Rare Investment Opportunity in Downtown Sarasotas Development Wave! Four contiguous lots across two parcels totaling approximately 0.44 acres (19,200 SF) at 1721 & 1743 8th Street, located in the heart of one of downtown Sarasotas most exciting transformation zones. This restored vintage home with an effective year built of 2000 sits in a rapidly evolving neighborhood becoming one of the citys most desirable addresses. Just steps from the beloved 10 acre Gillespie Park, featuring grand oaks, tennis and basketball courts, scenic pond, dog park, fitness trail, and walking paths.
Enjoy walking distance to Main Streets shops, galleries, and restaurants, and only 0.7 miles to Sarasotas waterfront and The Bay, the citys new 53 acre signature park. The property lies within an Opportunity Zone with no HOA and no deed restrictions, offering exceptional flexibility for investors and developers. Close to the downtown business district and minutes from the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe, surrounded by Sarasotas vibrant cultural and commercial scene.
Prime Development Potential: Build 46 residential units in this rapidly appreciating neighborhood where new projects are transforming the landscape, ideal for townhomes, multi family residences, or custom urban homes.
