If you’ve driven along US-41 near Trader Joe’s lately, you’ve probably noticed cranes and earth-movers behind the familiar storefronts. That activity marks the official start of construction on Bath + Racquet Residences & Club, the 13-acre redevelopment of Sarasota’s famed Bath + Racquet Club. With permits in hand and a $79 million construction loan secured, crews have broken ground on what will soon be a one-of-a-kind destination combining luxury homes with world-class racquet facilities and wellness amenities.
What’s Taking Shape
• 256 luxury condominiums spread across four boutique buildings (45 ft. in height)
• Over 20 floor plans—including seven three-story penthouses and a full sell-out of all one-bedroom layouts
Racquet sports hub featuring 13 outdoor tennis courts, 12 indoor air-conditioned pickleball courts, and 4 additional outdoor pickleball courts
Members-only club with a full-service restaurant & bar, resort-style pool, spa, and state-of-the-art fitness center
Thoughtfully designed landscaping and pedestrian pathways that reconnect the site to its 1969 heritage as Sarasota’s premier tennis venue
Sales Momentum
Since reservations opened in early 2023, buyers have responded enthusiastically:
• 1-Bedroom Units From $700,000 100% sold
• 2-Bedroom Units From $756,100 Limited availability
• 3-Bedroom Units From $1.07 million Limited availability
• Penthouses - On request And Accepting reservations
With most released inventory already under contract, the development team expects the first residents to move in by December 2026. Club memberships will roll out in phases ahead of opening, giving future homeowners priority access.
Why Buyers Love Bath + Racquet
• Prime “West of Trail” location—five minutes to downtown, ten to Siesta or Lido Beach.
• Lock-and-leave convenience with low-maintenance living and robust security.
• Wellness-forward design—indoor pickleball, spa services, fitness programming, and health-conscious dining all on site.
• Legacy appeal—a chance to own in a community that once hosted icons like Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.
• Future value—large-scale, amenity-rich projects of this caliber are rare in central Sarasota, positioning early buyers for strong appreciation.
