The newly acquired site—identified as 2705 East Venice Avenue—sits roughly six miles from the organization’s existing community on the island of Venice. And while the new land purchase points toward long-range growth, the strongest signal may be what’s happening right now at the current campus: Village on the Isle is preparing to open two new residential buildings later this year, adding 54 independent living residences—and both buildings are already completely presold before occupancy.

The parcel stretches across a developing corridor that mixes established neighborhoods with open land and expanding infrastructure. For a wider look at the surrounding area, the fastest way to orient yourself is to pull up the corridor on satellite view via Google Maps satellite imagery and zoom out to see nearby communities, road connections, and adjacent land uses.

Early planning describes the satellite campus as a complement to the existing community rather than a replacement—part of a broader model where residents can live independently and transition to higher levels of care when needed. Village on the Isle offers a full continuum, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.

Planning materials associated with the project indicate the property is zoned for up to 452 multifamily residential dwellings, though the organization has signaled it does not intend to build to full density—leaving room for future growth aligned with mission and long-term demand. The satellite campus has been publicly described as Arbor Vita, with expectations to break ground in 2027 and target completion in 2030.

For Venice and the broader Sarasota County area, the purchase is another marker of how retirement housing is evolving: providers aren’t just filling today’s rooms—they’re securing tomorrow’s land. A nonprofit, faith-based operator placing a multi-year bet on a second campus signals confidence that demand will remain strong well into the next decade.

Residents can track local planning context through the City of Venice and broader Sarasota County government resources as the project advances. In the meantime, the headline detail is simple: the next campus may be years away—but at the current one, new inventory isn’t even making it to move-in day before it’s already gone.
