Proposed 324-unit 1899 Fruitville apartment project in downtown Sarasota falls through
A plan by Bristol Development Group for 324 apartments, called 1899 Fruitville, near Fruitville Road and Washington Boulevard is no longer moving forward. Landlords told tenant business owners the project was voided. It had partial city approvals and was reportedly close to final permitting.
What it may mean for the marketThe loss of 324 planned apartments removes expected rental supply near downtown Sarasota and leaves the cottage commercial cluster in place for now. The project is about 5 miles northeast of Siesta Dunes Beach, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

Total cost was about $100.15 million, including more than $22 million from a voter-approved surtax.

The Siesta Dunes Beach buying strategy.
If we were buying in Siesta Dunes Beach today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Siesta Dunes Beach.
A closer look at the Siesta Dunes Beach market
At a median of $657 per square foot, Siesta Dunes Beach prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
The housing stock is 442 homes built between 1957 and 2019, and 10% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.
