Build-New Opportunity Near Downtown Sarasota

This 10,125 sq ft lot is primed for redevelopment in a rapidly appreciating pocket just east of downtown. The existing structure is mold-infested and slated for demolition, leaving a clean slate for a new single-family build or potential lot split (buyer to verify with the city).

Power and water are already on site, gas is available nearby, and the property sits outside the flood zone with no HOA restrictions — making it ideal for a modern infill project or luxury spec home.

🛠️ Rehab / Build Scope

• Demolish existing structure and clear lot
• Design new single-family home to fit 10,125 sf parcel (potential for 2-unit configuration)
• Verify lot split and density options with City of Sarasota
