The Jewel:
We're creating tower residence's and a lifestyle choice that shall inspire each homeowner
for a pure modern sleek downtown Sarasota condominium high rise mixed use development,
coupled with spectacular unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay, Marina Jack's 307
expertly maintained yacht slips, 3 parks, two renowned bridges, rewarding sunsets,
Big Pass and an unparalleled amenities package.
More than the prior statement, our top notch experienced team of architectural and interior
design professionals, as well as the Developer and General Contractor
work toward one simple mission:
"Dedicate ourselves, to provide polite and timely services
to each and every customer of The Jewel, every day from design selection and through move-in-date,
as well as through our customer warranty period".
The "best of the best" is what we provide and our commitment. The Jewel "showroom"
at JKL Design is wonderful. Each customer is "hand held" through the color and finish process,
by Kurt and Michelle. Honestly, JKL Design services are fun, very detailed and amazing.
Our purchasers are energetic, solid and the backbone of our success story. Each purchaser has
a unique history of life's boundless endeavors and we provide to all customers
of The Jewel, a special relationship from purchase, design, construction and closing.
The State of Florida has approved The Jewel Condominium Documents and we are selling
tower residences in our binding purchase agreement stage (well past a reservation stage).
This is an important statement to all customers, as our condominium documents include
all plat layout's our very experienced team of surveyor, project architect, engineers,
legal, designer and the like all produced final details contained therein.
We are at this time directly involved with obtaining the City of Sarasota issued building permit
and we believe it will be ready very shortly. Hoyt Architects, Jag Engineering, Wilson Structural Engineering,
Gerkin Surveying, MEP engineering under Michael Thompson's direction, Williams Parker Law Firm
and the Developer are wrapping up the last few requested answers to City staff comments.
A high profile, $50,000,000. project, such as The Jewel, requires every detail from dedicated
easements to utilities departments, recycling waste matters, through all construction activities.
The City staff has requested answers at this time, only alleviates problems, which may occur later.
We respect the process. One thing for sure, when the construction phase begins,
we'll move at a very quick pace. We stand ready to pay the remaining balance of the City building permit fee.
Then, we wrap up the few remaining sales, mobilize our construction team and proceed.
We have only a three tower residences available for purchase. Call me now please... I love presenting The Jewel !
Thank you very much.

The Jewel - Update 1/1/14
We are moving forward at a very fast pace. Each day, our experienced team of dedicated staff
and experts wrap up various portions of elements beneficial to fulfilling our mission.
Our transition from Reservation Stage to Purchase Agreement Stage has resulted (on schedule)
in consummation of fully executed purchase and sales contracts on the majority of the 19 residential tower
residences at The Jewel. The few remaining available tower residences will be 'snapped up' as we continue
our progress and visual aspects of construction appears.
Our design team has worked very hard to achieve completion and perfection of our comprehensive
architectural and engineering plans. The expert staff of the City of Sarasota planning, building, utility and
engineering departments have spent many hours dedicated toward providing written comments
to end up with final plans being in conformity with City building codes and regulations.
Our design team is in a few days delivering responses back to the city, to wrap up
our Building Permit issuance process. I am thankful to everyone working on this project
to allow our development and construction team to commence the construction phase of The Jewel.
The project is scheduled for completion in 470 days, under the expert direction of Suffolk Construction Co.
On December 30, 2013 Florida Power & Light's construction crew showed up, to position
The Jewel, by adding a new pole and transformer to service Cafe Epicure and remove two electrical poles
and transformer to clear our site for the upcoming site work and such. This transition required
coordination with many governing bodies and substantial funds to move forward.
FPL performed timely and in expert fashion.
Consistent with any new construction development, the front end time, marketing and creativity,
legal documentation, branding and such, consumes organizing numerous aspects from many disciplines.
We have achieved award winning design and completion on over 50 projects. The Jewel, being a crowning project,
is within a few short weeks of construction mobilization and commencement.
We are a debt free company, having performed all land acquisition, completion of design plans,
structural engineering, civil engineering, architectural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering,
surveying, marketing, legal requirements and such. Our conservative outlook will continue through
completing The Jewel, which in the end, will be an award winning tribute of success
and an excellent value and investment afforded to each customer.
Our wonderful ground floor Main Street Commercial condominium units are now a focus
of our development team to place wonderful business enterprises in each remaining available space.
