University Parkway corridor, north Sarasota County (Sarasota–Bradenton area)
University Town Center
A major Sarasota-area destination for shopping, dining and entertainment.
Why Go
University Town Center sits at I-75 and University Parkway with two connected layers: the enclosed Mall at University Town Center, and a surrounding open-air district of standalone restaurants and big-format retail around it. It's Sarasota's primary high-end retail hub — worth the drive specifically when shopping is the plan for the day, not a quick browse.
The Mall at UTC
Saks Fifth Avenue · Macy's · Dillard's · Apple
The Broader UTC District
Marshalls · HomeGoods · PGA TOUR Superstore · Barnes & Noble
Dining
Yard House, Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar, Selva Grill and Ford's Garage sit in the outdoor district around the mall, alongside Mote SEA.
MAX Insider Tip — Not the pick for a Downtown Sarasota guest who wants a casual coffee or a quick browse — this is a specific shopping destination, worth a dedicated half-day rather than a stop on the way to somewhere else.
