The Collection Sarasota

The Collection stands at 1335 2nd Street in downtown Sarasota, within the City of Sarasota’s Downtown Core zoning district. Sarasota County’s property records identify The Collection as a recorded condominium subdivision and a common-elements parcel at the address. DSDG Architects, the project architect, describes the completed building as a 10-story tower with 12 residences. Its portfolio dates completion to 2022, a date also reflected in Sarasota County’s record for a representative unit. The building’s location on 2nd Street places it within the downtown street grid, where an arrival can begin at the pedestrian lobby rather than a front parking court. The architect’s project description explains that the main lobby and pedestrian entry face the primary street while vehicle access is arranged from the rear alley. That design choice is part of the building’s plan, not a promise about current traffic or access conditions. Before visiting, confirm current entry, parking, and showing arrangements with the appropriate contact. The durable picture is a small downtown condominium with a defined address, a completed tower form, and a plan that separates pedestrian arrival from vehicle circulation.

DSDG Architects documents 12 distinct residences in The Collection, with a mix of two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and penthouse configurations. The architect’s published program identifies smaller residences at approximately 2,580 square feet with two bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a den, and two terraces. Larger published plans are approximately 3,310 square feet, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a den, a powder room, and a wraparound terrace. Five penthouse layouts occupy whole decks from levels six through 10 in the architect’s description. The published penthouse format includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a den, and a powder room. These plan descriptions help explain the building’s variety, but they are not a substitute for a current unit-specific floor plan or feature list. Sarasota County’s record for Unit 2E independently illustrates that variation: it records two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one half bathroom, condominium storage, and under-building attached parking for that residence. The architect describes large glass walls serving living areas and primary bedrooms, with utility and mechanical functions organized toward the core. Board-formed concrete, aluminum storefront, white stucco, blue-green glass, and wood accents are the documented exterior and ground-level material palette. Individual layouts, terraces, storage, parking, finishes, and views should always be confirmed for the specific residence being considered.

The documented amenity program is centered on the building’s second-level deck. DSDG Architects lists a sport pool, hot tub, deck with cabanas and lounge chairs, fire pit with seating, and an outdoor grilling area. Indoors, the architect lists a sauna, fitness area, boardroom, and social lounge opening onto the outdoor deck. MK Equity’s project page also identifies a concierge area, manager’s office, mail and package areas, private parking, resident storage, yoga and fitness space, a meeting room, and an entertainment area in its project description. These sources document the intended and published building program. They should not be read as a guarantee of current staffing, hours, reservations, guest access, service, or association rules. The same caution applies to facilities: a current association or management contact is the right source for operating details, maintenance schedules, and any use policies. For an evergreen guide, the useful fact is the layered design of shared indoor and outdoor spaces, with the pool deck, fitness and wellness areas, meeting space, storage, and parking described by the project team. That is more durable than presenting temporary operational details as fixed promises.

The Collection’s setting is shaped by physical places rather than assumptions about its residents: a 2nd Street pedestrian entry, a rear-alley vehicle approach, glass-and-concrete exterior materials, private terraces described in the project plans, and a second-level deck that combines water, fire, fitness, and gathering spaces. The architect’s plan creates a clear transition from the downtown sidewalk to the lobby and then to the shared amenity level above. Within the building, the documented mix of two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and penthouse layouts adds architectural variety without making the tower feel like a repeated floor plate. Outside, the downtown location makes the surrounding street grid part of the experience, with cultural venues, restaurants, shops, parks, and the bayfront area reached through the broader downtown fabric. This is a place-based description, not a claim about who belongs here or how anyone should use it. The best way to understand the building is to pair an authorized showing with time on nearby blocks and a review of the specific residence’s plan. Because association policies and operating details are not fixed design facts, confirm them directly. The lasting character is a compact 12-residence building using materials, terraces, a street-facing arrival, and a layered amenity deck to create its downtown setting.
