Waterside Place at Lakewood Ranch Announces Three New Tenants; More Business Openings
Cileone Jewelers, Platinum Palm Properties, and Williams Parker Law Firm join growing roster of businesses
Lakewood Ranch, the nation’s best-selling master-planned community for all ages, recently announced three new tenants for its newest town center, the 36-acre Waterside Place. The retail, services, dining, and entertainment destination will add Cileone Jewelers, Platinum Palm Properties, and Williams Parker Law Firm.
- Cileone Jewelers, formerly of Philadelphia, will make Waterside Place its new home. Specializing in estate and antique jewelry, they will also feature modern pieces, as well as bridal and custom. Additionally, they will offer pre-owned high-end watches, such as Rolex and Patek, and some luxury brands, such as Tiffany, Yurman, and Cartier. They hope to open by the beginning of 2023.
- Platinum Palm Properties will open its first official office as a brokerage in January of 2023. Currently a team under Keller Williams (since 2017), the team of more than 30 agents will operate their own independent location in Waterside Place, which they chose for its culture and architecture.
- Williams Parker, Sarasota’s largest and oldest law firm, will open its new office in Waterside Place in spring of 2023. The firm’s new, expanded office will enable its lawyers and professionals to better serve the needs of clients located in Lakewood Ranch, along the I-75 business corridor, and further east.
The new businesses will join the recently opened O&A Coffee Supply, CROP Juice, and Bay Area Aesthetics. Also open and welcoming customers are Korê Steakhouse and cocktail lounge, Good Liquid Brewing company, 3Form Fitness, Kilwins, Paint Nail Bar, Body Bar Pilates, Lakewood Ranch Medical Group, and Smith Law.
Previously announced tenants include Deep Lagoon Seafood & Oyster House, Florida Provisions Co., a retail and bar concept; Monkee’s, an upscale women’s boutique; Tim’s Wine Market, M/I Homes, Marmalade Waterside Boutique, John Cannon Homes Design Center, Integrity Sound, Capstan Financial, Mexican-American restaurant and tequileria Agave Bandido, Italian restaurant Osteria 500, Shore Rejuvenation Day Spa, Modish Salon, The Yoga Shack, Man Cave for Men, Duck Donuts, Forked at Waterside, and Good Liquid Distillery.
“Waterside Place has the good fortune of being able to attract the types and diversity of tenants that were targeted from the inception of the project,” said Kirk Boylston, president of Lakewood Ranch Commercial. “We wanted local and regional, non-national tenants with the quality, look, feel, and personal touches of an owner who is actively involved with their business. It is just a different atmosphere at Waterside Place, it truly seems like a community of individuals who love to introduce their restaurants, shops, and services to their customers with a great sense of pride. Our office tenants are of similar quality, every one of them are among the best in the service sector they represent.”
Recently named the “Best Lifestyle Program in the U.S.” by the National Association of Homebuilders, Waterside Place is already active with festivals, music, and sporting activities. It is home to the Farmers’ Market at Lakewood Ranch, with more than 90 vendors offering organic produce, baked goods, pet products, and prepared food, etc. Ranch Nite Wednesdays, “your favorite weeknight hangout,” will start back from its summer hiatus on Oct. 5, and will run every Wednesday through May 31. The event, held from 6-9 p.m., features food trucks, live music from local artists, a weekly night market with rotating vendors, a vintage mobile bar hosted by Cornerstone and Co., and the second largest recreational cornhole league in the nation, hosted by MVP Sports & Social.

About Waterside Place
Waterside Place serves as the heart of Waterside – Lakewood Ranch’s first Sarasota village – and offers an elevated community experience that extends beyond that of a traditional town center. Situated on a 36-acre peninsula overlooking the mile-long Kingfisher Lake, the development blends entertainment with 115,000 square feet of unique in-line and freestanding commercial, retail and office space; diverse dining options; an eight-acre park; miles of nature trails; communal “pop-up” spaces, a water splash park, and more.
Waterside Village will feature more than 5,000 for-sale and rental homes in a variety of neighborhoods ranging from $400k to over $2M. All neighborhoods are connected to Waterside Place via trails and many homes will benefit from water taxis to the town center. To date, over 1,400 homes have been sold or leased in Waterside’s Shoreview, Lakehouse Cove, The Adley, Botanic, and Grande Living neighborhoods.

LAKEWOOD RANCH CELEBRATES 5TH YEAR AS BEST-SELLING ALL-AGES COMMUNITY IN U.S.
LAKEWOOD RANCH CELEBRATES 5TH YEAR AS BEST-SELLING ALL-AGES COMMUNITY IN U.S.
Lakewood Ranch is once again the top-selling multi-generational community in the nation with 1,026 sales so far this year, according to RCLCO’s semiannual Top 50 Master-Planned Communities report. The Villages active-adult community in Central Florida was first place overall with an estimated 1,500 sales year to date and Silverado in Dallas came in a distant third place with 599 sales. Florida leads the nation in MPC performance, representing 36% of all sales among ranked communities; Texas was close behind with 34%.
Lakewood Ranch has been a perennial top performer because it embodies the principles of a strong community. “With each new phase we continue to integrate our hallmark features including parks, trails, schools, shopping, dining, job centers, healthcare, and day-to-day conveniences,” said Laura Cole, Senior Vice President of Lakewood Ranch. “Our multigenerational appeal and lifestyle offerings continue to be a strong draw and we anticipate that buyers who have been sidelined in the inventory crunch will reemerge as conditions stabilize a bit and as supply-chain pressures on builders ease,” she added.
The Ranch’s location and regional attractions are also a major driver of sales. The Sarasota-Bradenton area has continued to rank at the top of “where to live” lists due to the extremely high quality of life, a dynamic downtown, vast arts offerings, excellent beaches, winning sports teams, top-rated schools, and top-notch health care offerings. “Southwest Florida is one of the most desirable relocation markets in the country,” remarked Cole, “and Lakewood Ranch offers newcomers an incredible lifestyle and strong sense of community within it.”
