Sand Key Condo Building Guide

About Ultimar

Three luxury towers on the Sand Key Gulf front — the island's benchmark for amenities, from tennis courts to putting greens.

The three towers of Ultimar define luxury on Sand Key. Built as a unified resort-style community on the Gulf, the complex is famous locally for the depth of its amenity package — multiple pools, tennis and sport courts, putting greens, fitness and social rooms — all wrapped in manicured grounds along the beach.

Residences are large, many with double-exposure views taking in both Gulf and Intracoastal. Ultimar attracts the island's most amenity-driven luxury buyers, and its resale market benefits from a reputation that has held for decades.

Flood zone and evacuation level at Ultimar

FEMA flood zone
  • Zone AE: 1% annual chance flood area, base flood elevation 9 ft (NAVD 88)
  • Shaded Zone X: 0.2% annual chance flood area
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.
