Golden Gate Point is a compact waterfront peninsula off the Ringling Causeway, wrapped by Sarasota Bay and a short walk from Main Street. It is almost entirely condos: low- and mid-rise buildings like Aqua, Majestic Bay, The Owen, One88, La Bellasara, The Pearl, and Peninsula. Every unit has its own layout, and every condo kitchen comes with its own set of building rules.
CMK Construction has completed thousands of kitchen remodels across the region, and condo work is where our design-build model earns its keep. We open galley kitchens toward the water where the floor plan allows, reroute plumbing within the constraints of a concrete slab, and handle the association's architectural review alongside the City of Sarasota permits. Selections happen in person at our Sarasota Design Studio, so nothing gets lost between design and construction.
From professional cabinet installation to full gut remodels, CMK handles every part of your kitchen remodel.
Custom and semi-custom cabinets that finally run to the ceiling, plus oversized islands with the seating and storage builder kitchens never had.

We remodel condo kitchens throughout the Golden Gate Point peninsula and the surrounding downtown Sarasota waterfront. Here's a look at the buildings and areas we work in most.
Don't see your building? Call us. We remodel throughout Golden Gate Point (34236) and the downtown Sarasota waterfront.
Golden Gate Point is a peninsula of waterfront condos off the Ringling Causeway: buildings like Aqua, La Bellasara, The Owen, and Peninsula, wrapped by Sarasota Bay on three sides. The views are the whole point of living here, but many original kitchen layouts turn their backs on the water.
Closed-off galley kitchens. Walls that box in the cook while the bay sits on the other side of the drywall. Layouts that made sense to a builder years ago and don't match how owners live now. The units have the location, but the kitchens often don't take advantage of it.
We specialize in open-layout conversions that work within a concrete building while giving you the kitchen the view deserves. Interior walls opened where the structure allows. Plumbing rerouted within the slab. The association's architectural review handled alongside the City of Sarasota permits, deliveries and debris run through the service elevator, and common areas protected the whole way. The result is a kitchen that finally faces Sarasota Bay.
Golden Gate Point owners have choices. Here's why thousands of clients have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.

Real reviews from Golden Gate Point condo kitchen remodel clients across buildings like Aqua, La Bellasara, The Owen, and Peninsula, and the downtown Sarasota waterfront.
"Our Golden Gate Point condo kitchen remodel with CMK was everything we hoped for. The galley layout had bothered us for years, and CMK opened it toward the bay. The design session at their Sarasota Design Studio made every choice easy, and our project manager was on-site through the whole build. The finished kitchen is stunning."
"CMK did our Golden Gate Point condo kitchen from top to bottom. Custom cabinets, quartz island, new plumbing within the slab. Our project manager Davis kept us informed every day, coordinated the service elevator, and handled the association approval and the City of Sarasota permit without a hitch."
"We wanted a kitchen that made the most of the water views in our La Bellasara unit. CMK understood that immediately. New cabinets, quartz countertops, updated plumbing, and a layout that finally opens toward Sarasota Bay. Worth every penny."
"CMK reworked the closed-off kitchen in our Peninsula condo into an open space. Design, permits, demo, finish work. They handled everything through the association and the City of Sarasota. The unit feels twice as big now."
"After interviewing four contractors, we chose CMK. Once we got started, they sat us down in a real studio to select every finish in person with the samples in hand. The PM kept the whole project on schedule. Kitchen is gorgeous. Highly recommend."
"Our Golden Gate Point condo kitchen needed a full gut. CMK pulled every City of Sarasota permit, managed every inspection, coordinated with building management, and delivered on schedule. Clean work, honest pricing, no surprises."
Most owners only remodel a condo kitchen once or twice in their lives, which makes vetting a contractor harder than it should be. These are the questions worth asking any company you consider, not just CMK, especially when the work happens inside a shared building.
Why it matters: Unlicensed contractors can void your homeowner's insurance and leave you personally liable for code violations.
Good answer: A state-issued CGC license number printed on every estimate, plus general liability and workers' comp on file. CMK is CGC 1516665 with Registered Electrical Contractor ER 13016498.
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every City of Sarasota permit, prepares the association's architectural review, and schedules every inspection at no extra charge, start to finish.
Why it matters: Without a named project manager, you'll spend the build chasing updates from a salesperson who's already moved on to the next deal.
Good answer: A named PM, a real person you can call, who visits the job multiple times per week and communicates daily.
Why it matters: "We stand behind our work" is not a warranty. Get it in writing before you sign.
Good answer: A written, named warranty that covers both workmanship and materials for at least one year. CMK's Peace of Mind Warranty does both.
Why it matters: Catalog-only selections lead to surprises on install day. Tile and stone look completely different under real lighting.
Good answer: A real, walkable showroom where you handle cabinet doors, countertop slabs, tile samples, and fixtures before anything is ordered. The CMK Sarasota Design Studio on Clark Rd is open to active clients.
Why it matters: "It'll take a few months" is not a schedule. Vague timelines almost always slip.
Good answer: A written project schedule with named milestones (demo, rough-in, cabinet install, countertop template, final inspection) and weekly progress updates.
