We enhance the value
of unique places
to enrich the lives
of extraordinary people.
We Make Your
Best Place Better
After decades of building and owning portfolios of institutional-quality investment properties throughout the United States, we created élan to provide sophisticated development and asset management services to the high-end recreational property market. We curate and lead teams of innovative designers and exceptional craftspeople to develop and operate timeless properties in naturally beautiful places for the benefit and enjoyment of our clients.
We’re much more than traditional owners’ representatives or project managers. We think and behave like owners because we’ve always been owners. We understand the challenges of managing complex properties. We recognize that construction completion is only the first step as an owner and not the finish line. We have learned to anticipate changes that will impact our investments for as long as we own them. We have a mastery of high level property issues, the expertise to handle the smallest details, and the humility to get our hands dirty on your behalf.
We Start with Why
Everything we do is dedicated to your purpose. We seek more from life: broader experiences, stronger relationships, better health. We love the land, and we respect the heritage of those who have lived on it in the past. We honor our responsibility to protect and improve unique places for those who will enjoy them in the future. We invest our time and devote our talents to help people who share these values.
Our process has been proven for decades, allowing us to create and preserve billions of dollars of value across a diverse portfolio of properties. We're passionate about achieving the full potential of your special place, regardless of the scope and scale of your vision.
