Overview

Park Street Tuscany is seeking $20 million to acquire and further develop the Tuscany National Resort & Club, a resort property in Cortona Italy, in the Tuscany Region of Italy (made famous by Under the Tuscan Sun). The Resort is surrounded by the vineyards, the Tuscan landscape and the golf course (Tuscany National will be an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Gary Player Design)

Opportunity

  • Acquiring and operating a quality resort/golf destination in Italy which is one of the most visited countries in the world with more than sixty-eight million annual visitors – over 22 million of those visitors go to the Tuscany region

 

  • Italy has a tremendous opportunity for growth in golf. Only 256 golf courses for a population of approximately 60 million, or about one golf course per 250,000 residents (the US has one golf course per 23,000 residents)

 

  • Italy has had very high barriers to development due to authorities that do not want to disturb history, and the variables in development permissions from local mayors and regional governments.

 

  • These development barriers will, in the view of management, be accretive to the resort’s value over time

Solution/Strategy

Acquire, reposition, and actively manage the project to reposition, stabilize occupancy and produce long-term growth.    

The sponsors expect to affiliate the property with Preferred Hotels & Resorts (“Preferred”) to become part of Preferred’s iconic 650 worldwide independent hotel and resort destinations across over 85 countries


The resort will be a boutique luxury destination attracting travelers from all over the world, as well as the local Italian population
