1000 Benjamin Franklin Dr

An 11-story, 2026-built condominium collection of 65 private residences sited on 3.5 acres of Gulf-front property in Sarasota’s Lido Key. The tower was conceived by Miami-based Swedroe Architecture with interiors by Lillian Wu Studios and emphasizes expansive, open-plan living with 11-foot volume ceilings and private elevator vestibules. Residences are configured primarily as three- and four-bedroom homes with generous terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, service galleys, wet bars, and outdoor summer kitchens; finishes cited include Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, Waterworks plumbing fixtures, Irpinia cabinetry, Rocky Mountain hardware and extensive built-in wine storage. Common interior features include crown molding, tray ceilings, high ceilings, walk-in closets and primary bedrooms on the main floor in selected plans. Exterior provisions highlight private terraces and balconies, sliding glass doors, irrigation and landscaped grounds, plus enclosed private garages. The property offers a large, multi-level amenity complex (tens of thousands of square feet) arranged as an owners’ club: two outdoor pools with cabanas, a lap/zero-edge pool, full-service beach club with chair/umbrella service and water-sport programming, a world-class fitness center, full spa with hot/cold plunge pools and steam rooms, private screening/theater, game room, social lounges and a residents-only bistro. Services are hotel-style and continuous: 24-hour concierge, valet parking, in-residence dining and bespoke owner services administered under the Rosewood brand. Located minutes from St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota, the development combines beachfront seclusion with easy access to restaurants, shopping and cultural venues.
