The JOE company, the largest private landholder in Florida, evolved from a paper
manufacturer into an inspired and unequaled placemaker starting in 1996.
St. Joe Company (formerly St. Joe Towns and Resorts) WindMark Beach is a residential resort project on St. Joseph’s Bay in the same rural
Port St. Joe, Florida 2004-08 town that JOE’s paper mill once operated.

Managed the development of the Village Center, 6 buildings designed and built as
Assistant Project Manager, WindMark Beach one project, which comprises the majority of the commercial entitlements for the 1600
Project Manager for Village Center unit residential resort project.

Led the consultant and internal JOE teams from program development, budgeting
and design through construction and occupancy. Purview included building design for
2 restaurants, 4 mixed use buildings (retail/condo), a town hall and an administrative
building; site design; graphics and signage; furnishings; condo docs; contractor
selection and negotiation; bidding analyses; subcontractor buyouts.
Chilled Water Tower
Convinced corporate management of the financial and functional feasibility of a central
cooling plant - which the design team evolved into a visual icon: a custom-designed
evaporative cooling tower atop a 54’ high/3 story tower which houses the chillers and
pumps in the 2nd and 3rd levels – commonly perceived as a stylized water tower. The low
velocity fan in the custom evaporative tower abates the normal noise from typical high-
velocity evaporative units and the central plant eliminates the visual blight of compressor
units throughout the project. The custom designed evaporative tower was at a $150,000
premium absorbed into an $80,000,000 project.
An added value is that it occupied only a quarter of the valuable beach real estate than it
would have otherwise.
Iconic Chilled Water Tower at the Village Center
Southern Accents Showhouse
Established the budget and managed the design of the Southern Accents Showhouse at WindMark Beach – opened to the public in summer
2006. Construction was completed in 9 months, on budget, and the quality was very well received. Volunteered as a docent for the Showhouse
tours for Habitat for Humanity, which ultimately earned them $20,000 from Southern Accents Magazine and the St. Joe Company.
Custom/Local/Savings - Furniture
Designed and outsourced the manufacture of public area furniture to a JOE cypress mill and local metal/wood workers when we realized a
budget and lead-time problem coming up on opening the facilities. Not only did we save 50-67% on the costs (depending on the piece), we
were able to perfect an indigenous storyline to the custom pieces – which was very important to our “of this place” “Old Florida” ethic.
Townbuilding
Responsible and engaged citizenship is a high personal ethic, particularly when a company and its projects have a significant impact on a
particular locality.

Convinced the Owner of a severe budget overrun that was not being represented accurately by commissioning an independent estimate at 90%
complete documents and foundations being poured. Concurrently, we provided significant alternate redesigns to preserve the structural
skeleton, but changed much of the facade materials and fenestration. Ultimately, the redesigns were accepted; the majority of redesign effected
trade-by-trade thru the shop drawings; finish packages re-issued; the budget substantially preserved; and the schedule met.
