Milton causes only brief delay in Sarasota luxury condo project

The developer of a condominium project on Sarasota Bay says back-to-back hurricanes will result in minimal delays. Peninsula Sarasota, two interconnected luxury condos being built on the 22-acre peninsula of Golden Gate Point, was largely spared by hurricanes Helene and Milton, according to developer Sam Gault.

“Our infrastructure remained unaffected, and while cleanup will take a few weeks, we anticipate only a couple-month delay in our project timeline,” says Gault, president of Connecticut-based developer Gault Family Companies.

As a result of Hurricane Milton’s powerful winds, there was tree damage, and landscaping was impacted at Peninsula Sarasota, officials say. According to the National Hurricane Center, Milton made landfall Oct. 9 near Siesta Key with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph.
