Our Core values
A commitment to being more than just another developer
Mission statement
Creating best in class master planned “lifestyle” communities which enrich the lives of our residents and their families while providing the highest quality, integrity, and value for our partners.
Quality
We seek to develop only high-quality assets in fundamentally excellent markets. Our management team has a long track record of developing projects of the highest quality while maintaining a commitment to value investing and utilization of investment capital.
Customers First
Our commitment is to always treat our builder partners/customers and residents as we would like to be treated if we were guests in a 5-star resort, if at all possible, “wow” them with every detail and interaction.
Fiduciary Responsibility
Our commitment is to always keep our investors’ interests ahead of our own. Not only is it our obligation and their expectation, it is good business. We do well only when our partners do well.
Coworkers Are Family
We believe that we should support each other in any way possible, with mutual respect. We should all be willing to say to each other, “How can I help you”?
Financial Stewardship
We take our responsibility as stewards of our investors’ capital quite seriously. We work hard to protect their assets.
Integrity
It is, unfortunately, an over-used and under-practiced concept. To us, integrity matters a great deal. We are committed to make every decision based on our core values and perform every task reliably, honestly and to always be fully transparent.
Environmental Stewardship
In every investment opportunity, we strive to not only do well, but to do good. That means achieving desired financial results while taking a practical approach preserving and protecting the land, emphasizing sustainable development practices, such as maximizing use of recycled water, employing green building techniques and generally leveraging state-of-the art planning strategies. In all ways we seek to minimize our environmental footprint in a practical way.
Discipline
We evaluate every investment opportunity with strict financial discipline, matching the market conditions with our investors’ criteria and goals, utilizing our experience and realistic approach. We guide our investment decisions to ensure consistent and thoughtful underwriting and modeling for evaluating opportunities and optimizing returns.
