Aster & Links, the highly anticipated mixed-use luxury apartment community by Belpointe OZ, is celebrating its grand opening, marking a transformative moment for downtown Sarasota. This landmark development replaces the former One Main Plaza, and revitalizes it into a thriving, pedestrian-friendly destination featuring world-class residential living, premier retail, and a stunning public art installation.

At the heart of the grand opening is "Touch", a striking 15-foot stainless steel sculpture by nationally acclaimed artist Zachary Oxman, whose works have been commissioned by three U.S. Presidents. The sculpture, placed at Aster's entrance, is an abstract interpretation of the human hand, symbolizing connection, curiosity, and exploration. Its open voids create shifting perspectives depending on the angle of view, reinforcing the power of human interaction. The sculpture anchors a vibrant community space where art, architecture, and urban living intersect.

Aster & Links has rapidly become Sarasota's premier address for those seeking an upscale, culture-infused lifestyle. This two-building community offers distinctive styles—Aster's light and airy sophistication with textured stone and driftwood finishes, and Links' bold, urban vibe with vibrant hues and industrial-chic details. Schedule a tour today at asterandlinks.com or call 888-680-3897.

"Aster & Links is redefining luxury rental living in Sarasota," said Brandon Lacoff, CEO of Belpointe OZ. "Not only have we created an exceptional residential and retail community, but we are also proud to contribute to Sarasota's rich artistic and cultural landscape with the incredible work of Zachary Oxman."
