SARASOTA, Fla.— Construction is officially underway on the Pura Vida Club, the future amenity center at Gracewater at Sarasota. This groundbreaking marks a significant step toward shaping the heart of the community, designed to deliver a lifestyle focused on leisure, wellness and connection.

Eldon Johnson, one of the developers behind Gracewater, and Stephanie Sullivan, sales manager with Privada Homes, celebrated the milestone together onsite, where the vision for this resort-inspired destination is coming to life.

Scheduled to open in 2026, the Pura Vida Club will feature a collection of thoughtfully planned amenities to enhance daily living.

The four pickleball courts will bring one of the nation's fastest-growing sports directly to resident's doorsteps, encouraging an active lifestyle and social connection. Whether residents are new to the game or regular players, the courts will serve as a central hub for recreation and friendly competition.

The resort-style zero-entry pool will serve as a relaxing focal point for the community. With shaded seating and tropical landscaping, the space is designed to create a peaceful retreat close to home.

A state-of-the-art indoor fitness center will offer residents a convenient place to prioritize health and wellness. The facility will include a variety of modern equipment suited to different fitness levels.

At the center of the club will be a spacious clubhouse featuring a chef's kitchen. The space will be ideal for private gatherings, cooking demonstrations and community events.

For pet owners, a fenced dog park will give residents and their four-legged companions a dedicated area for play and exercise.

To further support community engagement, a full-time lifestyle manager will oversee resident programming and events. From seasonal celebrations to wellness classes and neighborhood socials, the manager will curate events, programs and activities tailored to resident interests, helping to foster connection and a vibrant sense of community.

"The interior of this amenity center is nothing like you've ever seen before," Sullivan said. "We are creating a space that is as stylish as it is functional, with every detail reflecting the quality behind Gracewater."

Located just minutes from downtown Sarasota and nearby Gulf Coast beaches, Gracewater at Sarasota offers a unique opportunity for modern, resort-style living within a private gated setting.
