnacle of coastal living amidst the area’s natural splendor, the sweeping terraces are a paradise for relaxation and entertainment. Soaring ceilings and sleek glass railings blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, granting unparalleled connection with the surrounding waters. Equipped with a summer kitchen and two dining areas, each offers a luxurious spa overlooking magnificent panoramas and various areas for relishing coveted sunsets.

Adding to the allure, each villa-like penthouse is elegantly appointed, as expansive layouts flooded with natural light will amplify the senses, emulating coastal tranquility. Interiors by award-winning design firm Meyer Davis offer the choice of three interior finish packages – light, medium, and dark – adding a personalized touch to match individual tastes. Millwork will bring warmth, while rare stones and luxury fabrics blend to exude the epitome of an elevated lifestyle.

Kitchens are adorned with European custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, Italian porcelain countertops and backsplash, and Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, including ample wine storage. Master bathrooms with double doors allow for sunrise to sunset vistas directly from the freestanding, center-mounted Kallista sculptured tub. A relaxing shower with a rain-head style system and handheld fixtures offers a spa-like rejuvenating experience. Each residence encompasses a generously sized den, providing versatility for a myriad of purposes, as well as private elevator entry within the residence, for exclusivity and ease.

“We take great pride in unveiling the crown jewels of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay to the market,” said Mark Wilson, CEO of London Bay Development Group. “These four phenomenal penthouses are above and beyond any other residence in Southwest Florida, uniting spectacular views with breathtaking, private outdoor spaces that are unrivaled. Curated by our esteemed design team, each residence sets a new benchmark for luxury high-rise living, promising an unmatched fusion of sophistication and coastal elegance.”

Globally renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica designed the two-tower development with the intention of capturing the essence of the Gulf Coast through natural colors, raw textures, and soft touches. The towers’ cascading façades, inspired by the waterfront undulation, purposefully frame the sky, seamlessly blending with the surrounding topography. The penthouse collection, keeping in line with the coastal-inspired design, was meticulously crafted to mirror the ambiance of grand hilltop residences, purposefully unfolding towards the captivating vistas of Estero Bay.

“What we created with this penthouse collection is a product truly unparalleled in the market. These homes embody the essence of ‘villas in the sky,’ boasting outdoor spaces unlike any other,” said Bernardo Fort-Brescia, Principal of Arquitectonica. “Penthouses at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay evoke the feeling of grand estates, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living with expansive terraces that rival the size of the units themselves, transforming Estero Bay into the owner’s private backyard.”
