This property, located in the heart of downtown Sarasota, boasts a view from every unit. The developer of this eco-friendly building is Dr. Harvey Kaltsas, well-known here as an acupuncturist and alternative-medicine physician. Designed to promote energy efficiency and "healthy" building living, EcoInteriors design firm and W.G. Mills construction teamed up to create this condominium. Amenities include a shared penthouse on one level, a 59-foot lap pool (bromine system, not chlorine) and hurricane-code glass panels throughout. There are also two gyms, two outdoor landscape designs, nearly 10-foot ceilings in units and residential levels that feature over 3,500 square feet of living space. Each unit has a private elevator entrance for each level, and exclusive air-conditioning units remove bacteria and toxins from the building. Prices start at $550,000 in 2010.
