Premier Sotheby’s International Realty announced today that the Grand Residence at AQUA closed today at $5,695,000 along with the 2nd floor residence at $3,295,000. The same Buyer purchased both residences and was represented by Joel Schemmel of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty via a referral from Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International. This represents the highest price achieved for a condo sale in Sarasota and Manatee Counties in 2018 and the purchases together at $8,990,000 represent the highest overall residential sale so far this year.
Located on prestigious Golden Gate Point, directly on the waters of Sarasota Bay, AQUA was marketed exclusively by Joel Schemmel and Cheryl Loeffler of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Sarasota office. Premier Sotheby’s International Realty associates listed and sold 100% of the tower, with Schemmel and/or Loeffler representing a total of seven of eight sales, and Matt and Maureen Morris, also of the firm’s Sarasota office, bringing the buyer for one of the residences.
Aqua has taken its place among Sarasota’s finest luxury condominium residences, offering breathtaking views of sparkling water, magnificent sunsets, and the shimmering city lights of Sarasota’s skyline. Just moments from award-winning restaurants, shops and galleries, it is also close to St. Armand’s Circle and Lido Beach.
The tower’s world-class amenities include a full-time concierge, two private elevator entrances to each residence, enclosed private two-car garages, a temperature-controlled wine room with secured individual vaults, a Technogym fitness center and separate yoga studio, and private massage and facial salon. Residents also enjoy exclusive access to a heated waterfront pool with ample shade, a waterfront putting green and private boat slips with lifts.
In keeping with the heritage of the Sarasota School of Architecture, AQUA was designed by Guy Peterson | Office for Architecture of Sarasota and developed by Jonathan & Cynthia McCague.
“It has been thrilling to work on the AQUA project from start to finish. Being able to bring the Buyer for both of the remaining residences and knowing they will enjoy everything about AQUA is the perfect finish to the project” says Schemmel.
