SARASOTA, FL -- Finishing up site work on the project, Core Development is set to begin construction on its landmark project, BLVD Sarasota.
The initial phase of construction included the demolition of the condominium’s temporary sales gallery, which was taken down two weeks ago.
With city commissioners, future residents and key stakeholders, Core Development President Kevin Daves hosted an official groundbreaking event to celebrate the commencement of this unique building design never before seen in Sarasota.

The iconic building design will serve as the entrance to the revitalized Rosemary District in downtown Sarasota. BLVD’s residences will range in size from 3,550 to 3,900 square feet and will be priced from $1.9 to $3.5 million.
“We couldn’t be more proud of the team that has worked to bring this building from concept to reality," said Daves. “The goal was to combine the comforts of single-family home-style living with the conveniences of a condominium.”

The 18-story BLVD Sarasota luxury tower will feature 47 three-bedroom residences that rival single family home sizes, two two-story penthouse residences with more than 5,200 square feet, both of which are sold; secure indoor parking, hobby rooms and other amenities.
“We put together a roster of amenities that no one has seen before in the Sarasota area,” Daves said. “That, accompanied by our residents being able to customize their layouts and finishes is what really separates us from every other building.”
Located adjacent to the Boulevard of the Arts and near the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, BLVD Sarasota residents will enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline and Sarasota Bay and will be within walking distance to all of the city’s cultural venues.
Custom home builder BCBE will offer BLVD Sarasota buyers the opportunity to customize their new homes with a finishing touches customization package. One of the Gulf Coast’s premier interior designers, Kurt Lucas, is not only working on the designs of the amenities, but is also one of the newest residents of BLVD.
“Our buyers have been impressed with the wide array of amenities within the building,” says Keith Redding, the project’s exclusive real estate broker with Key Solutions Real Estate Group. “No one else is offering an indoor driving range, a pet lawn with grooming station, a wine cellar for the storage of private collections, a fitness center, conference center and a zero-horizon, rooftop pool with sundeck and entertainment area.”
Sales for BLVD Sarasota began in mid-2017 and have continued to accelerate over the past year with nearly half of the building under contract.
