| Blomgren noted this is another step in Brandy's ongoing program to provide clients with the expertise and services needed at any stage of a marina or waterfront commercial real estate and marinas. That company is headed by H. John Landry and based in Winter Park, Florida. "With the new acquisition, construction clients gain the time and cost efficiency of moving on to Brandy's full menu of services as needed," said Blomgren. "At the same time, clients who have taken advantage of Brandy's other services can turn to us for construction-related needs as well." Brandy's clients include the new 199-slip city of Port St. Joe Marina in Florida's panhandle, recognized for its role in the area's economic revitalization, which Brandy operates for The Port St. Joe Marina, Inc., a subsidiary of the St. Joe Company. Brandy also serves Club Corp. Resorts; Daufuskie Island Club and Resort, a private island resort off the South Carolina coast, managing the island's marine transportation system, including passenger |
ferries, freight, excursion and charters, the Daufuskie Island Marina and Hilton Head's Salty Fare Marina. Brandy also has played a role in the development or operations of Bahi Mar, Ft. Lauderdale, Fl; Savannah Vend, Savannah, GA; the Boca Raton Resort and Club marina, Boca Raton, FL. and Hawk's Cay in Florida Keys, among scores of others. Blomgren has been a pioneer in value-added marina development and operations services. A successful entrepreneur, speaker and consultant, he has spent more than 20 years in the field throughout the United States and the Caribbean. As the founder of Brandy Marine, he established America's first "chain" of yacht marinas, in addition to providing international waterfront development consulting services. Brandy Marine offers a comprehensive range of services including planning, research and analysis, financial and funding assistance, permitting consultation, strategic planning and management for new waterfront developments. It also has a successful history |
in maximizing the value of existing marina and waterfront properties, with services that include appraisal, financial and operational analysis. The company has particular experience in developing and executing marina marketing programs, and in the hands-on management of marina operations of all sizes. Brandy Marine is also a licensed real estate broker, offering acquisition and property disposition experience. Founded in 1977 as a character company, Brandy Marine added marina management services in 1979. It has since provided management and consulting services to marina owners and operators in major resort and commercial markets throughout the United States, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and the U.S. Virgin Islands. |
