SARASOTA, Fla. - s4story -- Ian Black Real Estate has been awarded the exclusive leasing assignment for a medical campus at Newtown Gateway, designed to serve communities throughout North Sarasota. The medical campus will be developed on a 4.73-acre site at 2046 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way and offers flexible opportunities for healthcare providers, developers and investors seeking to establish a presence in one of Sarasota's most strategically positioned – and medically underserved – corridors.

Newtown Gateway is a 14-acre development that will include two self-encapsulated components – a medical campus on 4.7-acres and a light industrial complex occupying 9.3 acres. The development was conceived to bring meaningful job creation and increase healthcare access for the historic Newtown community and North Sarasota.
