Citrus Square

The 35,000 SF three-story, authentically-detailed building houses boutiques, restaurants, and residences. The street facades are enlivened through the use of large windows, French doors with balconies, and stone moldings. Staggered facades create the illusion of multiple buildings while retail spaces with wooden storefronts under multi-colored canvas awnings complement the sidewalk experience.

NOTABLE
Excellence Award, Low-rise Development, Multi-Housing News

Withthe project, the team lead a successful effort with the City to specify energy-efficient LED street lights, a first for the City of Sarasota. Sustainable features include the LED streetlights, an on-site underground water retention area, high performance air conditioning and appliances, highly reflective roofing, and insulated windows and doors.

The result is a vibrant destination that not only extends the Sarasota downtown area but transforms Gillespie Park and the Rosemary District.
