Steve,

Thank you for all the hard work needed to keep this redevelopment going on the previous Ann Arbor Country Club. I would be happy to recommend your firm, Schafer Development.

As with many other courses in the country; we were unable to keep our doors open due to the lingering financial downturn. Despite many prosperous years, Our club spent the better part of the past decade floundering at a loss. We decided it would be best to shutter the club and seek another investment opportunity with our site. Steve contacted us and began working very diligently and ultimately found the best redevelopment package that maximized our properties development value.

Steve and his staff of experts were able to secure rezoning and government approvals as well as dealing with numerous adjacent property owners that were not to keen on seeing the golf course redeveloped. Steve was able to get a deed restriction on the property lifted; where many members of the community wanted us to be unused green space, Steve and Schafer Development were able to preserve our economic recuperation of our investment. I have done many developments around the country and Schafer Development are without a doubt, the best choice for achieving the utmost economic potential from your property.
