Miami-based Sunexus Group is planning to construct the apartment building just west of Sumter Boulevard, near the I-75 interchange. Camilo Hasbun, one of the developers behind the project, said there will be 42 units in the building.
Hasbun said North Port’s growth attracted Sunexus to the city. The planned building will be just down the road from where Sarasota Memorial Hospital is building the city’s first full-scale hospital.
