1500 State Street is a boutique mixed-use condominium in the heart of Downtown Sarasota, located at the corner of State Street and Lemon Avenue. Completed in 2017, the six-story building combines commercial and office space on its lower levels with just 20 condominium residences above, providing a smaller-scale alternative to Downtown Sarasota’s larger residential towers.
The location is one of the building’s defining features. Residents are surrounded by restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, galleries, professional offices, cultural venues, and the Sarasota Farmers Market, while Sarasota Bay and the downtown bayfront are also nearby. Assigned covered parking and elevator access add convenience for buyers who want an urban lifestyle without giving up dedicated parking.
1500 State Street Residences
1500 State Street contains only 20 condominium residences spread across the upper floors of the building. Floor plans are primarily one- and two-bedroom configurations, generally ranging from approximately 730 to just over 1,000 square feet.
Depending on the residence, features may include 10-foot ceilings, open living areas, contemporary kitchens, impact-resistant windows and doors, private balconies, in-unit laundry, and city views.
Because individual condos have been furnished and updated differently since the building was completed, buyers should compare flooring, cabinetry, appliances, lighting, window treatments, furnishings, and other unit-specific improvements.
Boutique Mixed-Use Living
1500 State Street was designed as a mixed-use development, placing condominium residences above commercial and professional space in the center of Downtown Sarasota.
The building’s smaller residential component creates a different experience from many of Sarasota’s larger condominium towers. Rather than emphasizing an extensive resort-style amenity package, 1500 State Street focuses on urban convenience, a central downtown address, secured residential access, elevator service, and assigned parking.
Assigned Covered Parking
Residences at 1500 State Street include assigned covered parking associated with the adjoining State Street parking structure. Elevator and secured-access arrangements allow residents to move conveniently between the parking area and the residential portion of the building.
Dedicated parking can be an important feature in Downtown Sarasota, particularly for buyers who want a walkable location while still keeping a vehicle available for trips to the beaches, airport, shopping areas, and other parts of Sarasota.
Building Features
Current property records and MLS listings identify elevator service, controlled residential access, assigned covered parking, private balconies on many residences, sidewalks, and an urban mixed-use setting among the building’s primary features.
1500 State Street is not positioned as a large resort-style condominium with an extensive clubhouse complex. Buyers comparing downtown buildings should consider whether they prefer a smaller boutique property focused on location and walkability or a larger condominium tower with a broader collection of shared recreational amenities.
Condo Association & Buyer Due Diligence
1500 State Street is governed by a condominium association responsible for common elements and shared building components. Current MLS information indicates that condominium fees may include items such as building or exterior maintenance, insurance on association-controlled property, reserves, management, pest control, security, trash, and other common expenses depending on the current budget.
Before purchasing, buyers should review the latest condominium declaration, association budget, reserve information, insurance coverage, recent meeting minutes, maintenance history, planned capital projects, and any pending or proposed assessments.
Association fees and included services can change, so current documents should always be reviewed rather than relying on fees or maintenance information from an older listing.
Pet & Rental Considerations
Pets are permitted at 1500 State Street subject to current condominium rules and restrictions. Recent MLS records have commonly permitted up to two pets, although buyers should verify current size, number, breed, and other pet provisions directly from the association documents.
Recent sale listings also commonly reflect a one-month minimum lease period. This can offer more rental flexibility than some Downtown Sarasota condominium buildings, but lease frequency, tenant approval, application requirements, and other restrictions should be confirmed before purchasing for investment or seasonal rental purposes.
Downtown Sarasota Location
1500 State Street sits near the intersection of State Street and Lemon Avenue in the Downtown Sarasota core. Main Street is nearby, placing restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, nightlife, galleries, professional offices, and the weekly Sarasota Farmers Market within the surrounding downtown area.
