The award-winning developer is currently debuting three new projects, including two new high-rises within The Colony at Pelican Landing in Bonita Springs, the Rosewood Residences Lido Key in Sarasota, and South Seas Island Resort on the northern tip of Captiva Island.

Omega is a new 27-floor high-rise tower being built by Ronto and will be the final luxury high-rise tower built at Bonita Bay. Construction is on schedule for completion in 4th quarter 2022. Just 14 purchase opportunities remain available. Designed by architect Robert Swedroe, Omega presents a fresh perspective on luxury and offers an approach to high-rise living never available in the Southwest Florida until now. The expansive open living spaces and sheer size of Omega’s residences reflect Ronto and Swedroe’s approach. Rather than designing a four unit per floor building, they created a three unit per floor approach that allowed the residences to be wider and more spacious than any of the other high-rise towers currently under construction in Southwest Florida. The Omega tower will feature 67 residences, including 63 spacious tower residences and four penthouses, three of which are under contract. Pricing for the remaining tower residences that offer a stunning 4,645 square feet or 4,210 square feet under air and expansive views 78-feet or 68-feet wide ranges from $3,900,000 to $5,555,000. The remaining penthouse residence is priced at $8,500,000 and features a six-car “tandem” garage and a private poolside cabana. The unsold residences at Omega will showcase beautiful designer specified feature and finish packages that will be installed as the residences are completed. Homebuyers still have an opportunity to customize their finish selections for a very limited time and are encouraged to make their purchase decisions now.
