Last week’s $2.2 million sale of a 4.61-acre parcel of commercial land at 102 N. Tamiami Trail in Nokomis should pave the way for a new 100-room Hilton Home2 Suites to open on the site later this year. Situated on the southwest corner of Tamiami Trail and Albee Road less than a mile from Casey Key, Nokomis Beach and the Gulf of Mexico, the commercial property was purchased by Casey Key Hospitality LLC. The buyers are also the principles behind the new Hotel Sarasota that will be built on North Palm Avenue in downtown Sarasota. Demolition and site preparation for the hotel is currently underway.
