South Street Partner Chris Randolph said: “This transaction represents a compelling opportunity to acquire the largest, beachfront resort located on St Simons Island out of long-term family ownership. Both the resort and golf club complement our existing portfolio of exceptional assets located in high-growth, Southeastern markets.

“We are excited to be partnering with TPG on the acquisition; our teams are well-positioned to work with the Sturdivant family, MMI, and the local community to revitalise and re-launch this iconic asset through a comprehensive renovation over the next few years.”

The joint venture looks to upgrade the 142-key resort and club offerings. Plans are on for an extensive revamp of rooms and common areas.

Located on St. Simons Island, the property will continue its operations under the MMI Hotel Group.
