Aster & Links, the highly anticipated mixed-use luxury apartment community by Belpointe OZ, is celebrating its grand opening, marking a transformative moment for downtown Sarasota.
At the heart of the grand opening is “Touch”, a striking 15-foot stainless steel sculpture by nationally acclaimed artist Zachary Oxman, whose works have been commissioned by three U.S. Presidents. The sculpture, placed at Aster’s entrance, is an abstract interpretation of the human hand, symbolizing connection, curiosity, and exploration. Its open voids create shifting perspectives depending on the angle of view, reinforcing the power of human interaction. The sculpture anchors a vibrant community space where art, architecture, and urban living intersect.
Aster & Links has rapidly become Sarasota’s premier address for those seeking an upscale, culture-infused lifestyle. This two-building community offers distinctive styles—Aster’s light and airy sophistication with textured stone and driftwood finishes, and Links’ bold, urban vibe with vibrant hues and industrial-chic details.
“Aster & Links is redefining luxury rental living in Sarasota,” said Brandon Lacoff, CEO of Belpointe OZ. “Not only have we created an exceptional residential and retail community, but we are also proud to contribute to Sarasota’s rich artistic and cultural landscape with the incredible work of Zachary Oxman.”
Aster & Links offers spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, many featuring dens or powder rooms perfect for entertaining. Two-level penthouses provide soaring ceilings, grand townhome-style layouts, and premium appliance packages.
Apartment features include European-style kitchens with quartz countertops, Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliances, and soft-close cabinetry. Smart home technology, including keyless entry and smart thermostats. Custom Elfa closet systems for optimal storage, full-size washers and dryers in every home, private outdoor terraces in select units, expanding living space.
Residents enjoy an array of thoughtfully designed amenities that rival high-end resorts, including heated saltwater pools in lush courtyards, 24/7 fitness center with free weights, yoga, and spin studios, rooftop Sky Lounges with grilling areas and private dining spaces, resident clubroom with billiards, shuffleboard, and gaming tables and co-working spaces with private offices.
Adding to the convenience, Aster & Links features approximately 60,000 square feet of curated retail, including Sprouts Farmers Market, OfKors Cafe, Isabel Boutique, ServisFirst Bank, and SkinSpirit, with more retailers coming soon.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Sarasota, Aster & Links places resident’s steps from top dining, shopping, and entertainment options, as well as cultural institutions like the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, The Ringling Museum, and Sarasota Opera House. With award-winning beaches just minutes away and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport less than five miles from home, residents enjoy both convenience and leisure in equal measures.
Aster & Links is more than just a luxury community, it’s a dynamic addition to Sarasota’s evolving cultural and urban landscape.
