Sales have launched for a residential resort community planned for 13000 Fishery Road in Placida, just outside of Gasparilla Island in the Village of Boca Grande, which has been officially named Banyan Gasparilla Sound.

The project’s name is inspired by its location on the deep-water harbor and proximity to the legendary Banyan Street of Boca Grande. Large banyan trees will adorn Banyan Gasparilla Sound to create awe-inspiring canopies, capturing the soft ocean breeze and tranquility of a tropical oasis. A confluence of lush landscapes, coastal influence, and natural elements will inspire the senses with breathtaking vistas and water frontage on all sides of the peninsula. All homes will enjoy spectacular vistas and unobstructed views of the crystal blue bay waterfront. Some of the residential features include golf carts as the preferred transportation method, electric car charging stations, a secured entrance for the peace of mind to come and go leisurely between travel, and much more.
