Luxury and innovation have always been at the heart of Downtown Sarasota. As the vibrant epicenter of Florida’s Cultural Coast, this dynamic urban community is celebrated for its refined blend of culinary, performing, and natural arts. When R&P Holdings identified a prime location surrounded by the best of Downtown Sarasota, they recognized a rare opportunity to craft something truly extraordinary. With a deep respect for the location’s potential, they took the lead in assembling a world-class team to bring Adagio Sarasota to life.
“It’s not often that a property as unique as this comes along in Florida,” said Mike Hoyt, Senior Vice President of The Lutgert Companies. “The walkable location and stunning views called for a design that truly reflects the exceptional nature of the site.” He added, “With this region in such high demand, we jumped at the chance to work with Barron Collier Companies and R&P Holdings to put together a dream team. We’re thrilled to have such a vast array of experienced professionals bringing something special to the Sarasota market.” Now, let’s meet the visionary team behind this extraordinary new masterpiece.

Barron Collier Companies
Barron Collier Companies boasts a deep-rooted history in Southwest Florida, dating back to 1911 when its founder brought the area’s first telephone service, railroad, and bus company to life. Over the years, the firm has grown into one of the region’s largest and most diversified enterprises. In addition to its partnership on Mercato, Barron Collier Companies developed the luxury condos at Genova and the expansive 5,000 acre town of Ave Maria, Addison Place Apartments, Hawksridge, and Fronterra.

Kobi Karp Architecture
The Lutgert Companies have enlisted Kobi Karp Architecture, a Miami-based firm with over 20 years of experience, to design the tower. Known for its innovative and creative solutions, Kobi Karp has worked with prestigious clients worldwide in hospitality, retail, and high-rise residential projects. The firm has designed over $36 billion in commercial, residential, and multifamily properties across the Caribbean, Far East, Black Sea, Gulf, and Middle East.

“Kobi Karp is widely acclaimed for his visionary designs, making him the perfect choice for a location as vibrant and culturally rich as Downtown Sarasota,” said Hoyt. “Our goal for this condo is to express Sarasota’s dynamic artistic energy with its breathtaking natural beauty. Kobi’s approach to design embodies that vision, making him the ideal partner to bring this concept to life.”
Downtown Sarasota Living Reaches a New Crescendo
With decades of collaboration and extensive experience in real estate, these industry leaders are poised to create a true masterpiece, aptly named Adagio Sarasota. The name Adagio Sarasota was chosen deliberately, inspired by both the serene beauty of its surroundings and the graceful, timeless elegance of the design. “Adagio” is a musical term that signifies a slow, flowing tempo—suggesting a sense of calm, relaxation, and sophistication.
In Sarasota, known for its picturesque waterfront, cultural vibrancy, and natural splendor, Adagio evokes a lifestyle of tranquil luxury and effortless elegance. The name reflects a harmonious balance between the city’s dynamic arts scene and its serene coastal environment, creating a space where residents can enjoy both the energy of the city and the peaceful rhythm of waterfront living.
