Kevin Daves,

Developer of The Concession Golf Club & Residences

By Ed Bertha

Why did you choose the location?

“When I started looking around for land I was amazed at the lack of land with trees. Almost everything I looked at you needed to move a lot of earth, bring in a bunch of trees and hopefully in 30 years it would look great. I feel very fortunate to have found this parcel of land, now known as The Concession Golf Club and Residences, that was untouched.

At the time the parcel was next to Lakewood Ranch, but access to the property was off of SR 70. When Lakewood Ranch allowed me to build the road ($3 Million) and make that the new front door we kind of became part of Lakewood Ranch.

Prior to that it was considered to be too far out because of the entrance off of SR 70. Being able to enter off of University Parkway changed the dynamics.”

Is The Concession still considered far out?

“It’s funny. The only people who ask that question are from Sarasota.

People from out of town have a checklist. If I move here what’s the quality of life around me? Is there any shopping? Probably the best shopping center in the country is right down the street. How about dining? 10 or 12 of the great restaurants are within 15 minutes.

What about entertainment? You have golf, polo and more. So if you do a checklist it’s all here right around you. The quality of life couldn’t be better. I think far out has kind of gone away.”

Smiling he adds, “Of course when Lakewood Ranch first opened it

LIVING WITH NATURE

By Ed Bertha

Nestled within a verdant span of 1,200 acres, the impeccably-designed Concession Golf Club & Residences has redefined luxury within Sarasota’s premier golf communities. Anchored by an award winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the development features a myriad of residential options within the community’s distinctive neighborhoods of Lindrick and Birkdale. At The Concession, residents take full advantage of their sumptuous surroundings; from sparkling lakes and mature woodland

preserves, to commanding natural panoramas, it’s all about enjoying the Sarasota lifestyle in comfort and class.

Only 236 estate homes were planned (only 72 lots remain) for The Concession, which features a stunning landscape of 200 year old majestic oaks, towering pines and pristine wetlands.

Developer Kevin Daves reflects, “This level of density is almost unheard of in Florida. We did it because we’re very dedicated to maintaining the natural beauty that is here. That is the grandness of it, and that will always be here.”

As with the design of The Concession Golf Course, no detail has been left to chance.

The gated community offers the utmost in architecture style, and provides residents with the opportunity to enjoy all of the amenities of the world-class golf and country club while maintaining their privacy; because The Concession Golf Club features a core course, no back yard opens directly on to the greens.

Create Your Own Haven: The Neighborhoods of Lindrick and Birkdale The beautiful wooded lots within the neighborhoods of Lindrick and Birkdale range from one acre to nearly two acres, upon which

residents have the luxury of creating custom homes designed to meet their specific wants and needs. A number of award-winning master builders are available to turn a vision into reality, to make dreams come true from the ground up. Home sites start at $299,000 for a one acre estate-sized lot.

the unique needs of the club’s younger players in mind, and a fully-equipped golf clubhouse that includes gourmet dining, recreation rooms and locker rooms. If golf isn’t your thing you need not join but a culinary membership to the clubhouse’s signature restaurant may be right up your alley.

Recreational Opportunities Abound While all residents at The Concession are privy to miles of serene walking and biking paths as well as ample outdoor picnic and gathering areas, they will appreciate the wealth of amenities awaiting them at The Concession Golf Club, which features Sarasota’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. The club includes ample space for golf practice, a traditional caddie program, junior golf programs designed with

Relax and Play in Luxury Redefining today’s luxury – and the perks that come with it - is what The Concession is about. In addition to the club’s comprehensive facilities, there are also ample opportunities to unwind and entertain. Perhaps the most notable amenity available to The Concession home owners is The Concession, a nearly 60foot Selene motor yacht. A truly unique amenity The Concession is a surprisingly spacious vessel,

with a beam of 16 and a half feet. Beautifully furnished and fully staffed with a professional crew, the yacht can be rented for half or full days and is the ideal vehicle for cruising Sarasota Bay or the Gulf of Mexico. The Concession includes three staterooms, two with ensuite heads; a galley that’s integral with the main salon and a fly bridge that provides additional entertaining space. Secure walk-around decks and Portu bridge, two steering stations and bow/stern

thrusters ensure safety and ease of handling.

The Concession is well-suited for entertaining, hosting family reunions or enjoying intimate romantic getaways.

Live and Play at The Concession When exclusivity, relaxation, and a pampered lifestyle are on the menu, there is no better place to live and play than The Concession Golf Club & Residences. Luxurious and stylish, the community offers residents the opportunity to experience the pinnacle in quality living and exceptional golfing.

This, the last of the properties developed as part of the Spanish Point shores enclave has a special set of features that make it particularly interesting. The neighborhood begins to take on its charm immediately after leaving Tamiami Trail and pulling on to Webb Street which is named after John Webb the man who gave Osprey its name and established a winter resort for northerners on Little Sarasota Bay in the late 1800’s.

As you drive down Webb Street this area takes on a very special feel with large protected canopy oak trees covering the

roads giving this quiet neighborhood a nice old Florida feel. At the northern part of the neighborhood a short walk from the property is the Spanish Point Historical Park. Spanish Point has a deep history dating back to the time of the native people through to the time that Bertha Palmer made it her winter home adorning the massive property with lavish formal gardens and lawns while at the same time maintaining its historical significance which preceded her. This large bay front tract sits at 1.19 acres which slopes gently from Palmetto Avenue down to the protected waters of Little Sarasota Bay. Of note is a large basin with boat shelter and adjacent dock, something that is difficult if not impossible to build these days, a relic from a by gone time for the future owners enjoyment. The property is also conveniently located 1.5 miles from Pine View School, a nationally acclaimed learning institution.

Kevin Daves,

Developer of The Concession Golf Club & Residences

By Ed Bertha

Why did you choose the location?

“When I started looking around for land I was amazed at the lack of land with trees. Almost everything I looked at you needed to move a lot of earth, bring in a bunch of trees and hopefully in 30 years it would look great. I feel very fortunate to have found this parcel of land, now known as The Concession Golf Club and Residences, that was untouched.

At the time the parcel was next to Lakewood Ranch, but access to the property was off of SR 70. When Lakewood Ranch allowed me to build the road ($3 Million) and make that the new front door we kind of became part of Lakewood Ranch.

Prior to that it was considered to be too far out because of the entrance off of SR 70. Being able to enter off of University Parkway changed the dynamics.”

Is The Concession still considered far out?

“It’s funny. The only people who ask that question are from Sarasota.

People from out of town have a checklist. If I move here what’s the quality of life around me? Is there any shopping? Probably the best shopping center in the country is right down the street. How about dining? 10 or 12 of the great restaurants are within 15 minutes.

What about entertainment? You have golf, polo and more. So if you do a checklist it’s all here right around you. The quality of life couldn’t be better. I think far out has kind of gone away.”

What’s next for Kevin Daves?

“I’m approached all the time to develop out of the area. Why should I get on a plane? I’m zeroed in on doing things in Sarasota. I think this is still the best market to be in.
