A déjà vu moment: Last month, four residential developers told a business audience that downtown Sarasota is ripe for thousands of units of new housing, in particular, more affordable housing for young professionals. The developers—Brad Baker of Bramar Development, Jim Bridges of Jebco Ventures, Tom Mannausa of T. Mannausa & Company and Pat Neal of Neal Communities—were panelists at an Assignment Downtown Council (a Sarasota Chamberl) event. The demand is there, they said. Most condominium units downtown are rented, and in mid-June there were only 30 homes under $200,000 in the 34236 zip code for sale. Of downtown’s 23,000 employees, half are forced to drive from outside the city—many from Bradenton and North Port. Could the construction crane be making a comeback?
