Centex Destination Properties, Southlake, Texas Destination Resort Developer 2004 2007
As Director of Planning for the Central Mountain Division of this second home / vacation home destination resort developer, I was responsible for all development projects for this division of the company. My work began upon identification of a potential acquisition by collecting raw data, performing due diligence leading to the generation of the Program Statement and Land Yield Study which will lead to the Land Planning of the site. Projects typically consisted of a large residential component including estate home sites, lots, casitas, townhouses and low to mid-rise condominiums, plus some commercial, retail, hospitality facilities and resort amenities. My involvement covered both the big idea concept down to the most minute design details of various amenities of the project. Amenities often included: large beach clubs, multiple swimming complexes, lazy rivers, marina / yacht basin, day docks, extensive trails systems, grotto waterfall systems, amphitheaters, smoke house, fitness centers, signage and landscape. Projects typically ranged from 1000 to 1500 acres, comprising between 1200 and 2000 living units within a highly amenitized master planned mixed use community. Typical site improvement budgets approached $100 million with a total retail building out value exceeding one billion dollars. I pride myself on creating more value through excellence in design and land planning, while maximizing unit counts and creating the most desirable resort destination environment for a totally discretionary buyer. Primary projects included: The Hollows at Lake Travis, Pointe West at Galveston Island and The Waters at Horseshoe Bay.

With a staff of 20 employees and projects located in five bay area cities, projects included high density SF, condominiums and 300-acre hillside estate homes developments. Complex issues such as endangered species and wetlands reclamation, competitive permitting approvals under controlled growth ordinances were every day obstacles to overcome.
