The former Harmar building in Sarasota is up for lease.

The 25,000-square-foot industrial facility is at 2075 47th St.

According to the listing from Ian Black Real Estate, the property includes a 20,000-square-foot warehouse and 5,000 square feet of office space. There are two loading docks and 35 parking spaces. The Sarasota commercial real estate firm says the roof was replaced last month and the office space was recently renovated.

The lease asking price is $13 per square foot, which is about $325,000 per year.

Harmar, a Sarasota-based mobility device manufacturer, began moving out of the space in 2021 and into a new facility on Independence Boulevard.

The property is currently owned by the New Jersey real estate investment firm B&D Holdings. It paid $4.5 million for it in 2021 according to Sarasota County property records. Before that, it had been owned by an LLC tied to Harmar’s founder Chad Williams.

Designer's Resources of Florida is currently occupying the space but intends to move out and the firm is working with several replacement tenants says Nick DeVito II with Ian Black. He and Brie Tulp are representing the property owner.

This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Brie Tulp’s name.
