SeaFlower is more than just another development on Florida’s West Coast; it’s a carefully crafted coastal village with a story that blends history, community, and innovation. Transforming 1,175 acres of former agricultural land into a vibrant, walkable community, SeaFlower aims to redefine coastal living in West Bradenton. Steeped in heritage and designed for the future, SeaFlower pays homage to its past while introducing a fresh vision of life by the water.
Shaped by Agricultural Heritage
The history of SeaFlower begins with the land itself. For over 85 years, the property was owned and farmed by the Manatee Fruit Company, making it a vital part of the region’s agricultural legacy. The farm once produced flowers, giving the community its fitting name. Now, as SeaFlower emerges as a thoughtfully designed coastal village, it honors this legacy by creating a place that balances its historical roots with a modern vision for the future.
Inspired by old Florida coastal towns, SeaFlower’s design reflects the charm and character of the past, with welcoming front porches, vibrant streetscapes, and coastal architecture. The development team collaborated closely with local historians and community members to ensure that SeaFlower maintains a sense of place, celebrating its past while looking ahead to a brighter future.
A Vision for Modern Coastal Living
SeaFlower’s vision goes beyond its historical foundations. The community is being developed as a mixed-use, walkable coastal village that combines residential neighborhoods, commercial spaces, and green areas to create a self-contained community that feels vibrant and connected. With 4,000 residential units, including townhomes, villas, and single-family residences and 600 apartment units, SeaFlower offers a diverse mix of housing options designed for people at every stage of life.
But SeaFlower is not just a place to live—it’s a place to experience life. The project will feature office and retail space, hotels, and a Village Center that serves as the heart of the community. This Main Street area will have a Publix, and be a hub for dining, shopping, and socializing, bringing people together to enjoy the best of coastal living.
Connecting Past and Present
Living at SeaFlower means being part of a community that is as rooted in its past as it is inspired by the future. The streets are uniquely designed to encourage slower traffic and pedestrian movement, where golf carts, bikes and walking are the preferred way to get around. With multi-modal trails winding throughout the development, residents can easily access parks, pocket green spaces, the Village Cener for shopping and dining, and the The Garden Club on Lake Flores, which will feature a a residents’ clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, event lawn and meeting spaces for community events.
For families, the pedestrian-friendly streets and numerous parks create a welcoming environment for children to explore. For professionals and active retirees, the connectivity of the community offers easy access to nearby office spaces, retail areas, and cultural amenities. SeaFlower is a place where the rhythms of daily life are woven into the fabric of the community, allowing residents to slow down and enjoy the small moments that matter most.
A Simply Charming Life
Imagine starting your day with a morning jog along the community’s multi-modal trail, where you pass by sparkling lakes and lush native landscaping. After breakfast on your welcoming front porch, you might stroll down to the Village Center to meet friends for lunch at a local café.
Midday, you could head over to The Garden Club for a quick workout or a swim in the resort-style pool. And in the evening? Meet up with neighbors for a sunset picnic at one of the pocket parks or head out for dinner at a local restaurant in the Village Center.
As SeaFlower grows, it will continue to build on its legacy of creating a community that is connected, vibrant, and thoughtfully designed. The development’s focus on preserving natural spaces, integrating multi-modal trails, and providing diverse housing options will set a new standard for coastal living in Southwest Florida. By blending history with innovation, SeaFlower is redefining what it means to live well by the water.
