SARASOTA -- Fresh from a successful takeover of a premier downtown waterfront property, Realtor Vicki Mann has set her sights on an even bigger target -- the one thousand feet of bayfront dirt underneath Sarasota Harbour East.

The plucky Brit says a developer is willing to pay $1 million to $1.3 million to the owners of all 84 condominiums, which sit behind a stretch of seawalls and offer a panoramic view of Sarasota Bay.

To make the numbers work, a developer would likely need to charge a minimum of $3 million per unit.Mann's move on Harbour East is another chapter in what is becoming a hot niche of the real estate market.

Running out of open space on which to build multimillion-dollar condos, developers are being irresistibly drawn to the city's older stock for redevelopment.The overall $102 million purchase price for Harbour East -- along Ringling Causeway between the bridge and St. Armands Key -- works out to $18.6 million per acre.
