Company Plans Major Renovations to Upgrade Mangrove Marina and Sombrero Resort and Marina NORTH PALM BEACH, FL/PRNewswire/ -- Summit Development, a diversified real estate development company with offices in North Palm Beach, said it has acquired two prominent marina properties in the Florida Keys -- Mangrove Marina (top left photo) in Tavernier and The Sombrero Resort and Marina (middle right photo) in Marathon.
Summit said it will undertake extensive renovations to upgrade both properties.
Summit Development, which is actively seeking office, retail, residential, hotel and marina opportunities throughout South Florida, has wide-ranging experience in property acquisition, renovation and management.
The company specializes in repositioning under-performing real estate assets.Summit Development President Felix Charney said the two marina properties will require major investment to restore them.
"While both are clearly in need of work, that does not diminish their inherent value in terms of their location and potential.
"We see tremendous opportunities with respect to the marinas. We have spent the last 15 months looking at under-performing assets in South Florida and these two locations stood out," he said.
Robert Charney, who oversees Summit's Florida operations, noted that Summit recognizes the importance both locations play in the Keys.
"It is obvious that the deterioration of these two properties has been a cause for concern.
"We are well-financed and are confident that we can accomplish a repositioning of the two sites that will once again make them the valuable component of the Keys business community that they can and should be."
Summit acquired the two sites from Sun Vest Communities, the successor to Cay Clubs.
Robert Charney said: "We want to assure the Keys community and our visitors that under Summit's ownership the two properties will be properly renovated so that they can regain their prominence in the community."
