Mixed Use Complex Will House Sarasota Opera Artists.
Rosemary Square, a new mixed-use complex on Boulevard of the Arts between Central and Lemon Avenues broke ground Friday, August 7, 2015. Developed by Dr. Mark Kauffman and partners, Rosemary Square will include retail and office space, and thirty condominium units which were purchased by Sarasota Opera as artists housing.
Sarasota Opera purchased 30 units (16 three-bedroom, 8 two-bedroom, and 6 one-bedroom apartments) in the new development to house artists and members of the artistic staff during the company’s fall and winter season. This new building will allow the company to increase its available housing from 43 to 70 company members. In May 2015, Sarasota Opera sold its 16 unit Ringling Terrace Apartments.
