Fences have been erected and interior demolition of buildings at the corner of Goodrich Avenue and Main Street in downtown Sarasota has begun. In approximately two months the site will be cleared for construction of SOTA, a hybrid boutique hotel and luxury condominium coexisting in a 16-story tower.

Trepp Development announced the start of the project Sept. 22, with the first step being removal of asbestos from buildings currently on-site.
