Ronto Introduces Omega, The Final Luxury High-Rise at Bonita Bay

The Ronto Group is accepting reservations at Omega, the final high-rise tower to be built within Bonita Bay.  Designed by Miami architect Robert M. Swedroe, the 26-floor Omega tower will feature 63 tower residences and four penthouses.  Pre-construction pricing starts in the mid-$2 millions.  The design conveys an out of market perspective on luxury and offers an approach to high-rise living never offered in Southwest Florida. Ronto has taken advantage of high-rise construction methods and materials that span greater distances and allow the use of more glass.  The result is larger, wider living spaces with tall windows that will offer views of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.  The living spaces, owners’ suites, and some of the guest bedrooms will open to outdoor terraces featuring 42-inch high glass railings.  The building’s exterior will have a modern look that projects bit of design flare.     

Ronto designed Omega from the inside out based on preferences expressed by potential purchasers who indicated view corridors and spacious, open floor plans with large living areas, large owner suites and secondary bedrooms, big outdoor living areas, private garages, and readily accessible storage space were critical to their living experience.  Functionality and comfort were more important than form.  Rather than wanting to downsize by moving into a residence with less square footage, the potential purchasers wanted to simplify their lives in a maintenance-free environment without sacrificing space or livability.  The Omega tower and penthouse residences offer the square footage and width found in an estate home built on 110-foot home sites.  The residences will feature ceiling heights of ten feet four-inches, or eleven feet four-inches in the penthouses, except where dropped, to create a sense of space that cannot be duplicated by remodeling existing high-rise residences.

“Our goal was to offer something that has never been offered in Southwest Florida,” said Ronto Group president Anthony Solomon.  “We were creating a new living experience for our customers, not for us, and they knew better what would work.  We listened to what they wanted and designed accordingly.  We created a three unit per floor approach that allowed the residences to be wider and more spacious.  We included air-conditioned storage outside the residences, large outdoor living spaces, huge kitchens and great rooms, tall ceilings, and king-sized guest bedrooms.  We also listened when it came to the amenities.  Functionality and amenities that would be used daily were paramount.  Our customers had as much to do with the design as we did.  Omega is the final high-rise at Bonita Bay.  We want it to be special.”

Omega will feature three tower residences per floor and two penthouse residences per floor on the building’s two uppermost floors.  The 01 and 03 tower residences will include 4,645 square feet of air-conditioned space, outdoor terrace areas totaling 1,005 square feet, and an 80-square foot private air-conditioned storage space on the same floor as the residence.  The floor plans feature four bedrooms, a den or fifth bedroom, and four-and-a-half baths.  The 02-tower residence plan offers 4,205 square feet under air, 540 square feet of outdoor terraces, and 75 square feet of private air-conditioned storage space on the same floor as the residence.  The 02-tower plan includes three bedrooms, a den, and three-and-a-half baths.  The tower plans present open-concept living areas with a spacious great room, a double-island kitchen in the 01 and 03 residences with a walk-in pantry, and a dining area.  Every tower residence comes with a private elevator lobby and a private enclosed two-car garage.  Tower residents will enjoy a roof-top amenity deck.   

The four penthouses measure 6,435 or 6,375 square feet under air plus 1,710 square feet of outdoor terrace areas with gas grills.  Each penthouse comes with a private elevator lobby, a private air-conditioned storage space, a private three-car garage, and a private roof-top amenity deck.  Each of the penthouse plans includes five bedrooms, a den, and five-and-a-half baths.  Open-concept living areas include a great room with a fireplace, a double-island kitchen in the 01 and 03 residences with a walk-in pantry, and dining spaces that open to terraces that wrap around the corner of the building.  Additional terraces are located off the owner’s bedroom and two of the guest bedrooms.

Standard finishes in the fully-completed Omega residences will reflect Ronto’s attention to creating a luxurious, exceedingly livable environment.  Flooring in the living areas will be wood, stone, or porcelain tile.  The double-island kitchens will include designer selected cabinetry, quartz or granite countertop selections, a SubZero refrigerator/freezer, Wolf gas ranges and ovens, a Miele dishwasher, and Dornbracht plumbing fixtures.  The bathrooms will also feature designer selected cabinetry, quartz or granite countertops, Dornbracht plumbing fixtures, and Toto toilets.

Omega residents will enjoy 18,000 square feet of interior amenities, including a billiards room and bar attached to a social room, a catering kitchen, a fitness center, and three guest suites.  Outside, plans call for a single-level amenity deck surrounded by glass railings, a resort-style pool and spa, a 40-foot by 40-foot pool pavilion with a bar and dining tables, a hot tub, shaded areas, a cabana party area, fire pits, and six cabanas available for purchase that include a kitchenette and bathroom.  The amenity deck will overlook a lake on one of Bonita Bay’s golf courses and offer a view of Estero Bay.
