The Grande Riviera

The Grande Riviera stands as one of Sarasota’s most prestigious and sought-after waterfront residences, occupying the prized southern tip of the exclusive Golden Gate Point peninsula. With only 13 residences in the entire building, this boutique, gated enclave offers an ultra-private living experience framed by sweeping panoramic views of Sarasota Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and the downtown skyline. Combining old-world Mediterranean architecture with world-class luxury, The Grande Riviera is an exceptional address for those seeking elegance, exclusivity, and walkable access to Sarasota’s cultural heart.

Positioned at 420 Golden Gate Point, residents of The Grande Riviera enjoy immediate access to the best of downtown Sarasota. A short walk leads to the dining, arts, and entertainment venues of Main Street and Palm Avenue. St. Armands Circle, with its vibrant boutiques and upscale restaurants, and the pristine sands of Lido Beach are just minutes away via the John Ringling Causeway. The nearby marina and Bayfront Park further enhance the nautical and walkable appeal of the location.

Built in 2005, The Grande Riviera was designed to reflect classic Mediterranean style, with a tiled barrel roof, arched windows, decorative columns, and finely manicured grounds. The building offers just ten luxury condominiums, two penthouses, and one grand villa—each one uniquely crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Because of its low density and private setting, The Grande Riviera caters to discerning residents who value privacy, exclusivity, and tranquil living, without sacrificing proximity to urban amenities.

Residences at The Grande Riviera feature large open floor plans ranging from approximately 2,600 to over 6,000 square feet. Expansive terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows capture some of the most commanding water views in all of Sarasota, including direct sightlines to the marina, Bird Key, and the Gulf beyond. Interiors are appointed with upscale finishes such as imported stone flooring, rich wood cabinetry, chef’s kitchens with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and luxurious spa bathrooms. Many homes have been further upgraded with smart home technology and custom design elements.

The building’s emphasis on privacy and comfort is matched by its high standard of service. The Grande Riviera provides 24-hour gated security, a private two-car garage for each residence, and a dedicated concierge team ready to assist residents with a range of personalized services. This boutique community is ideal for those who want a low-maintenance, luxury lifestyle in one of Sarasota’s most scenic waterfront locations.

The Grande Riviera continues to be a top-tier choice for high-net-worth individuals looking for a timeless residence that merges classical design with contemporary comfort. With its unmatched views, exclusive atmosphere, and proximity to Sarasota’s cultural and coastal offerings, it remains a symbol of refined waterfront living on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
