Just days after a sign went up near the intersection of Ringling Boulevard and South Pineapple Avenue in downtown Sarasota announcing a new development there, the developer of Adagio had its pre-application conference before the city’s Development Review Committee on March 5.

The Lutgert Cos. of Naples revealed plans to build a two-tower mixed-use development above a single podium building on multiple parcels. It plans an 18-story, 100-unit luxury condominium building in the west tower and a nine story, 67-unit, all attainable rental apartment west tower above structured parking and 18,584 square feet of street-level retail and office space.
