Former Panera, Truist spaces available at high-traffic Sarasota retail plaza

A high-traffic Sarasota shopping center has three spaces available for lease, according to American Property Group, which is marketing the properties.

Midtown Plaza, located at the intersection of South Tamiami Trail and Bahia Vista Street, is home to tenants like Michael’s on East, Massage Envy, Elysian Fields, Conviva Senior Primary Care and Starbucks. Now it seeks to fill three vacancies totaling nearly 15,000 square feet.

One is the home of a former Panera. The restaurant vacated the space in November, according to several social media posts. It occupies 4,025 square feet at the corner of the plaza. The lease rate is $40 per square foot per year, according to American Property Group.
