Bayso Sarasota is an 18-story condominium tower at 301 Quay Commons, developed by Kolter Urban in The Quay, the waterfront district on Sarasota Bay at the edge of downtown Sarasota. It topped off in late 2022 and was completed in 2023, with 149 residences designed by SB Architects (Florida YIMBY, November 2022).
The residences were marketed as owner-occupied homes, with two and three bedroom plans plus den running roughly from 1,600 to over 2,600 square feet, and seven penthouses ranging from about 2,500 to over 5,000 square feet with higher ceilings and long-range bay views (Sarasota Magazine and Florida YIMBY, 2022). Premier Sotheby's International Realty handled sales, which sold out in less than a year. Kast Construction was the general contractor.
This is a building, not a neighborhood, so the money is made or lost on the specific residence: the floor, the exposure, the ceiling height, the terrace, and the building's financial and structural posture, not a headline price for the address.
The pitch is bayfront living a walk from downtown Sarasota and The Bay park, with a resort-style pool deck and a deep amenity program. The work is reading the condo documents: the milestone inspection schedule, the structural integrity reserve study, the operating budget, and the flood and wind insurance math for a coastal tower.
