Future Seaglass residents take advantage of Finishing Touches Program

Submitted by Caffrey & Associates

With construction of the 26-floor, 120-unit Seaglass high-rise tower at Bonita Bay progressing as planned, future residents are taking advantage of The Ronto Group’s Finishing Touches Program. The program is designed to assist future residents with finish selections and to ensure each residence meets individual buyer preferences. Opportunities to specify finish selections will become progressively limited as construction progresses.

Seaglass will feature fully completed, ready for occupancy residences with designer-selected premium finishes, including flooring, paint, and trim. The space sequences and components found in the kitchens and master baths will reflect the contemporary flair found in the architectural style of the building. Each residence will come with two protected access under-building parking spaces. Private enclosed two-car garages will be available.

Based in the Seaglass Design Studio in the Seaglass Sales Center at 26951 Country Club Drive within Bonita Bay, the Finishing Touches Program allows future residents to select finishes for their new home’s flooring, cabinetry, counter tops, door hardware, plumbing fixtures, and paint colors. An outfitted kitchen featuring the finishes and Thermadore appliances available at Seaglass is included at the Design Studio, as well as stone, porcelain and wood flooring and carpet selections; granite, marble, and quartz counter tops; decorative backsplash choices; trim, doors, faucets, and plumbing fixtures; and a gas grill.

Future residents are invited to meet with the Finishing Touches coordinator at the Design Studio and to include the Seaglass building architect and their own interior designer in the Finishing Touches Program selection process. To ensure each residence is finished to each owner’s specific tastes, future residents may also specify finishes from other sources.

The designer-selected finishes at the Design Studio are ideally suited to the open concept living spaces and amenity rich lifestyle featured at Seaglass. Three tower residence great room floor plans, ranging from 2,889 to 3,421 square feet under air, are priced starting at just over $1 million. The tower residences will include dual private elevator grand foyers, large island kitchens, three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, or three bedrooms plus a den or fourth bedroom and three-and-a-half baths, walk-in closets in the owner’s suite, and sliders opening to multiple outdoor spaces that include a gas grill. Ten-foot ceiling heights are included per plan.

With the building’s penthouse residences sold out, Ronto is making a unique opportunity available to purchasers of residences on the 20th through 23rd floors at Seaglass that will allow them to maximize their high-rise living experience. In addition to selecting finishes for their new home, Ronto is offering homebuyers an opportunity to join two upper units together to create a 6,200-square-foot residence with views of the Gulf of Mexico. Each expanded residence will come with four protected access under-building parking spaces.

Ronto has selected three design firms to create the interiors of model residences at Seaglass at Bonita Bay, each will include the finishes now on display at the Design Studio. The designs will be created by Robb & Stucky, Renee Gaddis Interiors and Cinnabar Design.

Robb & Stucky’s Susan J. Bleda and Rachelle Porco are creating the interior for the 804 tower residence at Seaglass. The 3,088-square-foot floor plan includes three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a den, an open great room, dining area, and island kitchen, terrace space totaling 485 square feet, and a private elevator foyer.

Bleda and Porco’s design will exude sophistication while providing an exceptional level of livability. Set against a background wall tone of soft sandy bisque that runs throughout the home, their color palette will include light creams and whites. Muted accents of frosted glass will be layered with matte gold and silver metallics. Furnishings will be clean lined with fabrics that include leather against cotton and linen. In the living area, a dramatic 10-foot wide fireplace will be installed within a built-out section of wall adorned with wallpaper. On either side of the fireplace, thick glass shelving with the look of seaglass will be lit from above to create bright display space that can also be muted for softer mood lighting. Two sofas perpendicular to the fireplace will be upholstered in bisque linen. Two easy chairs will face the fireplace, while in the center of the grouping a cocktail table will make a statement.

Renee Gaddis, NCIDQ, ASID, GREEN AP of Renee Gaddis Interiors is creating the interior for tower residence 306. The tower residence 306 plan offers 3,421 square feet and 525 square feet of covered terrace space. The great room plan includes three bedrooms plus a den or fourth bedroom, three-and-a-half baths, an island kitchen and dining area, and a private elevator lobby.

Gaddis is mixing light and dark wood tones for eclectic charm. The color palette is based on blue-grays. The flooring will be a warm wood tone. The design includes an optional fireplace and a dry bar. The great room will feature a ceiling detail in a checkerboard style and multiple seating areas. A fireplace clad in marble will provide the focus for the television viewing area. A dry bar will create an oasis for wine tasting. A banquette and two chairs will be grouped around a table. Sliders will open to a terrace that will accommodate a grill zone with a dining table. The den will be entered through a sliding door that rolls to the side like a barn door. The den will function as a lounging area.

Laurie Walter and Diana Hall, IDS, are creating the interior for tower residence 605. Walter and Hall will take advantage of the abundance of natural light afforded by the 2,889-square-foot under air floor plan’s western exposure and expansive windows. The plan includes 464 square feet of covered terrace space, including a terrace off the owner’s bedroom, dining room and great room that will host a grill zone, and outdoor dining and conversation areas. Inside, the private elevator lobby will open to a wide gallery hallway leading to a powder bath and a gourmet kitchen with a large island with bar stool seating. Beyond the kitchen, the great room will feature an optional fireplace and multiple seating areas. The owner’s suite provides Gulf views, walk-in closets, and a bath with his and her vanities. The guest suites, one of which opens to a covered terrace, include private baths.
