Historic Development - Fall 2013

The single most impactful project in recent Sarasota/Manatee history is under construction as we speak.  The 880,000 square foot mall at I-75 and University Parkway with its many quality national retailers will transform our area.  Yes, some local retailers may relocate to this sexy new mall and some we would like to see downtown, on St. Armand’s or in Westfield Mall will choose the new mall.  They will be missed in the specific areas but building our community is not about each area getting a bigger piece of the pie; it’s about making a better pie and this project will ultimately help our entire community.
