Lowndes Advises Timbers Company on Joint Acquisition of South Seas Island Resort

Lowndes represented Timbers Company, the company behind Timbers Resorts, in the joint acquisition of the iconic South Seas Island Resort. Timbers Company joined with Wheelock Street Capital and The Ronto Group in the acquisition of the 330-acre resort and wildlife preserve and estuary, which is located on 2.5 miles of white-sand beaches on Captiva Island, Fla.

Founded in 1946, the resort provides 434 accommodations, including hotel guestrooms and suites, one to three-bedroom condominiums, and private homes, cottages and homes of distinction rentals. Resort amenities and activities include 20 swimming pools, beachfront golf, tennis, full-service spa, dining, children's programs, watersports and boutique shopping. Timbers Company intends to expand the resort’s services and amenities, with long-term plans for a restoration of the resort. 

The acquisition follows the recent announcement of Timbers Company’s repositioning plans to introduce new Timbers Resorts locations and launch additional brands. Securing a coastal Florida resort location was one of the company’s primary goals following its relocation to Florida from Colorado.

Timbers Company is the developer and operator of a collection of luxury properties in over 16 of the world's most exclusive high-end destinations. The Timbers Collection includes boutique resorts, hotels and private residence clubs in some of the world's most sought-after ski, golf, leisure and beach locations. 

Lowndes CEO and President William T. Dymond, Jr. (Hospitality & Leisure) represented Timbers Company during the acquisition.
