Construction has started on two affordable housing projects in Sarasota, both of which mark the second phase of their respective developments. Upon completion, the pair will deliver 208 units. Here’s what’s in store.
Cypress Square II will expand on the already-existing Cypress Square, which opened in 2024 and currently offers 84 units in three stories. The second phase will comprise 108 affordable housing units, 33 of which will be available to residents with Section 8 vouchers.
