Homebuilder sees success by sticking to niche

It’s not uncommon to spot several people pedaling down the street on three-wheel bicycles in Pinecraft. One of those people might be Albert Miller, owner of Sand Dollar Homes & Construction.

Miller, who is Amish, travels to his construction projects in Pinecraft by bike — a frequent mode of transit for car-eschewing Amish. The Sarasota neighborhood off Bahia Vista Street has been a popular destination for decades for Amish and Mennonite residents who come from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.
