Sarasota, FL
Royal St. Andrew
Fifty-six residences over 15 floors at Royal St Andrew, completed in 1969. A late-1960s high-rise, which makes the association's milestone inspection and structural reserve position the first thing to examine: on a building of this age and height those documents drive your real carrying cost more than anything inside the unit.

How Royal St. Andrew compares
From the county records
$787,000
Median of 5 recorded sales since October 2023, the middle eighty percent between $650,000 and $1,700,000.
12%
Of the 56 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as few homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Newest completion recorded 1969. The roll records no completions here in the last three years. Most of what trades is resale, though an absence of recent completions is not by itself proof a community is closed to new building.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Sarasota County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.

Royal St Andrew Assn Inc
Condominium associationMatched to Royal St. Andrew because: The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s register of condominium projects records this in Sarasota County at 555 South Gulfstream Avenue, Sarasota, declaring 59 units, under project number PR1S016544. The name is unique in the register statewide, and South Gulfstream Avenue is the downtown Sarasota bayfront where a 15-floor building of this age stands. The register gives its recording date as 1 January 1960, which is a placeholder rather than a date, so it is not quoted here as one. THE UNIT COUNT IS THE GATE, NOT THE NAME, and in this batch it refused more than it passed: a Sutton Place in Venice, a Marbella in Bradenton Beach, a four-unit St Armands Place against a whole key, a ninety-unit Central Park on Wood Street against a 330-home community in Bradenton, and a Bayou on Anna Maria Island.
Applicability not settled. The counts differ by three: this site says 56 residences over 15 floors completed in 1969, and the register declares 59. Not reconciled. It does not change what this page already tells you to do first, which is to read the milestone inspection and the structural reserve study for a building of that age and height.

No officer, director or manager is listed here. The state register publishes a managing entity, which is named above as an organisation, and nothing from an individual’s record is reproduced.
Board members and officers are not listed here. They change often, and their names are on the association’s own records and in the state’s corporate filings, which is where they should be read from rather than from a page that cannot keep up.

Nothing found is not the same as nothing in force. Every community in Florida with an association has governing documents; this says only that they have not been found in a public place.
The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Royal St. Andrew FAQ
What kind of homes are in Royal St. Andrew?+
