Scope

Sagewood has extensive global capabilities with experience on every continent. The company is positioned to develop projects ranging from urban hotels in major international cities to alpine, golf, desert, countryside or tropical destinations. While there is no set “template” for a project, the company seeks projects with mixed-use lifestyle components that may include sports, residential, spa and recreation for all.

Process

In evaluating new opportunities, Sagewood selectively seeks partners with a shared vision, a proven track record and a one-of-a-kind product. Sagewood provides a full complement of development services including a seasoned corporate infrastructure, financial partnering, comprehensive project management assistance during design and construction activities, marketing assistance, systems support and ongoing professional management services. Operationally, Sagewood partners with a variety of operators with luxury expertise — both branded and unbranded.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PHILOSOPHY

Preference for Sustainability

Sagewood has built its reputation on unparalleled attention to the quality of resources, whether natural or cultural. Respect for community customs and local economies is highly valued. Preservation, whether it be of a rare tree species or a sacred tradition, is embraced and honored.

Distinctions

Sagewood prides itself on creating the highest value as its standard and has received the highest accolades bestowed in the industry, from discriminating consumers, respected colleagues, global evaluation and certification companies, and world media.

SAGEWOOD RESIDENTIAL

A History of Sustainable Practices and Strong Investment Return

Sagewood’s real estate experience includes a strong background in residential development — luxury homes, vacation homes, condominiums, historic compounds and also commercial centers. These were developed with a vision toward the well-being of both inhabitants and environment. Sustainability, along with conservation and preservation practices, was at the core of some of these developments, built well before the environmental sensitivities of today. Several of these projects received peer accolades for their attention to the highest-quality materials and design sensibilities and for their architectural ingenuity. The quality and foresight engineered into these developments result in consistently increased property appraisals for owners and investors.
