Blue Ridge Partners — The Principals Roles and Responsibilities

Developer Profiles

Renowned for their innovative design and execution, this development team has created a number of the South’s most recognized golf and waterfront properties — including eight highly successful golf course communities, prestigious residential neighborhoods and high-end office and retail properties. Now, they are joining forces in a singular vision for this project. Full company details are provided as an appendix, and following are summaries of the principals and their strengths and experiences:

Atlantis Development, LLC
With a successful track record stretching over 30 years, Pete Bailey Jr. and Frank Callaway are the principal developers of more than 20 lakefront communities encompassing some 35 miles of shoreline, primarily in partnership with International Paper. The majority of these projects were on regulated lakes (Georgia Power-owned), where water quality issues were of paramount concern. The golfing press has been quick to praise several of these projects, lauding Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee — designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw — as #2 in "America’s Best Residential Golf Course" (Golf Week, November 2003). The Audubon Society also noted the environmental stewardship demonstrated at the Cuscowilla development.

Noteworthy projects include:

Cuscowilla on Lake OconeeIn development since 1994, this special course is ranked 14th on Golfweek's top 100 Modern Courses and rated #1 Best Residential Golf Course in America in 2004 - Golfweek Magazine.
