Lisa Van Dien – London Bay Development Group and London Bay Homes
On a quiet stretch of coastline in Bonita Springs, a marina opened its docks for the first time just days before this interview took place. For Lisa Van Dien, general counsel and vice president of London Bay, the moment marked something much larger. She remembers standing on land that was once a 30-acre raw, undeveloped parcel and now, along with the adjacent 500+ acre property, also owned by London Bay, anchors a 1,500-plus-unit community complete with a golf course, a Ritz-Carlton Residences tower, and a restaurant from celebrated chef Michael Mina. It is the kind of transformation that has come to define her career at the company, and one she never expected when she left journalism school with no plan to practice law.
