New beginning for Pineapple Square

Just months after agreeing to move ahead with the development of the stalled Pineapple Square in downtown Sarasota, the Kolter Group has designated a new name and start date for the mixed-use project.

Kolter plans to begin work on “The Mark,” as it will be called, by the end of March, says Bobby Julien, Kolter's CEO.

The project, which will be built at Lemon Avenue and State Street, is slated to contain 157 condominium units, 35,000 square feet of retail space and 15,000 square feet of offices.
