Contractor named for Quay condominium development

With site work nearly complete, developer Kolter Urban has announced its selection of Fort Lauderdale-based Moss Construction as general contractor for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay in The Quay. 

Previously identified as Ritz-Carlton Residences II, the 78-unit luxury condominium tower will be built on Blocks 7 and 8 in The Quay. Kolter Urban and Moss Construction teamed up to deliver the first Ritz-Carlton Residences tower on Block 6 in 2021. Site work began in April and foundations and utilities installation are 90% complete.

“Moss is a leading contractor in Florida and beyond, boasting extensive experience and a successful history of delivering top-tier developments,” said Kolter Urban Regional Vice President Brian Van Slyke in a news release. "We are confident that they are the best partners for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay.”

Recent projects delivered by Moss include St. Regis Resort and Residences Longboat Key, Auberge Beach Residences & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, JW Marriott Clearwater Beach, and Wyndham Grand Resort Clearwater Beach.

Designed by architecture firm SB Architects of Coral Gables, Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay will range from 3,500 to just less than 6,000 square feet, according to the news release. Units will feature 12- and 13-foot ceilings in main living areas and expansive terraces will provide panoramic views with built-in outdoor grills. Access-controlled elevators and separate service elevators for deliveries will offer privacy and security.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Sarasota Bay is expected to reach completion in late 2026. Premier Sotheby's International Realty is leading the sales program.

The second Ritz-Carlton Residences tower is the next step in a multi-phase development. Kolter-Urban is currently working through the city’s administrative review process for redevelopment of the adjacent Hyatt Regency Hotel into a mixed-use, two-tower residential, hotel and commercial project.