Of course, each commercial condominium retail space, will be finished to comport to
The Jewel's expert design integrity, including fine Italian porcelain products on floors, most walls and
unique LED lighting, store front glass and doors, and signage. We already have commercial condominium
spaces designated from experienced establishments to occupy and operate at The Jewel. We are in discussions
with other businesses at this time. All commercial spaces fronting on Main Street are prime retail locations.
Our coffee table book, "The Jewel, Back In Time", has been sent to the printer.
This book, is a very unique project, which we put together over the last several months.
It encompasses over 100 pages of photographs of lower Main Street Sarasota, over many years.
We received input and writing from local recognized historian, Jeff LaHurd, and my long time friend,
Tom Mayers, on providing fun photographs of our block and other prominent properties and personalities
that reflect Sarasota's evolution over 100+ years. It is simply a hard bound coffee table book
for our customers, family and friends to enjoy.
There's much to do yet, in fulfilling our mission. We are an enterprise with an exceptional design,
construction, marketing, legal and development team with a dedicated financial plan,
to complete construction of our high rise, well located building and end up with a
pride of ownership award winning development.
You will soon observe how fast we construct and create this spectacular project.
The "best of the best" is our statement for The Jewel. I encourage you to stop by our sales office
located 80 feet from the project site. I'll be happy to present the project and our finishes to you.
We recognize, The Jewel may not be your next lifestyle choice; however, you will be energized
by previewing first hand, what will be constructed with attractive modern finishes.
You will see our commitment to each customer and relay comments to your friends and family from your
personal investigation of this prominent new downtown high rise development.
All tower residences will be sold. We will create numerous jobs through construction,
enhance downtown retail sales during construction and of course, add permanent jobs and
new downtown residents, to enjoy the many attributes our wonderful City of Sarasota has to offer.
This $50,000,000 project is on the map. Thank you very much for your support and interest in The Jewel!

in casual attire, you can all still visit The Jewel Club Room, the social
center of this project.
Ahhhhh....it's all finished to the nines! Kurt Lucas was quoted,
"The Jewel is your most comfortable pair of jeans,
with a diamond studded belt".
The Jewel commercial condominium purchasers shall also receive the finest finishes to further represent
this project, in which we shall design and install in each commercial space custom
Italian porcelain flooring and wall details, LED lighting and much more.
The Jewel commercial condominium spaces shall be elegantly finished, so that the curb appeal
and customer experience will compliment the project.
All tower residences will be sold. Call me at 941.704.5873. I'll be glad to talk to you, any day.
Our sales office is 80 feet from this wonderful project.
We're wrapping up every detail, so the construction drawings and permit set, represent the Developer's
detailed intent. We're bidding every aspect of the project and locking in various subcontractors

Sarasota real estate developer Tom Mannausa is behind The Jewel,
a 17-story luxury condo tower planned for downtown Sarasota.
The Jewel Rule
Date: February 22, 2013
by Mark Gordon | Deputy Managing Editor | Business Observer
Real estate developer Tom Mannausa took a rare step for a 19-year-old college kid
back in 1977 to jumpstart his career. That’s when Mannausa sold his silver 1969 Corvette,
a gift from his dad. Mannausa used the money, $3,250, to buy a student rental property in
Kalamazoo, Mich., where he was enrolled at Western Michigan University.
He soon used the proceeds he made from that house to put down
payments on four more local homes.
That was the beginning of what’s now a 35-year real estate development career.
Mannausa’s companies have developed 900 condos and homes in
the region, in addition to a few million square feet of retail and office space.
Mannausa has personally been the lead developer for at least 50 projects,
and he partnered with prominent homebuilder Pat Neal on other projects for nearly 20 years.
But Mannausa’s career is now marked with a new purpose: To play
a supporting role in the post-recession rejuvenation of downtowns throughout
the Gulf Coast. Examples of new downtown projects dot the region.
That goes from a $20 million renovation and expansion of a hotel on prime
real estate in Naples to the condo conversion of a Clearwater office building.
Another example: an abandoned 87-year-old hotel in downtown
Bradenton, where Al Capone and Babe Ruth supposedly once stayed,
is being turned into a Hampton Inn.
The rejuvenation project Mannausa is behind is called The Jewel.
