Today we are taking you on location to show you the progress at the construction site of the St. Regis Residences and Resort Longboat Key.
There are presently 62 St. Regis Luxury Hotels/Resorts in the world and only 20 properties that offer the St. Regis Residences. Among these great locations are Dubai, Bermuda, and of course, the landmark establishment in New York City.
In just a couple of months, walk-throughs will begin for the 69 new St. Regis Residences Longboat Key owners, and the first closings will be in June of this year. The 166 room hotel will be open sometime this July 2024.
What’s really exciting is that the goal for Winfred Von Workum, the new general manager, is that this St. Regis Resort here on Longboat Key be the first Forbes FIVE STAR resort on the entire west coast of Florida!! Winfred has previously been the general manager for the St. Regis Bal Harbour, the St. Regis Washington, D.C., and the Ritz-Carlton New York.
Just to provide a glimpse of the experience residents and guest will have here every day:
- 4-acre saltwater lagoon, complete with tropical fish and stingrays and two resident Galapagos tortoises.
- The resort’s spa is comprehensive and includes a hair salon, nail salon, massages and relaxation areas.
- A more upscale restaurant will focus on steaks and seafood, whereas a more “approachable” Italian restaurant for families.
- A bar on the second floor is positioned perfectly to watch the sunset.
- The St. Regis will pay homage to the former Monkey Room Bar (beloved community spot when this property used to be The Colony) in the way of a tiki bar near the beach.
The residences of the St Regis have been sold out for years, but as we know from previous new construction opportunities, a small number of unit owner may choose not to move forward once the closings happen. This may provide an opportunity for new buyers to come in and own an exclusive piece of this paradise here on Longboat Key.
