Thompson Thrift has unveiled plans for the development of a 257-unit Class A multifamily community, named The Concord, in Sarasota, Florida, US.

The 8.45-acre property, which is located off the I-75 motorway and Fruitville Road, will include one, two and three-bedroom apartment homes in four-storey buildings with elevator access.

Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood-style flooring, patio, and balcony options are some of the features of the new homes.

They will also feature full-size washers and dryers, as well as detached garages.

Alexa-compatible smart home packages and instant-on internet access will also be available.

Thompson plans to begin construction this month and welcome residents into the community in late 2024.

The Concord will also include a fully equipped fitness centre, outdoor entertainment and community grilling area, resort-style heated swimming pool, dog and pet spa, 24-hour social hub, and work-from-home focus suites. 

Other features comprise an observation deck overlooking the Celery Fields trail to the south and an open-air area with a firepit, shaded structure, and soft seating.

Additionally, the indoor amenity space will include a chef's kitchen for residents to conduct parties.

Thompson Residential's managing partner Josh Purvis said: “The Sarasota multifamily market has experienced some of the top apartment demand in the country.

“We believe The Concord's combination of location, high-end finishes and unique amenities will be readily embraced by residents looking for a sophisticated living experience in the heart of this dynamic market.”
