On June 7th, I first reported about a proposed new law that will make it easier to redevelop existing condominium projects. The proposed law has now been signed by Governor Charlie Crist. The new Condominium Termination Law will affect about 1.5 million existing condominium owners. Most directly affected will be the oldest waterfront condominiums. These older condos in prime waterfront locations have always been sought after by developers looking to build new projects. In the past many developers have bought out the existing owners and were often forced to pay high premiums to holdouts that refused to sell. In the past condominiums could not be bought out unless every owner was willing to sell. Under the new law only 80 percent of the owners will be required to give consent to sell. Condominiums in Sarasota that are most likely to be effected are Pier 550 on golden Gate Point, Sarasota Harbour East and Sarasota Harbour West.
A new law in Florida will make it far easier to redevelop older condominium properties on golden Gate Point. The new expected to become effective in July will provide that all owners of an existing condominium development may be bought out so long as there is 80 percent consenting. Currently many condominium documents state that all owners must agree to sell. Already there are many new condominiums along Golden Gate Point. The new law will and the new street and lanscaping improvements soon to begin on Golden Gate Point are sure to usher in change during the next few years.
