Visionary

Buyers should rightly ask about the track record of the development team — architects, contractors, the financial partners and the developer itself. Are they experienced in the market? Are past clients pleased with the quality and durability of delivered residences and amenities? Are the design teams, contractors and financial partners established, trusted and experienced?

On all these fronts, The Ronto Group and its trusted team welcomes — indeed encourages — this conversation, for this group has repeatedly delivered projects of similar scope and scale with exceptional success up and down the Gulf Coast. And especially in landmark Sarasota projects. Their reputation is for consistently delivering value without compromise.

THE RONTO GROUP

Along the storied Gulf Coast, from tony Naples to trending Sarasota, are landmarks of grace and sophistication. Condominiums yes, but beyond this they are monuments to quality and commitment. All are exclusively residential, and as such are required to satisfy owners — a far more demanding audience than the transient hotel guest. For more than 50 years The Ronto Group has earned an enviable reputation for projects that make an immediate, and lasting contribution to their communities. The benefit to the future owners at Amara is a richly experienced developer, one that is passionate about quality, and as true to their word as their craft.

The dimensions stated in this brochure are measured to the exterior boundaries of the exterior walls and the centerline of interior demising walls and, in fact, are larger than the dimensions of the “Unit/Residence” as defined in the Amara Condominium Association documentation, which are measured using interior measurements. All dimensions are approximate and all floorplans and development plans are subject to change. Floorplans may be built in reverse depending on unit location.
