You have figured out that Sarasota is, in fact, the most unique city in Florida. It has the best beaches, a cultural activity scene that is clearly punching way above its weight, and some of the most exceptional restaurants in the state. While the seasonal crowds may frustrate those of us that live here all the time, they are nowhere near the overwhelming magnitude of those that affect Florida’s larger cities. Maybe you are an artist, a ballerina or an orchestra musician, or a professional serving an interim assignment, or an ‘all work and no play’ medical figure that simply needs a space to call home. But you are on a budget. In any case, you appreciate the downtown vibe: its people, its food, and its proximity to everything that happens here. Studio apartments are a smaller and cost-effective living option versus the alternatives. Studios are a smart choice financially. They are not for everyone. Studio apartments originated in the late 1800s when artists from wealthy families lived in apartments and crafted their art there. These apartments were called "studios" because of the creative inhabitants. Artists built studios in Manhattan, creating a new way of living in the city. Now you can own a fabulous studio unit in the heart of the Rosemary District of downtown Sarasota. Here you will find a carefully considered unit with WHAT YOU NEED: A stainless steel anointed kitchen with granite countertops, ample space, and a large fully tiled shower. While your piece of THE RENAISSANCE is minimal, IT IS AN INCREDIBLE AMENITY-RICH DEVELOPMENT THAT INCLUDES: 24-hour security, a Clubroom, a well-appointed fitness center, theater screening room, two guest suites, a full catering kitchen, sharing library, business center, sitting room, conference room, aerobics room, bicycle storage, a beautiful resort-style heated pool with lap lanes and spa, a sauna, as well as a dedicated service elevator and 3 residential elevators. And you can take advantage of every bit of it at the lowest price point of all the residents. Need a little more space? Details on recorded condo approval to combine adjacent units (Details available on request). Positioned in the heart of the cultural arts district, the residence is directly across from The Bay, an emerging waterfront park offering kayak rentals, scenic walkways, proximity to the Van Wezel performing arts center, and numerous events. The completed park in total will cover 53-acres and be the product of an estimated $175-200 million investment. The first 10-acre phase of the park opened in October 2022. Phase 2 of 4, the next 14-acre $65 million development, began last summer. The Renaissance is a short drive away from the Marina, Selby Gardens, Lido Beach and St. Armand’s Circle.
