🏖️ St. Regis Resort Soars—But Longboat’s Parking Dilemma Could Impact Property Values

 

Hi neighbors, it’s Michael here with your Longboat Key check-in!

The St. Regis just had an incredible first year—think sold-out summer, $2,000 average room rates, and now the prestigious AAA 5-Diamond rating. It’s a huge win for local tourism and high-end development.

But there’s a new challenge: parking.

With overflow already tapping into town and condo lots, developer Chuck Whittall has proposed a 2-story parking garage—under 30 feet tall, surrounded by greenery, and possibly featuring car lifts.

🛑 Concern: Some locals feel this could impact Longboat’s island charm.
✅ Pro: A smart garage supports tourism without sacrificing real estate flow.

🏘️ If you’re a nearby condo owner or future buyer, this affects:
● Guest experience
● Resale appeal
● Future zoning and infrastructure decisions
