Now, Here’s the Absolutely True (and Documented!),
Never-Before-Told Inside Story of David’s Professional Career

After graduation from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School, David practiced at the Wall Street law firm, Davis & Cox. This firm’s clients included Howard Hughes and the English Rothchilds, whom David personally served.

David would often gaze down onto the panoramic view of New York harbor—and out toward the misty Statue of Liberty in the distance—from the vertiginous heights of the thirty-first floor of his downtown Manhattan office skyscraper.

He wished he were free to pilot one of the numerous pleasure boats—white dots on cobalt water—instead of  being stuck at his desk tied down by endless piles of paper for sixty-plus hours a week.

He wished he could somehow combine work and fun.

He would think of a well-known jewelry designer, a family friend, who was still plying his trade, although he was in his 80’s. When David asked the man what kept him working, the jeweler replied, “I bring pleasure to people.”

David thought, “All I bring is litigation.”

David reached a tipping point after emerging victorious in a patent lawsuit against corporate goliath Bausch and Lomb.

One night, he awoke at 3 a.m. with a creative idea on how his client could structure the income from his substantial settlement.

For this I went to law school?

David spent a few hours crafting an opinion letter supporting his legal treatment of the income. His saved his client seven figures in expenditures.  For this work, David billed his usual time charges.

“What’s wrong with this picture?” he thought.

At that moment, an entrepreneur was born.

When a development opportunity arose in Sugarbush, Vermont—where David owned a vacation condominium for skiing and tennis— he put away his three-piece, pin-striped suits and his Gucci loafers and seized the day.

He and his wife chucked their comfy Manhattan lifestyle for  the relatively bucolic Warren, Vermont, a five-and- a-half-hour drive from New York City.

The population at the time was about 3,000 people.

David formed an investment group with some fellow condominium owners to develop his starter project, South Village at Sugarbush. It consisted of 72 free-standing condominium vacation homes on 72 acres with ski-on/ski-off access to the slopes.

South Village at Sugarbush was cited by its lender, The Royal Bank of Canada, as a case study model for coming in on time and on budget.

David stayed on to head up the management company that cared for the property and rented it out year-round on behalf of his owners

When the time came for even more lofty challenges, David chose Telluride, Colorado—population approximately 1,900 and elevation 9,000 feet.

At Telluride, he entered into a joint venture with the owner of the ski company, Ron Allred, to develop some prime land in the very heart of Mountain Village.

The land was blessed with an exceptional location in the heart of the village—adjacent to the ski lifts, the huge hotel spa and the 18-hole golf course.

Steep and deep

Franz Klammer Lodge was the most honored fractional  real estate development of its era.

Franz Klammer Lodge won a total of nine prestigious Ardy awards—for architecture, marketing and sales and décor, among others—from the American Resort Development Association, the industry’s professional trade association.

It was Franz Klammer Lodge that coined and first used the term, Private Residence Club (“PRC”), thus creating a name and  benchmark for quality, luxury and service in fractional real estate development.

This term has since been adopted by the fractional ownership industry to designate the uppermost market niche of fractional real estate properties.
