Garage at former Dolphin Tower, once shut down and evacuated, to undergo major repairs

More than 10 years after the Dolphin Tower condominium in downtown Sarasota shut down because of structural problems that forced residents to evacuate, the tower will once again have to undergo major repairs that could affect both the residents and retail tenants on the property.

Jim Toale, president of The 101 Condominium Association of Sarasota, confirmed the work was needed, in an email exchange with the Business Observer. He said what happens to residents and retailers would be known by April 1, after the project’s contractor shares details.
