Saravela buyers will gain tremendous benefits at TPC Prestancia in Sarasota, while Heritage members nationwide gain access to preferred pricing at Saravela
(SARASOTA) – GSP Development, a Chicago-based real estate firm developing the Saravela luxury condominium tower in Sarasota, today announced a groundbreaking partnership with Virginia-based Heritage Golf Group that will provide a host of tremendous benefits to Saravela buyers, including a full year of complimentary sports membership to the vibrant TPC Prestancia, a private golf and country club in Sarasota. Likewise, members of Heritage Golf will gain access to preferred pricing and selection for residences at Saravela.
Signed this year, the partnership forges a new alliance between two premier organizations and provides wonderful new additions to the luxury lifestyle that each organization brings to residents of the Sarasota region.
“Interest among buyers is already surging at Saravela, and we are thrilled to begin offering this extraordinary new value to our future residents,” said Larry Debb, Founder and President of GSP Development. “Saravela is designed to provide a lifestyle unlike any other in Sarasota, and these new benefits through Heritage Golf Group significantly extend those amenities for our buyers. This is truly a win-win arrangement with Heritage Golf, and we are honored to partner with them on this innovative project.”
Saravel is a first-of-its-kind offering in Sarasota. Located in the heart of Downtown Sarasota, it will redefine downtown living with 282 luxury condominiums, including 11 townhomes, prime retail space, and resort-style amenities — all while offering owners the unique ability to offer their residences for rent on a short-term basis via a professional, centralized management program. Saravelaoffers a truly differentiated ownership experience and a level of flexibility not found elsewhere in the market.
Saravela will now be the first luxury condominium project in the region to expand its already exceptional lifestyle and amenities by also offering access to premier country club lifestyle and amenities in the surrounding area.

With this partnership, buyers of condominiums at Saravela will have access to a complimentary one-year preview sports membership at TPC Prestancia that includes access to dining, social events to enjoy and meet others and an expansive wellness complex that will provide access to over 20 racquet sport courts, including pickleball and padel, a swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, locker rooms, wellness programming — with no initiation or monthly dues during that year. At the conclusion of the free preview sports membership, Saravela owners will have the option to continue with a monthly membership without the cost of an initiation fee, or upgrade to a Golf membership by paying the initiation fee difference between the sports and golf memberships.
The Sports Club at TPC Prestancia, formerly known as the Sarasota Sports Club, is a recent addition to TPC Prestancia’s amenity offerings. Located adjacent to the Club off Palmer Ranch Parkway and Beneva Road, the complex was acquired by Heritage Golf Group in July 2025 and officially merged with TPC Prestancia. Heritage has since launched a major, multi-million-dollar, top-to-bottom renovation of the Sports Club that will introduce new tennis, bocce, pickleball, and padel courts, enhanced pool facilities, expanded social programming, and a fully renovated clubhouse, restaurant, and bar.
In addition to TPC Prestancia, Herndon, Va.-based Heritage Golf Group now owns and operates nearly 50 premier golf and lifestyle clubs in 14 U.S. states. In Florida, that includes properties such as Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club, TPC Prestancia, The Club at Cheval in Tampa, Deercreek Country Club in Jacksonville, The Club at Boca Pointe in Boca Raton and more.
Members of Heritage Golf properties nationwide will now have special access to choose residences at Saravela with preferred pricing and selection.
“Saravela and Heritage Golf Group are a strong pairing that brings together exceptional lifestyle benefits at two outstanding properties,” said Jim Oliver, Chief Operating Officer at Heritage Golf Group. “We’re excited to align with Saravela and introduce our 75,000-plus members to the opportunity to own in Sarasota. Many of our members have expressed interest in second homes in Heritage markets that offer rental flexibility, and this partnership creates a seamless connection between an elevated residential experience and the club lifestyle they already value.”
When complete, Saravela will occupy a premier location along North Tamiami Trail between 4th Street and 5th Street in the heart of Downtown Sarasota, just steps from the area’s finest restaurants, shops, and entertainment. Earlier this year, a sales and presentation gallery opened for Saravela, led by Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.
