LandMar Group has moved its corporate headquarters to larger office space on Jacksonville’s Southside.
The development firm’s new address is 10739 Deerwood Park Blvd., Suite 300. LandMar occupies more than 14,000 square feet in the Deerwood Park office complex — nearly double the size of its former Centurion Parkway location.
“The primary reason for our move was to place the fast-growing LandMar team in an environment where it could continue to excel,” said Roger Postlethwaite, chief operating officer of LandMar. “With new office technology and more room to work, we now have the resources to pursue our varied interests more efficiently.”
The Deerwood Park office accommodates the operations of LandMar Group; Hampton Golf, an affiliated company which employs nearly 500 people and coordinates the design and construction of all LandMar golf courses; and the headquarters of the Monique Burr Foundation for Children. The new office space accommodates nearly 50 and serves as the corporate headquarters for LandMar’s 125-person team that now includes offices in Palm Coast, Tampa, Ft. Myers, Orlando and St. Marys, Ga.
LandMar has been actively pursuing new community development prospects in these regions of Florida and Georgia during the past several years and has developed several premier master-planned communities, golf courses, condominiums and mixed-use projects.
LandMar’s development pace has been brisk in 2005, with several new communities launched and more on the drawing board. The company is laying the groundwork for a new master-planned community in Clay County called Saratoga Springs and is developing the Shipyards property on the St. Johns riverfront in downtown Jacksonville.
LandMar has opened its first project in the Ft. Myers housing market with River Hall, a new master-planned community with a Davis Love III signature golf course. Winding River is underway as a new planned community in St. Marys. A new community in Lakeland is now under full development with an opening planned for January 2006. It also is preparing to start development of a major new master-planned community and golf course for the Orlando market in Clermont.
LandMar is pursuing additional opportunities for master-planned communities and condominiums throughout Southeast Georgia and across Florida.
New projects at Hampton Golf have been just as prolific. The company currently manages seven golf courses in Florida and Georgia. Hampton Golf expects to have three more golf courses under construction soon with two additional projects expected to occur during the next two years.
“Our office move is part of a strategic plan to manage our growth in the most comprehensive way possible,” Postlethwaite said.
