The Jewel at Main Street

The Jewel at Main Street Condos for Sale – Sarasota, Florida 34236

The Jewel at Main Street, Sarasota, is a shining example of the robust recovery of the luxury condo market from the housing downturn during the Great Recession. This 18-story condominium is a mixed-use development with 19 residences expected to be fully complete before end-2015. Prior to its completion, all of its units, including the commercial spaces have already been sold, and as of March 2015, the only available unit is one of its penthouses offered in the resale market.

The condominium prime’s location at 1301 Main Street corner Gulfstream Avenue is a strong driver to the swift buyers’ response to The Jewel units offered among luxury Sarasota condos for sale. Timing appears perfect too for this development, which was reportedly implemented at a $50 million project cost. The Jewel was among the first condominium projects to be constructed after the last economic downturn, and thus, it emerged ahead of the pack as soon as the housing market recovered.

Downtown’s tallest

Prestige also comes as inherent to the Jewel’s DNA. In addition to its premier Main Street address, this condominium has a reported height potential of between 211 and 236 feet, making it a strong contender as downtown’s tallest building. At its roof deck, the surrounding views extend all the way to Anna Maria Island, truly a unique feature among Sarasota condos for sale.

Future residents of all condo units will also enjoy an unobstructed panorama of Sarasota Bay, the Island Park/Marina, the famous Ringling Bridge, St. Armands Circle, and Lido Beach. The Jewel’s proximity to all the lifestyle offerings at these downtown areas and nearby points of interest, by itself, is an excellent come-on to buyers of luxury Sarasota condos for sale.

Superb modernist design

Moreover, the Jewel’s modernist architecture is quite striking. It stands out with its well-appointed lobby, spacious terraces, and expansive glass panels which translate into floor-to-ceiling glass allowing ample natural light for the condo units. Nine of these units occupy an entire floor while the rest are assigned two to a floor. The first three levels of the building are reserved for garage parking.

Open concept layouts characterize the residential condos’ floor plans which range from 2,350 to 4,700 square feet. High ceilings and spacious common areas enhance the bright and airy feel within this condominium building. Additionally, the Jewel is envisioned as a fully automated “smart building,” giving residents remote control access to their units to ensure that their doors are securely locked and thermostats are set at the desired level.

Plush amenities deck

Exquisite amenities await the condo owners who have shelled out some $1.4 million up to close to $4.2 million in purchasing units at the Jewel. The amenities deck, which is set in the condominium’s third level, flaunts a meeting and greeting room with card tables, a 20-meter lap pool, steam bath, Jacuzzi, and infrared sauna.

This amenities floor also boasts of a fully equipped gym with a hi-tech workout and aerobic facilities. Outdoors, the Jewel’s recreational offerings shifts to a platform tennis court and a professionally designed six-hole putting green with synthetic turf.
