“WHETHER IT’S NEW CONSTRUCTION OR HISTORIC PRESERVATION, WE CREATE VALUE WHEN SOME ASPECT OF THE PROJECT — FINANCE, ARCHITECTURE, ENVIRONMENT OR ENTITLEMENT — PRESENTS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE OR OPPORTUNITY.”
—DAN SMITH, President, Desert Troon Companies
CREATING VALUE
DTC works hard to accelerate the success of its developments. The company often creates and operates businesses to establish tenancies and encourage additional commitments. “We’ve started banks, created surgery centers, and operated hotels,” Dan says. “We have the flexibility to do what it takes to create value and get a great return.”
A PASSION FOR CHALLENGE
The development philosophy at DTC has always been one of exceeding expectations. “That’s how we build relationships with financial partners, governments, environmental groups and tenants on a local and national level,” says Dan.
And it’s these relationships that allow DTC to take on the kind of challenges that scare others away. “People have confidence in us,” Dan explains. “We do unusual projects, but we’re very practical about them and we always finish what we start.”
