Sarasota – November 06, 2026 -- FirstService Residential will provide full-service property management and lifestyle and amenities management for Mira Mar Sarasota, a 70-residence luxury development with pricing starting in the high $3 million range.
Developer Seaward Development selected the company, a subsidiary of FirstService Corporation (NASDAQ and TSX: FSV). Patrick DiPinto, principal at Seaward Development, said the choice rested on FirstService Residential managing more luxury condominium towers than any other company in North America.
Mira Mar spans two 18-story towers and restores a 1922 landmark
The development sits on South Palm Avenue in downtown Sarasota. It pairs contemporary waterfront living with the restoration and preservation of the historic Mira Mar building, originally established in 1922. Residences range from approximately 3,200 to 6,000 square feet.
Amenities include a 24-hour concierge, a resort-style pool with cabanas, a 70-foot lap pool, a golf simulator and putting green, guest suites and the Sky Speakeasy Lounge with bay views.
Seven FirstService-managed communities earn Forbes Travel Guide luxury designation
Seven communities managed by FirstService Residential received Forbes Travel Guide's inaugural VERIFIED Luxury Residences designation, more than half of the properties on the inaugural list. The designation evaluates service culture, operational practices and service delivery against independently verified criteria.
FirstService Residential also worked with ATELIER CX, the consulting division of Forbes Travel Guide, to develop hospitality-focused service standards and training. These now form a component of the company's proprietary The High-Rise Standard.
Management team to work with Seaward from the earliest stages
Jake Howse, business development director at FirstService Residential, said the team will deliver hospitality-inspired service, operational excellence and lifestyle programming at the property. The company will work with Seaward Development from the community's earliest stages and throughout its long-term operation.
