    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 8 miles northwest of Rivo Lakes, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

    Sarasota Memorial plans outpatient cancer center expansion in Venice, targeted for 2028

    Sarasota Memorial plans an outpatient cancer center in Venice expanding the Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute, which opened in 2020. The first floor would hold radiation oncology, clinics, infusion and imaging, with a shelled second floor and a third floor for endoscopy and gastroenterology. Preliminary work has begun and the build-out is planned for 2028, pending permits.

    What it may mean for the marketAdded oncology and outpatient capacity in Venice would improve healthcare access and create medical jobs in south Sarasota County. The project is about 11 miles south of Rivo Lakes, elsewhere in Sarasota County.

    Sarasota County opens new $100 million administration building at 1 Apex Road

    Sarasota County moved operations into a 121,160 square foot administration building at 1 Apex Road off I-75. It replaces the former building on Ringling Boulevard downtown, which was sold to a developer for about $25 million. Total cost was about $100.15 million, including more than $22 million from a voter-approved surtax.

    What it may mean for the marketRelocating county services to the I-75 corridor shifts daily government traffic away from downtown and frees the Ringling Boulevard site for redevelopment. The site is about 6 miles north of Rivo Lakes.

If we were buying in Rivo Lakes today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Rivo Lakes.

A closer look at the Rivo Lakes market

At a median of $312 per square foot, Rivo Lakes 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 97 homes built between 2018 and 2023, and 84% of parcels are homesteaded — the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll.
