Situated just moments from downtown Sarasota and offering the serenity of private island living, Bird Key is one of the region’s most exclusive addresses. At Perrone Construction, we bring over four decades of experience building custom waterfront homes that reflect the sophistication, security, and prestige that define life on Bird Key.
Our approach to luxury is never one-size-fits-all. Every residence we craft is a personal statement, designed around our client’s lifestyle and the unique characteristics of the property itself.

OUR CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
Our custom home construction process on Bird Key has been refined to deliver seamless execution. We combine vision, craftsmanship, and coastal expertise from acquisition through to final delivery.
Acquisition
Finding the right property on Bird Key requires deep local knowledge. Whether you’ve already secured a lot or are exploring your options, we provide expert insight into what makes each parcel unique. From navigable canal frontage to bayfront exposure, we help you evaluate real estate through the lens of long-term value and buildability.
Assessment
We begin every project with a comprehensive site evaluation, factoring in elevation, views, buildable area, and utility infrastructure. Our team assesses how the property supports your architectural goals and ensures a smooth path forward. Bird Key’s zoning, FEMA requirements, and lot layouts are familiar territory, allowing us to advise with clarity and confidence.
Design
We collaborate with Sarasota’s most talented architects and design firms to develop a home that is both architecturally striking and functionally elegant. View corridors, natural light, privacy, and indoor-outdoor living are all carefully considered to create a residence that feels entirely at home on the island and entirely unique to you.
Construction
With over 40 years of experience building luxury homes on Sarasota’s waterfront, we’ve developed proprietary systems that ensure efficiency, accountability, and flawless quality. Every phase, from structural foundation to interior finish, is overseen by seasoned construction managers committed to excellence. We use materials and methods suited to Bird Key’s coastal climate to ensure your home is as enduring as it is beautiful.
Our Home Owners Say
“I have been working with Rich Perrone and Perrone Construction since 1983. His eye for detail, superior quality of construction and the ability to deliver a beautiful home on time and within budget all while keeping the client confident and happy have put Perrone Construction at the top of the list of Sarasota’s luxury custom builders. In addition to the many homes he has built for my clients he has built one home for me personally and remodeled another. I would not hesitate to recommend Perrone Construction.”
