Sarasota marine construction company pays $2.5M for new space

New Pass Dock & Seawall, a Sarasota marine construction company, has bought a mixed-used space in the city that it will use as a design center and production facility. 

The property is at 4139 N. Washington Blvd. and sits on 0.83 acres. New Pass paid $2.56 million for the property. 

It was previously owned by SignZoo, which property records show paid $310,000 for it in 2004. 

SignZoo outgrew the space and has relocated to two 8,000-square-foot properties — 1107 Tallevast Road in Sarasota and 901 8th Ave W. in Bradenton. 

New Pass’ new space, according Ian Black Real Estate, includes a 6,190-square-foot industrial flex building and a 3,060-square-foot office building. 

New Pass, which was founded in 2023 and specializes in custom dock design, will use the space to meet with clients to plan out docks, seawalls, boat lifts and decks. 

The design center is expected to open in early June. 

Ian Black, the Sarasota commercial real estate firm, represented both parties in the deal; Nick DeVito II and Brie Tulp represented New Pass Dock & Seawall and Amy MacDougall represented SignZoo.
