Al-Shehail Group (Riyadh) / Hopkins Development | As land development consultants we provided a project feasibility for a golf community, with market study, capital budget estimate, and financial projections. Residential product recommendations for the single-family and attached housing units in the development were provided, along with facilities suggestions for a community clubhouse that could support golf as well as additional outdoor recreation offerings.

The project had the working name, Mountain Meadows Golf Community, of McGaheysville, Virginia. McGaheysville is situated near the south fork of Shenandoah River in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.

This due diligence and feasibility evaluation was to support the Al-Shehail Group of Companies’ potential investment. The site for this to-be-built master-planned residential golf community is situated in rolling meadow lands and foothills near McGaheysville, near Massanutten Ski Resort. The 300-acre project included 420 units in this master-planned golf community.

Following the due diligence effort, StoneCreek Partners was retained by the Al-Shehail Group to revamp and fine-tune the project master plan. Objectives included maximization of the housing along 16,900 lineal feet of golf course frontage. Project naming and naming conventions were also reworked, and golf signature holes were configured to minimize and balance on-site grading. An interesting aspect of the residential product placement on the site, was providing both a direct view onto golf as well as onto the scenic “long views” onto surrounding Shenandoah Valley foothills and mountains.

The master planning work was directly based on the project feasibility for golf community, previously prepared.

Project feasibility study for recreation park to be located in the primary visitor corridor in the Wyoming and Montana region. The project site is situated with stunning views along the Tongue River, looking on to the Bighorn National Forest and various mountain peaks in the distance.

As part of of preparing a long-range economic development program for the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, specific projects were identified using various existing tribal assets and resources. The tribe’s Thunder Child property could be developed as a significant recreation adventure park given its relative proximity to U.S. Highway 90 which traverses the greater Sheridan (Wyoming) area bordering southern Montana.

The project also has the potential for repurposing of a former 22,000 SF health services rehabilitation center on the property, into a lodge and destination conference center for the facility. Following its initial development and health services operation, the building has been shuttered but reasonably maintained for re-use.

Newfield Enterprises International | Due diligence for resort acquisition, involving a master-planned golf community in development in Lovenlund (on St Thomas) in the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”). The due diligence was prepared on behalf of an international family office (based in Riyadh) considering an investment in, or outright acquisition of the property.

Our due diligence work for this resort acquisition included a review of historic operating results, the appeal of the community’s residential product to buyers, repair and maintenance issues, and staffing matters. A forecast of expected operating performance was prepared, along with a budget for upgrading the property to assure continued first-class operations.

The Mahogany Run Golf Course that was one component of the prospective acquisition, had been completed in 1980. The course enjoyed a top reputation with its design by George and Tom Fazio. At the time of the due diligence, Mahogany Run was the only golf course on St. Thomas island. Another interesting feature of the property is the historic Old Stone Farm House Restaurant, situated in a restored farm building on the 300-acre former Lovendahl (Danish) sugar plantation.

Lovenlund is a settlement near Magens Bay on the north side of the island of Saint Thomas. St. Thomas along with Saint John, and Saint Croix, form a county and constituent district of the USVI.
