Bobby Julien has led The Kolter Group into several diversified markets.

Commercial Real Estate

The Kolter Group was founded in 1997 with the development of the 1,200-home Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton.

Soon after that the company and its founder, Bobby Julien, entered into a joint venture to develop the Water Club on Longboat Key. That in turn provided an introduction to Sarasota.

In March 2005, Kolter snapped a roughly three-acre lot at U.S. 41 and Gulfstream Boulevard in Sarasota for $40 million — a record land price per acre at the time — and unveiled plans for the Grande Sarasotan, a luxury condo tower.
