In 2017, American cable television network TNT premiered “Claws,” a new comedic series about the lives of manicurists who work at a nail salon in Manatee County that is connected to illicit activities. The female nail technicians dream of the day when they will be able to move south to Downtown Sarasota and live in a place such as Cityscape at Courthouse Centre Sarasota.

Cityscape represents the new generation of Downtown Sarasota residential architecture. Upon being completed in 2005, the modernist style with hints of Art Deco design injected new life into the downtown district; the lower level of this handsome building feature restaurants and shops, and this mixed-use zoning is now being implemented in other areas of Sarasota.

Each unit at Cityscape features two bedrooms and two bathrooms built on a minimum 1,293 square feet of living space. The penthouse units are priced under $1 million, an extremely reasonable price considering the prime location in the heart of Downtown Sarasota; furthermore, many of the units in this condominium have luxurious extras such as bronze pedestal sinks, brushed steel appliances, terraces with views of Main Street, oak cabinets, Venetian granite counters, and more. Cityscape units are listed as low as $550K (2022). Latest pricing Cityscape Sarasota will be found below if there is inventory.

Living at Cityscape means being able to enjoy 24/7 security, private parking, elevators, and storage; it also means being able to walk to nearby film and stage theaters, art galleries, restaurants, boutiques, banks, outdoor cafes, and everything that makes Downtown Sarasota the cultural jewel of Southwest Florida. Driving to Siesta Key Beach takes no more than 10 minutes, and is actually within bike riding distance.

Prospective buyers should realize that it is unusual to find luxury condominium offers in Downtown Sarasota listed under a million dollars. The current prices of Cityscape at Courthouse Centre Sarasota units are bound to appreciate considerably over the next few years, and this is something that property investors should think about when evaluating their purchases.
