Embrace a Slower Pace at The Ritz
Lee County has become a top destination for those seeking the slower paced, vacationesque lifestyle that Southwest Florida offers. Ranked third overall in second-home transactions in 2023 by Travel + Leisure, the area has attracted new attention from those wanting a retreat from the fast lane. In particular, Bonita Springs stands out—a quiet, charming town nestled between Naples and Ft. Myers, which invites residents to enjoy nature and embrace a simpler, more intentional way of life.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay responds to this demand by introducing 224 luxury waterfront condominiums to the heart of this charming town, striking a balance between luxury and relaxation. Set to begin delivery in 2026, the project has already surpassed $500 million in sales. With the South Tower nearly sold out, the North Tower and remaining penthouses present a rare opportunity to call this flourishing community home.
"The location of this property was a major selling point for us. It's tucked away from the crowds, which was exactly what we were looking for," said future resident Jamie Bersani. "We were drawn to this area because it offers a slower pace and less congestion compared to places like Naples or Miami, and Bonita Springs truly captivated us. I value my privacy and the feeling of being away from it all, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay checked all the boxes," he added.
Breathtaking views over the state's first aquatic preserve, a wealth of amenities, and a legacy hospitality standard are signature elements of this property. Spanning 500 acres of lush landscape, these residences are the first offering within the greater Saltleaf on Estero Bay coastal village, a community designed for those looking to savor a more laid-back, authentic Florida lifestyle.
Led by London Bay Development Group, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay are priced from the $3 millions and range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet. Thoughtfully designed floor plans feature two, three, and four-bedroom layouts, each with a den, private elevator lobby, and spacious balconies—perfect for soaking in the most prized sunsets of Florida's paradise coast.
