About The Developer

The Peninsula On The Indian River Bay is the vision and collaboration of principals Larry Goldstein of Odyssey Development of McLean, Virginia, and brothers Steve and Art Sandler of L. M. Sandler & Sons of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

During the last three decades, these developers have created outstanding neighborhoods which have earned them the reputation as forward thinking, trusting partners for the communities in which they develop and manage.

The collaboration of this development team has garnered over 50+ awards of excellence for The Peninsula On The Indian River Bay alone.
