1500 State Street in Downtown Sarasota Holds Topping Off Ceremony

April 15, 2017 by Post

SARASOTA, FL – One of the most exciting urban projects to come to downtown Sarasota in recent years has reached a milestone. The mixed-use development 1500 State Street, at the corner of State Street and Lemon Avenue, celebrated its topping off in a ceremony held recently.

Jackson & Associates General Contractors Inc., along with the developers, condo owners, building tenants, construction crew and project contributors, participated in the ceremony of placing the last beam atop the structure. This age-old tradition or “builders’ rite” served notice to the community that the project has reached a significant milestone, and allowed the General Contractor to recognize the many individuals who have contributed to the project.

The Topping Out Party was hosted by the development team of Dr. Mark Kauffman; Joe R. Hembree, Hembree & Associates; Elita Krums-Kane; Thomas Jackson, President, Jackson & Associates General Contractors; and prominent members of the greater Sarasota community. The project, located on a challenging site, is almost two months ahead of schedule.

The celebration included closing Lemon Avenue for food and fun, guided tours of the project and the collection of individual contributions to a planned 1500 State Street Time Capsule.

“As builders, it is important that we preserve these age-old rituals,” said Jackson. “Topping Off Ceremonies, time capsules and signing of structural walls are important benchmarks of a project. They serve as a marker to indicate we were here, we will be here, and we built an edifice that will endure the test of time.”
