SARASOTA, FL - Thompson Thrift, a full-service nationally recognized real estate company and one of the nation's leading multifamily developers, hosted a ribbon cutting for The Concord, a 257-unit Class A multifamily community in Sarasota. Resident move-ins began in March, and construction is expected to be fully complete by the end of June.
"Seeing The Concord come to life has been incredibly rewarding," said Angie Atkins, senior vice president of community management for Thompson Thrift. "It's not just about beautiful finishes or great amenities; it's about creating a place where people feel truly at home. Our team is proud to be part of Sarasota's growth, and we look forward to welcoming even more residents in the months ahead."
Located off Interstate 75 and Fruitville Road, the upscale community offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes in four-story buildings with elevator access. The apartment homes feature elegant quartz countertops, hardwood-style flooring, stainless steel appliances, patio and balcony options, private yard options, detached garages and a full-size washer and dryer. Each home also includes Alexa-compatible smart home packages as well as high-speed, instant-on internet access.
Luxury living continues throughout the community, including a fully equipped fitness center with 24-hour access, resort-style swimming pool, outdoor entertainment and community grilling areas, dog run and pet spa, 24-hour social hub and work-from-home focus suites.
The Concord also features a skydeck overlooking the Celery Fields to the south, and includes an open-air area with firepit, shade structure and soft seating. The indoor amenity space has a chef's kitchen available for residents to host parties and happy hours.
The community is on the southern outskirts of Lakewood Ranch, the nation's second-fastest-growing master-planned community. Residents can enjoy being adjacent to a Publix Super Market, along with convenient access to downtown Sarasota and a variety of high-end retail and dining options.
At the ribbon cutting, visitors were able to tour the model, explore the professionally decorated clubhouse and community amenities. As part of Thompson Thrift's ongoing commitment to community engagement, they presented a check to local non-profit Big Cat Habitat to aid their efforts in educating guests on the importance of species preservation and provide sanctuary to exotic and domestic animals in need.
