London Bay announces the opening of first tower for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay

London Bay Development Group announces the completion and delivery of its first residential tower for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, known as “South Tower,” one of two 22-story buildings that will together span nearly a mile of pristine waterfront and offer 224 residences in total. This milestone signals a defining moment in the ongoing transformation of Estero Bay into one of the area’s premier lifestyle communities. The grand tower opening marks the culmination of years of meticulous design, construction, and sales success surpassing three-quarters of a billion dollars.

Situated within Saltleaf on Estero Bay— a 500-acre master-planned coastal village poised to continue shaping the area for years to come with future residential and lifestyle offerings — the dual towers of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay are the centerpiece of the destination. Saltleaf represents the largest project in London Bay’s 35-year history, and the South Tower’s debut reflects the new chapter of Estero Bay as it becomes a treasured destination on the Gulf Coast.

“This project has been the defining chapter of our story that combines years of vision, investment, and an unwavering belief in what Estero Bay could become,” said Mark Wilson, CEO and President of London Bay Development Group. “Watching our Owners walk through the doors for the first time, experiencing the views, the spaces, and the details we have so thoughtfully curated for them, will affirm everything this community was always meant to be. We are equally proud of what this moment signals for Estero Bay itself and the future we are only beginning to build.”

For residence owners, the South Tower’s arrival is a dream turned reality: private elevator lobbies, expansive terraces extending up to 2,200 square feet, and panoramic, unobstructed sunset views. Interiors by award-winning New York design studio Meyer Davis bring together European-inspired cabinetry, premium Sub-Zero/Wolf appliances, spa-style primary baths with freestanding soaking tubs, and generous closet and private on-floor storage. Residences range from 2,628 to 3,885 square feet with two-, three-, and four-bedroom layouts, each with a den, priced from the $3 millions. Crowning both towers, a collection of penthouses priced from $15,235,000 and spanning up to 13,630 square feet with outdoor terraces of up to 7,380 square feet sets a new benchmark for luxury living. Designed by globally acclaimed architecture firm Arquitectonica, the cascading façades of the buildings are inspired by the tranquil coastal setting, integrating harmoniously into the surrounding topography.

 “This milestone reflects the strong collaboration of many individuals, including the construction teams, whose craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout the property, as well as the city and broader community, whose support has been instrumental along the way. At the heart of this property is The Ritz-Carlton’s philosophy of Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen. It is that spirit, which is intentional, thoughtful, and present in every interaction with our owners, that transforms a residence into a home. We are proud to be part of this journey and to work alongside such an exceptional team to bring it to life.” said Alicia Koenig, Vice President of Residential Operations at Marriott International.
