Hello Georgia,
As spring approaches, Sarasota is preparing for some thrilling events in April. Among them is the 26th Annual Sarasota Film Festival, which will be held from April 5 to 14, 2024. I also look forward to the 38th Annual Run for the Turtles on Siesta Key Beach, which will take place on April 6. Lastly, the final Ringling College Library Association Town Hall Series 2024, featuring Misty Copeland, the former principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, will take place on April 15. Single tickets are still available.
This issue includes information about the Sarasota residential real estate market, a video showcasing the topping off of Peninsula Sarasota, tips on the best place for croissants, glamping Sarasota style, and more.
If you have any questions about living in Sarasota, selling a home, or buying a new one, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to help and provide you with any information you need."
With your expectations in mind,
Georgia

Check out the video of the topping off of the building. It's cool. | |

Peninsula Sarasota, the luxurious condominium complex on Golden Gate Point, has reached a significant milestone in its development. Construction has topped off, meaning the building's topmost story has been completed. This is an exciting achievement for everyone involved in the project and marks a significant step towards the complex's completion.
The expected move-in date is Thanksgiving 2024! The property is in high demand, and construction is progressing ahead of schedule. Residences are quickly approaching sellout, and the remaining units are priced at $4.5 million.
The Sales Gallery at 1300 Main Street, open daily, offers more information. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions. Alternatively, visit PeninsulaSarasota.com or schedule a Virtual Experience tour at 941-655-9669.

If you're a fan of French cuisine, Rendez-Vous is the perfect place to indulge in some of the most delectable baked goods. Their baguettes are freshly baked and crusty, with a lovely aroma that will make your mouth water. The omelets are divine and made to satisfy your savory tooth. And don't even get me started on the scrumptious pastries! | |
But the true star of the show at Rendez-Vous is the croissant. Perfectly flaky on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside, these croissants are an absolute delight. They are so good that my family and I make it a point to have them every Saturday morning for breakfast. Once you've tried them, you won't be able to resist going back for more. | |
