The former Sarasota Quay
The Sarasota City Commission recently denied a Jacksonville developer’s request for a 30-year extension to develop the Quay property. Commissioner Chapman stated “The Quay property is one of the most valuable pieces of property in the city in terms of affecting our community.” “This is a project that is a bridge between our arts and culture amenities and our downtown.”

Boasting 141 residences, the VUE will offer extraordinary waterfront lifestyles on Sarasota Bay. An impressive 18-story structure at Gulfstream Avenue and U.S. 41 will feature magnificent views, expansive floor plans of 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms ranging from 1,700 to 2,600 sq. ft. and Penthouse residences from 2,800 to 3,500 sq. ft.
