Plans for a mixed-use development at 1225 Second Street show parking structure and drop-off ingress and egress off Second Street. The DRC, comprised of representatives of numerous city departments, suggested vehicle access be moved to the alley between Second Street and Fruitville Road in order to minimize pedestrian conflicts. The alley is used by the townhomes to the rear for access to individual garages, and by the Embassy Suites for deliveries, waste pickup and other service vehicles.Ĭhris Gallagher of Hoyt Architects in Sarasota told the DRC that moving vehicle access off Second Street and onto a dead-end alley would require a U-turns off Cocoanut Avenue and create a non-inviting entry to the hotel. The plans show one two-way and one one-way curb cuts off Second Street to service both the hotel and the residential. The minimum required spaces for the project is 73.Īmid discussions about landscaping, utilities, engineering and fire safety requirements, the sticking point between the development and the DRC was access to and from the parking structure and hotel drop-off. The residential tower will top out at 18 stories and the hotel 10, including a parking garage beneath with 104 parking spaces. Plans show the condos at 1,938 square feet facing the bay and 1,704 square feet facing the rear alley and over a row of existing townhomes toward Fruitville Road. To conform to the zoning code, the residential tower will be adjacent to the Embassy Suites above the hotel which will cover all three parcels, all perched above a parking structure. The property is zoned Downtown Bayfront on the west - the former Palm Apartments - and the parcels to the east Downtown Core. Now proposed is a mixed-use building of condominiums and a hotel. The condo tower is immediately adjacent to the Embassy Suites hotel. The design by Hoyt Architects for 1225 Second Street shows nine floors of condominiums above 10 stories of hotel and parking structure.
“That project didn't go forward and so our client, the applicant, picked up that property as well, which then changed the entire project.” “We were proceeding on this project on 12 Second Street on its own, and then the property to the east became available,” development consultant Joel Freedman told a Development Review Committee panel. Since then, the developer acquired the vacant lot next door, which in 2019 was announced as The Beacon, a development of five luxury condos priced from $2.3 million to $2.7 million, with a penthouse price to be determined. That paved the way for M2RE Partners’ principal Mike Hersom to begin planning a project on the site of the structure built in 1925 and an office building next door built in 1996. 1, the commission overturned a Historic Preservation Board denial to raze the nearly century-old Palm Apartments building. With the addition of a vacant lot next door, the project at 1225, 12 Second Street is now proposed to be an 18-unit condominium and 109-room hotel mixed-use development, steps away from Tamiami Trail. The fashionable neighbourhoods of Shoreditch and Hoxton are also close by, taking you to Brick Lane, Columbia Road flower market, designer shopping at Spitalfields and Boxpark pop-up mall with its tasty street food.In the two-plus months since M2RE Partners won approval from the Sarasota City Commission to demolish a building on Second Street next to the Embassy Suites for an for an unannounced project, the scope of the development has grown. Katherine’s Dock and Wilton’s Music Hall are a few minutes’ walk away, and The Shard, Borough Market and Tate Modern art gallery lie across the river. Step outside and you’re spoiled for choice.