It’s a 17-story luxury condo tower planned for Main Street and Gulfstream Avenue,
the cultural and arts hub of downtown Sarasota. The structure, at a potential 236 feet,
would be the tallest downtown building. It would also be one of the first major
residential projects built downtown in five years.
“And new is new,” says Mannausa. “It’s never been lived in before.
It’s new countertops. New bathrooms. New everything.”
A Brilliant Location
The Jewel introduces mesmerizing
unobstructed views of Sarasota Bay,
the Gulf of Mexico, and downtown Sarasota
in a sleek and modern building.
Located at the corner of Gulf Stream Avenue
and Main Street, this signature structure
will be Sarasota’s newest silhouette
on the waterfront.
The Jewel offers 19 luxury residences
ranging from two-story lofts to
a full floor penthouse and all feature
floor to ceiling glass. Every residence
has a generous balcony,
11’4” high ceilings, luxury appliances,
distinctive finishes, designer
lighting and interior on-site parking.
Designed by Gary Hoyt, AIA, The Jewel
blends street level retail with luxury living
and separates them with an entire floor
of amenities.
Relax or swim laps in your 20-meter
Infinity pool, keep fit and stress-free
in your high-tech gym and low-key
yoga rooms, choose bay or city views
to entertain your friends in the lounge
areas or just chill inside the Emerald Club
equipped with HD3D Television, bar and
dramatic seating areas.
Additional recreational amenities include
a Jacuzzi, poolside steam bath,
paddle tennis court and putting green.
The Perfect Address for your
Multi-Faceted Lifestyle
Theatre, opera, art galleries, Selby Botanical
Garden, specialty boutiques, cinemas and even
a downtown farmer’s market are all within easy
walking distance. Join the early morning crowd
for a run or bike ride across Ringling Bridge to
St. Armands Circle and the beaches.
Walk your dog and enjoy the sunset at
Bayfront Park or stroll Main Street and choose
from dozens of award-winning restaurants.
Living at The Jewel, you can dock your own boat
or charter one at Marina Jack just across the
street. Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Lido Key
and many museums and attractions are
within a short drive.

purchased in December 2010. The second
parcel was purchased in May, 2012. The third
parcel was purchased July 2012. The second
and third parcels have month to month leases
with the Sellers of each, Living Walls and The
Sports Page Bar.
The three parcels together encompass 105' on
Gulf Stream Avenue and 150' on Main Street in
beautiful Sarasota, Florida. This prime corner is
considered the gateway to downtown.
At 5 S. Gulf Stream Avenue, the T. Mannausa
& Co.has leased a prime retail location 80 feet
from The Jewel.
We have begun taking applications and
reservations for The Jewel Tower Residences.
The required legal paperwork is in place.
DESIGN UPDATE: The design has progressed
to a state that future residents can fully
understand the integrity proposed. The design
process has moved past schematic design and
on to design development. Soon, contract
documents will commence. Numerous
consultants and contractor/trades are providing
input, including discussions with a professional
condominium association property management
company.
The Jewel has entered into a construction loan
agreement with a three plus billion dollar bank.
We are working towards completing various
required checklist items to firm up this
commitment.
The good news is a few banks are pursuing
commercial construction lending opportunities,
whereas a year or five years ago, this was
nonexistent. We are also in discussion with the
bank in occupying commercial space in The Jewel,
which would prove to be an excellent convenience.
Our unique marketing materials have been
approved and are in the works. Much has been
delivered to our corporate office. Stop by and
preview our sales center at 5 South Gulf Stream
Avenue, Sarasota, Florida.
The project contemplates eighteen residential
condominium units, together with approximately
6,000 square feet of retail commercial real
estate fronting on Main Street. The site is
absolutely prime in nature. All of the units will
have an unobstructed view of Sarasota Bay
and the world-renowned Marina Jack’s
Restaurant & Marina — boat slips,
Sarasota Bay, St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach,
Siesta Key and the famous Ringling Bridge.
This development will encompass exquisite
amenities including:
• a swimming pool and Jacuzzi
• a hi-tech work out and aerobic facility
• a meeting & greeting room with card tables
• a well appointed lobby
• a professionally designed 6-hole putting course
with synthetic turf
• and a professionally designed and installed
platform tennis court, all for the exclusive use
by The Jewel residents.
At this time, the development is in its planning
phase; although no rezoning is required in order
to perfect the commencement of this planned
project.
