Our Vision
A Vibrant Village Built Around Community
For 17 years, our historic bungalows have been the heartbeat of Downtown Sarasota, a place where neighbors gather, artists create, and memories are made. Now, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to relocate and restore these irreplaceable buildings to a beautiful new home, creating an even more vibrant gathering place for generations to come.

READ OUR STORY →Why This Matters
Some things can't be rebuilt once they're gone.
These aren't just buildings, they're living pieces of Sarasota's history. Built in the 1920s and 1930s, our bungalows have witnessed nearly a century of community life. Once demolished, that irreplaceable character is lost forever. We have a rare chance to save them.
Behind every door is a family business that has poured their heart into this community. The Breakfast House, Siegfried's, The Artful Giraffe, Discover Sarasota Tours, and The Cookie Cottage together represent 17+ years of local culture, 300+ artists, and hundreds of thousands of visitors who call this village their favorite place in Sarasota.
