SARASOTA, Fla., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 1000 NORTH Sarasota is proud to announce it has selected First Horizon Bank (NYSE: FHN), a leading financial institution with a deep commitment to Florida's growth and community development, as its financing partner for the development of a new dining club and wine attic lounge concept.

"As a community-focused bank, we are thrilled to be part of bringing 1000 NORTH Sarasota to life. This project is not only creating an exclusive retreat, but a community asset. The developer's commitment to hiring locally, sourcing from regional suppliers and implementing sustainable practices is in alignment with our lending priorities. The projected creation of nearly 40 new jobs makes this investment a win-win for our local Sarasota economy," said Rich Hopper, Commercial Banker for First Horizon Bank.

The Sarasota club is modeled after and associated with 1000 NORTH Jupiter, Palm Beach County's iconic waterfront restaurant and private club. Founded by a distinguished group of partners including Michael Jordan, Ernie Els, Marvin Shanken, Ira Fenton and other founding partners, the original location has become a nationally recognized destination for culinary excellence and elevated social experiences.

In Sarasota, the concept is being brought to life through a collaboration between Jupiter managing partner Ira Fenton and Sarasota-based developer Kevin Daves, whose portfolio includes The Concession Golf Club and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences in Sarasota.

"Securing financing with First Horizon Bank is more than a financial step—it's a vote of confidence in the 1000 NORTH brand and what it represents," said Kevin Daves, President of Core Development Inc. "We're creating something Sarasota hasn't seen before: a refined, private experience where hospitality, cuisine, and culture come together in one extraordinary setting that is simply the best."

1000 NORTH Sarasota will be located in the BLVD building at 520 North Tamiami Trail.
