Mark Pierce, president of Pierce Contracting Inc., and George Birkhold plan to start the first phase of their planned mixed-use Citrus Square in downtown Sarasota later this year. Pierce Contracting will be the builder for the project on Orange Avenue between Boulevard of the Arts and Fourth Street. The development as currently envisioned would feature ground-floor retail and restaurants along with the condos, which are being targeted to start in the mid $200,000s.
