Grande Oaks Preserve

The property is located at 5130 DeSoto Road in Sarasota, within the growing University Town Center (UTC) area. The site benefits from convenient access to University Parkway, I-75, and Lockwood Ridge Road and is surrounded by a strong mix of residential communities, multifamily development, retail, and employment. Located near UTC, Nathan Benderson Park, Lakewood Ranch, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, the property is well positioned within one of Sarasota County’s most active growth corridors.Grande Oaks Preserve presents an opportunity to acquire a 36-unit townhome development. The project consists of six planned buildings across two phases and is designed for 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhomes with attached garages. The development benefits from significant work already completed, including County-approved construction plans, utility plans, SWFWMD permit approval, and an advanced draft plat, along with existing access, utility, stormwater, and signage easements. The property is located within the established Grande Oaks Preserve community and has the ability to access existing amenities including the clubhouse, pool, spa, and tennis courts through an agreement with the Association. With much of the planning, engineering, and entitlement work already advanced, the property offers a well-positioned opportunity for a build-to-rent investor, developer, or homebuilder in one of Sarasota’s growing residential corridors.
