Beachwalk

In 2012 Encore acquired a defaulted mortgage out of bankruptcy at a 86% discount to peak (2005) purchase price of an entitled, undeveloped 550 acre parcel in a highly-desirable and growing residential area south of Jacksonville, FL. Encore developed a master planned community with over 800 lots for sale to six different homebuilders. The community was designed around a 14-acre man-made Crystal Lagoon and includes 2 schools, parks and outdoor areas, commercial/office space and a retail village with waterfront dining, shopping, recreation, and entertainment.

Mirada

In 2013 Encore partnered and acquired out of bankruptcy a large parcel of land entitled for over 4,500 lots at a 90% discount to peak 2007 valuation. Encore enhanced the previously approved site plan to differentiate the project and optimize absorption pace. Over 2,600 lots have been sold or are under contract with several of the largest homebuilders in the U.S., including a joint venture between Encore and a public builder to create an active adult community with 804 units.

Reunion

In 2011 and 2013 Encore acquired the Community Development District (“CDD”) bonds collateralized by a master-planned community near Disney World in Orlando, Florida (“Reunion”). The bonds were acquired at a significant discount to face value. Encore sold off the performing bonds while foreclosing on the non-performing bonds to gain title to the land, and using the cash balance to develop the project. Encore developed its own vacation rental community which included 750+ homes, a clubhouse, and waterpark. Encore also developed and sold a 300+ unit apartment building on the site, and developed two golf course communities including one in conjunction with Jack Nicklaus (“The Bears Den”).

One South

Encore acquired an under-performing strip mall on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach, CA. Encore razed the mall then developed 68 entry-level townhomes, and six commercial units.

Otay Ranch

In 2019 Encore acquired 35 partially developed lots and four existing model homes within the Otay Ranch Village 2 community in Chula Vista, CA from a financially distressed seller. The fully entitled parcel is in a mostly built out community of 2,624 homes. The four model homes were refurbished and sold within three months of property acquisition and Encore is currently developing the remaining land into lots and/or homes.

Hollywood

Encore developed an assemblage of ten parcels across 2-acre site into 368 apartments and an expansive commercial space in the rapidly growing “South of Sunset” creative district of Hollywood, CA.
