One Park Sarasota: Building A Strong Future on the Waterfront

Florida’s Gulf Coast is no stranger to tropical weather and its impacts. While these storms occur at random, they present crucial lessons on how Floridians can best build and prepare for the unpredictability of hurricane season. They also underscore the benefits of living in new construction buildings built under Florida’s updated hurricane codes, which provide increased protection and preservation of structures along the coast.

One of the newest buildings rising along Florida’s Gulf Coast is One Park Sarasota, a boutique luxury condominium located in the coveted Downtown Sarasota neighborhood of The Quay. Developers PMG and Moneyshow are committed to providing the safest possible waterfront structure for its future residents to enjoy, by adhering to Florida’s latest, stringent building codes.

Benefits of New Construction

After Florida faced Hurricane Andrew in 1992, multiple new building codes fell into place across the state. These stricter codes revolutionized the structural integrity and overall safety of Florida’s newest homes, leading to a new generation of reinforced construction capable of withstanding the majority of major hurricanes and natural impacts.

As one of the newest developments in Downtown Sarasota, One Park Sarasota will deliver a higher standard of quality and safety than its older, pre-Hurricane Andrew counterparts. Its residents can rest easier each hurricane season under the assurance their home is equipped with impact-resistant glass, reinforced walled interiors, and durable materials that are created to withstand hurricane-force winds and elements.

Preserving Structural Integrity

Building a property capable of surviving a major storm begins with securing a strong core and foundation. One Park Sarasota’s design includes a number of key features intended to construct just that for the building, preserving and bolstering its overall integrity during a storm. One of these crucial aspects is the use of firm materials. The property utilizes a high-strength, post-tension concrete to fortify its overall structure. Additionally, a thickened concrete is used throughout its elevator and stair cores, preserving these internal structures and helping the building maintain a solid core throughout high winds.

Additionally, One Park Sarasota has measures in place to protect its existing internal structures and services in the event of a storm. Its A/C cooling towers will remain protected for continued use thanks to a column of concrete blocks that will wall around their sides. Similarly, the amenity spaces on level four of One Park Sarasota are thoughtfully designed and situated so that they and their services will be well above ground level and continuously running for residents.

Powering Forward

One of the main concerns for Floridians when a tropical storm or hurricane impacts their area is maintaining power. High winds and trees falling on power lines can quickly lead to food, refrigerated medications, and general comfort being put in jeopardy for anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

One Park Sarasota is deliberately designed to alleviate this common worry as much as possible for its residents. If power does go out, both the residences’ A/C and refrigerator units will continue to run under the power of the building’s generators, ensuring no lapse in cooling takes place. Residents will also have Wolf gas cooktops capable of cooking meals if electrical downtime does occur. Beyond food protection, the building’s generators will additionally ensure all life-safety systems throughout the building will continue to run.

Maintaining Contact with Authorities and Family

As with any natural event, communication is key. Not only is it important to have access to instructions from authorities and weather alerts, but it is also necessary to be able to contact loved ones once storms have passed. One Park Sarasota is equipped to make sure this contact is not broken if or when power goes out. Its generators will supply one convenience outlet per residence, giving homeowners the chance to charge their devices as needed and maintain contact with loved ones.
