This spring, John Paget & Chris Elisara, of First and Main Media, produced the pilot episode for a series entitled American Makeover. The pilot focused on Atlanta (or Sprawlanta, as it was described), and Glenwood Park in particular.
My friend and extraordinary all-round beach athlete Todd Clark was kind to turn me on to this site:
Las Catalinas Information 2-10-10
Our ace trail building crews have created a new hiking trail through the central high peaks of Las Catalinas. This is one of the most dramatic hikes you will ever experience with stunning views in all directions. The trail is generally in the open, on the ridgeline, artfully looping back and forth ...

Here are some construction photos from last week, plus just a few others I couldn't help including. Two houses are essentially finished, and three more very close. It is all very exciting for those of us involved. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
Saturday night after dinner I went for a walk with my six year old son. We stopped in to visit a couple of different families in our Atlanta neighborhood. It was nice. As we walked I realized that we have never, ever, driven to visit someone without arranging it ahead of time. Not in this ...
In mid-February, just off the coast of Las Catalinas, a lucky group of passengers aboard the catamaran "Lazy Lizard" were treated to an amazing show with mother and baby Humpbacks breaching the water. The mother was much larger than the 32 foot boat. The whales seemed to be showing off for the ...
On Thursday evening we had a great party at Plaza Danta (Las Catalinas' main beachfront plaza) for some of our local friends. It was a near spur of the moment idea, but it took on a life of its own and we had over 125 people attend! Kudos to the whole Las Catalinas team, especially Alvaro Vargas ...
I suffer in winter. Here I sit in Atlanta gazing out at a drizzly 37 degrees Fahrenheit. But in Las Catalinas this time of year the weather every day is pretty much guaranteed to be perfect. Warm and sunny, low humidity, a nice breeze. Bob Davey calls it Ground Hog Day - after the movie where the ...
We are extremely fortunate to have two exceptionally high quality private schools located very close to Las Catalinas. Just down the road in Flamingo is the La Paz Community School. La Paz is only three years old - but it's success and growth so far is astounding! The school is non-profit, targets ...

This is something that I wrote back in June of 2006 when we were still working on getting the Las Catalinas land under contract. I can't believe I haven't posted it here before now! A rewrite today would mention a few things that are omitted here. But not much else would change. I know, because a ...
This summer, we intend to host a few groups of prospective buyers at Las Catalinas. If you'd like to be a part of one of these visits, please contact us for details about dates and accommodations.
I was in Las Catalinas last week and I need to catch up on some posts related to that very enjoyable trip. On Thursday morning I was out for a hike and as I was descending from Windy Peak I heard some commotion in the trees. There were at least a dozen white-faced Monkeys making their way through ...
People sometimes ask me, Why, of all the things you could be doing, are you working on Las Catalinas? (I suspect this is because of the vastly lower prestige associated with being a real estate developer vs. being a technology entrepreneur.) Here is my answer.
