Nestled amid nearly a mile of pristine waterfront in the coastal village of Saltleaf on Estero Bay, the property - a signature development by the London Bay Development Group - includes two elegant 22-story high-rise towers housing 224 distinguished residences. The journey of constructing The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay has been a memorable one, filled with significant milestones.
In June of 2022, construction for Saltleaf on Estero Bay began marked by the groundbreaking of the Saltleaf Golf Preserve. This was a milestone occasion to usher in the first construction activity for the 500-acre Saltleaf village, a coastal village on Estero Bay that will be home to The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay, Saltleaf Marina and many other special experiences upon its full vision.
In April of 2023, the groundbreaking of Saltleaf Marina began which is designed to connect the residents with the tranquil waters of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
