Saunders' Drews leaving for development post at Casto

Matt Drews, who has led Sarasota-based Michael Saunders & Co.’s commercial brokerage and management team for the past three-plus years, is leaving the company to join developer Casto Southeast Realty Services.

Drews, 44, will join Casto as it embarks on a number of regional projects, including the redevelopment of the Doctors Hospital property in Sarasota; a 50-acre property in Lakewood Ranch; and a $500 million, mixed-use site known as Midtown Tampa, where Casto will be developing and leasing about 240,000 square feet of retail space.
