Tower Residences, Sarasota
A structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) is on file with the state for this 80-unit community at 35 Watergate Drive, completed October 28, 2024 by a reserve specialist (DBPR's SIRS database, as of October 5, 2026).
The association reports 19 floors and a 2001 construction year. The county roll lists 2003 as the year built. If its certificate of occupancy (CO) was issued in 2001, its first milestone inspection is probably due by December 31, 2031 (s. 553.899(3)(a), F.S.). A local building department can require the first inspection at 25 years: check with City of Sarasota Building & Permitting.
