Infill Inkling

Although it continues to build ground-up developments around its University Town Center hub and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast, Benderson Development Co. LLC is increasingly turning its attention to infill projects.

Fueled by population densification and other dynamics, Manatee County-based Benderson has taken on a handful of redevelopments, especially in Sarasota County, and company officials say more may be in the offing.

“In more populated areas, there are typically more opportunities for redevelopment, because of the scarcity of sites,” says Mark Chait, the company's executive director of Florida leasing.
