New Rosemary District Mixed-Use Development, “Zahrada,” Announced
Press Release – February, 2017
SARASOTA, Fla. – Rosemary District Development, LLC, a subsidiary of DBD Group MEI, announces plans for a modern, mixed-use development in the bustling, historic Rosemary District. “Zahrada” offers six individual, three-story condominium residences with up to 3,542 square feet, situated over six retail/office suites set within a lush, tropical enclave. This unique development will be located at 1542 4th Street, a mere few blocks from the liveliness and glamour of downtown Sarasota and the alluring aquamarine waters of Sarasota Bay. Designed by Sarasota’s own award-winning architects, Halflants + Pichette, Zahrada’s style is unprecedented in this area. Each luxurious residence includes a private, tropical pool terrace with palms and plants leading to a detached, elevated guest suite. Residents will feel at one with the delightful outdoors, as viewing decks are located off of every living area and walls of glass give way to an intimate courtyard garden setting and stunning City views.
The three-story, four-bedroom Zahrada residences are meticulously designed to let natural light flow freely throughout all floors. “What makes this project unique is its linear spatial flow, with approximately 100 feet of visibility from the kitchen straight through to the terrace,” said architect Michael Halflants.
Also unique is the detached guest suite, which has a myriad of uses from hosting out-of-town guests, to a fantastic home office space, or tranquil retreat. Zahrada dream homes include many premium interior features that come standard, such as modern European style cabinetry, plumbing and lighting systems, and quartz countertops. Residents will enjoy a secure, private elevator and an oversized, 2-car garage with storage area with optional air conditioning.
Recently voted one of the top 10 most walkable neighborhoods in Florida,* the vibrant Rosemary District sets the scene for this distinctive style of modern residential living and also the best of urban retail. Zahrada retail/office suites are fully customizable to buyers’ needs, and offer optional individual heating and cooling systems, optional full bath, 14-foot high entrance areas, streetside access and abundant parking. Zahrada retailers are sure to enjoy doing business amidst locally-owned cafes, one-of-a-kind boutiques and contemporary art galleries, which draw consumers from well beyond the local area.
Developer Karel Dudych of Rosemary District Development, LLC and DBD Group MEI said, “When scouting a place to build Zahrada, we fell in love with the Rosemary District and its combination of urban and downtown Sarasota living with a rich, cultural heritage.” He continued, “The name Zahrada perfectly reflects this enchanting tropical oasis, giving a nod to our own cultural heritage.”
Further members of the Zahrada team are dedicated Rosemary District aficionados, Frank and Anita Lambert of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, who bring 40+ years’ experience in successful real estate development, marketing and sales to the team, as well as intimate knowledge of the construction industry. The contractor and local designer for the project will be announced shortly.
Rosemary District Development, LLC anticipates city approval in the coming months with groundbreaking to occur shortly thereafter, with a twelve-month projected build time. Future residents should be able to occupy in the spring of 2018. Residences start at $1,295,000 pre-construction, and retail/office suites will be priced from $350,000 and up.
