Valencia MPC Retail

Newhall Land & Farming Co.  |  StoneCreek Partners was retained by a division Marketing Dept. of this major land development company to provide advisory services in connection with ongoing business planning efforts. A focus of the work was the build-out of the retail portfolio of neighborhood and community shopping centers.

 

The project focused on application of business planning methods to support planned levels of more comprehensive future land development, including builder land residual analysis, methods of consolidating financial data for multiple projects, and aspects of financial reporting to senior management.

 

Each potential shopping center location within the master planned community, was evaluated for center type (neighborhood, community, regional, power, etc.) as well as for key anchors at each location.  Key anchors included grocery stores and c-store gas stations, among other key uses.

 

Valencia is located in the northwestern corner of the Santa Clarita Valley, a part of Los Angeles County in Southern California. In 1987, it was one of the four communities (along with Saugus, Newhall, and Canyon Country) that merged to create the city of Santa Clarita, California. Valencia was planned and developed over several decades starting in the 1960’s by The Newhall Land & Farming Company. Valencia’s master plan features paseos which allow a resident to travel around the entirety of Valencia without having to cross streets.

Project Feasibility for Golf Community

Project Feasibility for Golf Community

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.
