Sand Key Condo Building Guide

About The Grande on Sand Key

Resort-style towers beside Sand Key Park — newer construction, big amenity decks, and the island's most park-adjacent address.

The Grande on Sand Key sits at the island's north end beside the 65-acre Sand Key Park, giving residents both Gulf access and one of Pinellas County's best green spaces as a front yard. Its towers are among the newer builds on Sand Key, with contemporary floor plans and a resort-scale amenity deck.

The location is a connector's dream: over the small bridge into Clearwater Beach in minutes, mainland shopping just across the Belleair causeway corridor, and the park's beach, trails, and dog park in between. For buyers ranking both quiet and convenience, The Grande usually makes the shortlist.

Morning runs through Sand Key Park, afternoons on the amenity deck, and Clearwater Beach's restaurants close enough that a dinner reservation doesn't require planning. The park buffer keeps the north end feeling open in every season.

Before you buy here

Newer Sand Key buildings typically show cleaner inspection files, which is reflected in pricing. We'll help you weigh that premium against older Gulf-front alternatives so the trade-off is a decision, not a default. For the framework, read our Condo Buyer's Guide and Flood Zones 101.

Flood zone and evacuation level at The Grande on Sand Key

FEMA flood zone
  • Zone AE: 1% annual chance flood area, base flood elevation 9 ft (NAVD 88); covers the parcel
Hurricane evacuation
Level A

Part or all of this property's land is in FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. Lenders making federally backed mortgages require flood insurance on buildings in that area. Read Flood Zones 101 for what that means for a purchase.

Flood zones are FEMA's for the land parcel (for a condo, the whole complex), from the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map for Pinellas County (August 24, 2021, with later FEMA revisions) as published by Pinellas County, checked against FEMA's national flood layer. Zones touching under 1% of the parcel are left out. Flood insurance is rated on the building's own zone and elevation, which an elevation certificate confirms. Evacuation level is from the Pinellas County Property Appraiser record and matches Pinellas County Emergency Management's Know Your Zone map.
