The Ronto Group is renovating its Sales Center within Bonita Bay to showcase finishes available in residences at its Omega tower.

The Ronto Group announced it is renovating its Sales Center at 26951 Country Club Drive within Bonita Bay to showcase finishes available in residences at its 27-floor Omega tower.  The renovation includes the installation of a completely finished full-sized kitchen.  A scale model of the Omega tower will also be available for viewing.  Omega has been designed to provide the newest and largest luxury high-rise residences in Southwest Florida.  Standard finishes in the fully completed Omega residences will reflect Ronto’s attention to creating a luxurious yet exceedingly livable environment.  Flooring in the living areas will be wood, stone, or porcelain tile.  The island kitchens will be outfitted with designer selected cabinetry, a multitude of quartz or granite countertop selections, a 36-inch SubZero refrigerator and 18-inch freezer, Wolf gas ranges and ovens, a Miele dishwasher, and Dornbracht plumbing fixtures.  The bathrooms will also feature designer selected cabinetry and quartz or granite countertops, Dornbracht plumbing fixtures, and Toto toilets.

“With every residence including expansive open-concept living areas, spacious covered outdoor terraces, luxurious features and finishes, a private elevator lobby, a private air-conditioned storage space on the same floor as the residence, and a private enclosed two-car garage, Omega offers unprecedented value,” said The Ronto Group’s director of sales Van Osborne.  “Omega will be the last luxury high-rise to be built within Bonita Bay and provides a final opportunity for a new, maintenance-free, amenity rich luxury condominium lifestyle within the award-winning community at an exceptional price point.” 

Designed by architect Robert Swedroe, Omega presents a fresh perspective on luxury and offers an approach to high-rise living never available in the Southwest Florida until now.  The clean-lined tower will feature 67 residences, including 63 spacious tower residences and four penthouses.  To date, Ronto has processed binding sales contracts worth more than $85 million.  Three of the four spectacular penthouses have been sold.  The remaining penthouse features a six-car “tandem” garage and is priced at $6.75 million.  Pre-construction pricing for the tower residences that offer a stunning 4,645 square feet or 4,210 square feet under air and expansive views 78-feet or 68-feet wide starts at $2.150 million.

Ronto and Swedroe have created a high-rise living experience at Omega that has already set a new standard in Southwest Florida.  They focused on creating the building from the inside out based on interviews with potential purchasers.  The purchasers indicated view corridors and spacious, open floor plans with flowing living areas, large owner suites and secondary bedrooms, big outdoor living areas, private garages, and readily accessible storage space were all critical to the living experience.  Functionality and comfort were more important than form.  Rather than wanting to downsize by moving into a condominium with less square footage than their single-family homes, potential purchasers wanted to simplify their lives by moving into a maintenance-free environment without sacrificing space or livability.

The expansive open living spaces and sheer size of Omega’s residences reflect Ronto and Swedroe’s approach.  Their design takes advantage of innovative high-rise construction methods and materials that span greater distances and allow the use of more glass.  Rather than designing a four unit per floor building, they created a three unit per floor approach that allowed the residences to be wider and more spacious than any of the other high-rise towers currently under construction in Southwest Florida.  As a result, the Omega floor plans offer the square footage and width found in estate homes built on 110-foot home sites.  The light-filled residences will feature larger, wider, open living spaces with walls comprised of tall windows that will offer incredible views of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.  The living spaces, owners’ suites, and some of the guest bedrooms will open to huge outdoor terraces that will feature 42-inch high glass railings.  Volume ceiling heights of ten feet four-inches, or eleven feet four-inches in the penthouses, except where dropped, will create a sense of space that cannot be duplicated by remodeling the existing high-rise residences that dot the shoreline between Naples and Fort Myers.

Omega’s 01 and 03 tower residences will include 4,645 square feet under air, an unobstructed 68-foot wide view, outdoor terrace areas totaling 1,005 square feet, and an 80 square-foot or 75 square-foot private air-conditioned storage space on the same floor as the residence.  The plans feature a massive great room, elegant dining area, comfortable family room, and a double-island kitchen.  The great room and owner’s bedroom open to a huge west and northwest facing terrace with multiple conversation areas, a dining area, and an outdoor kitchen with a gas grill.  The double-island kitchen offers an additional gathering place when entertaining.  The plan also includes a den, four-and-a-half baths, and three large guest bedrooms.  The den and all three guest bedrooms open to another large terrace that offers sunrise views. 

The 02-tower plan offers 4,210-square feet under air, an unobstructed 78-foot wide view, 540 square feet of outdoor terrace space, and 75 square feet of private air-conditioned storage space.  The plan features a massive great room, an elegant dining area, a comfortable family room, and an island kitchen that combine to create the spacious, open living area preferred by potential purchasers.  The great room fully opens to a terrace with conversation and dining areas and an outdoor kitchen with a gas grill.  The plan also includes a den, three-and-a-half baths, and three large bedrooms that provide views of Estero Bay and the Gulf.  The owner’s suite features a huge walk-in closet, and a bath with separate vanities and separate water closets.

Ronto has included a comprehensive array of amenities at Omega, including 18,000 square feet of indoor amenities.   A clubroom will measure more than 3,000 square feet and feature tall windows overlooking the tower’s exterior amenity deck.  Contemporary glass railings will line the deck’s curved perimeter and overlook one of Bonita Bay’s three on-property golf courses.  A pool with a beach entry and two sun shelves will serve as the centerpiece of the amenity deck.  Poolside day beds, referred to as “pool cocoons,” will be placed around the pool.  Six private poolside cabanas are available for purchase by Omega residents and will include full bathrooms and a beverage center with a sink and refrigerator.  Day cabanas will be available on a first come, first served basis.  A pool pavilion with a bar, seating areas, and men’s and women’s restrooms will offer a gathering place.  Bar-b-que grills will be situated adjacent to the pavilion.  A second pavilion is being designed as a food area with an array of cooking appliances.  Seating areas will be available, including sunset viewing areas and a fire pit terrace.    

Omega’s 4,200 square foot rooftop terrace common area will include two hot tubs positioned next the terraces’ glass railing, allowing residents to relax in the soothing waters while enjoying breathtaking water and sunset views.  Two large firepit seating areas behind the tubs, along with an even larger fire table seating area complete with lounges, club chairs and sofas, will provide abundant seating to ensure all residents can fully enjoy the captivating ambiance.  Men’s and ladies’ restrooms, a large kitchen area for catering, and a separate bar area will complete the spectacular setting.
