Vandyk Group of Cos. plans Golden Gate condos

Canadian developer Vandyk Group of Cos. has chosen Sarasota as its entry point into the U.S. market. Vandyk USA has announced plans to develop a mid-rise condominium building on Golden Gate Point.

Vandyk ended up in Sarasota after its president and CEO, John Vandyk, became familiar with the area when visiting Canadian friends who live here seasonally.

“He came down here, and he just fell in love with the place,” Karin Silver, vice president of marketing and sales for Vandyk USA, told the Sarasota Observer. “He calls it a little cultural haven, a hidden jewel.”
