Phase 1 for us is filled with Magic… Phase 1, approximately 300 acres in 4 sub phases, initiated with infrastructure / utilities, outdoor fields and courts, and BoxOute BoxOute park is inspired by Boxi (in Central Florida), but in our case, service starting for all soccer moms out with their kiddos at 7 AM on the weekends. Cheers to all you, super moms! BoxOute will run 7 AM to 7 PM on most days, with 7 to 11 on Fridays and Saturdays We are building this project, over the course of the next 25 years give or take, to a tri-county (underserved counties) impact of $2B+ Why there? That’s my home town. I was born there. Went to High School there. Started College there. My name is etched on a Federal Courthouse GSA facility there. I vowed to come back and give back What most people can’t understand of Real Estate Development, when your end goal is the long game—operations and management— you HAVE to broadly conceptualize and really plan the brands and human experiences of the place (beyond the setting of cap stacks / financing and beyond the technicality of the delivery of the place) Personally I thrive in this work Yes, it is true most Real Estate Developers push a spreadsheet and work to sell. We do not start that way, in fact try to avoid it In our team, we envision the best most incredible human experience, and reverse engineer the Real Estate Development task from there. I don’t start with a budget, I start with a community Perhaps it is not the smartest way… reality has taught us (and me) it definitely makes things far more difficult, and really slower But we stay focused—and really proud— to be driving forward for quality of experience first Once I read, and I’m paraphrasing here : “if you can do incredible life-changing work, work that no one else could do, that is what you should be doing…” They were speaking to me directly. We only have one life, why waste it in meaningless energy exertion? See, I’ve been in industry 25 years. Only the last 8 (which really might be only the last 5) I can say I have worked on this very meaningful unique-to-me and unique-to-our-team work. There is nothing more fulfilling, and I know there will be nothing more rewarding that being able to say… It was HARD really hard, but we did it. We built these amazing outcomes. Most people gave up on us, but we didn’t give up on humans. We didn’t give up on our commitment to make lives better, healthier. We get to be free to do something that really matters. That is what we are doing at Ponte Health. Happy Tuesday, and Election Day! Follow our SPRTX Club project as we make our motions forward toward something truly life changing for people (and for some people who really need it!) Ponte Health #pontehealth
