We live by these credos
Common sense is essential, but is uncommon.
Focus on protecting the downside and letting profits run. Acquire assets that have low risk of loss and stellar yield opportunities.
Even the best ventures can be hit with market disruptions so we structure purchase terms and operate frugally to protect against that downside.
We believe in teamwork, but not in large cumbersome teams.
We believe in small, effective meetings with the best brain trust to talk through solutions, and then execute with a minimum of bureaucracy
We believe in projects that create transformational experiences for guests and meaningful livings for the people associated with the venture.
We only undertake projects that serve a beneficial purpose and can serve as models of commercially feasible, sustainable development. We want to set high standards in the design, development, and operation of the property.
