2908 Avenue B — Modus Builders’ First Spec Home on Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria Island continues to evolve. As older structures reach the end of their lifecycle and flood resiliency requirements reshape the market, the next generation of coastal homes must do more than simply maximize square footage. They need to respond intelligently to site constraints, changing building requirements, long-term durability, and the way people actually want to live near the water. 2908 Avenue B is Modus Builders’ first speculative residential development on Anna Maria Island — a project developed by RJ Diaz and David Gizys with architectural collaboration from James Losee and the team at JTL Custom Design Studios.

The design includes approximately 2,700 square feet of conditioned living space with additional outdoor terraces, rooftop entertaining areas, elevator access, and integrated indoor-outdoor living environments designed for both full-time residents and seasonal ownership. For Modus Builders, projects like 2908 Avenue B represent more than construction activity. They represent an ongoing effort to better understand what thoughtful development can look like along Florida’s Gulf Coast — especially within highly constrained coastal environments where design, planning, and execution must work together from the outset. As Sarasota and the barrier islands continue to evolve, we believe there is increasing demand for homes that feel intentional — homes that balance beauty, resilience, functionality, and long-term value without excess. 2908 Avenue B is an early expression of that direction.
