7th & Central
7th & Central
The 7th & Central Residences redefine modern urban living in Sarasota’s Rosemary District. Designed by Halflants + Pichette, award-winning Sarasota architects, the seven-story development combines private residential comfort with strong community connection. The building includes twenty-four condominium units, each accessed by private elevators that provide a refined and secure living experience. Four two-story townhomes anchor the base of the structure, each with its own yard and pool, giving residents the feel of single-family living within a dense urban setting.
Expansive cantilevered balconies extend from the structural grid façade, creating rhythm and depth while framing long views of downtown Sarasota. The combination of lightness, proportion, and material precision gives the building a distinctive urban presence. Street-level amenities, including a fitness center and resident lobby, contribute to an active and welcoming ground floor, ensuring that the project supports both its residents and the surrounding neighborhood.
URBAN CONNECTION AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN IN SARASOTA
The development integrates private living with public benefit through a full-block park that connects Cohen Way to Central Avenue. This green corridor enhances walkability, provides public gathering space, and strengthens the Rosemary District’s sense of community. Parking is fully enclosed and hidden from view, allowing the street frontage to remain open and engaging.
At the roof level, a terrace and pool are oriented toward downtown, offering panoramic city views. Plantings along balconies and rooftop gardens bring natural texture into the design, reinforcing Halflants + Pichette’s commitment to sustainability in Sarasota architecture. The result is a multi-family project that balances privacy, openness, and community engagement. 7th & Central demonstrates how thoughtful architectural design can shape modern urban living while contributing to the long-term character of Sarasota’s growing downtown.
Built for a waterfront environment, the residence combines durable materials, extended rooflines, and energy-efficient systems to withstand coastal conditions. Every opening is designed to frame the surrounding landscape and draw the eye toward the creek. The result is a modern home that feels grounded to its site yet light in appearance, expressing the studio’s philosophy of creating architecture that lives comfortably within Sarasota’s subtropical climate.
