1991-2004
Southworth Development’s Founder & CEO, David Southworth, began his master-planned community development career in 1991 as the President & CEO of Willowbend Development LLC. Willowbend became a partnership owned by Paul Fireman of Reebok fame and David Southworth. From 1991 until 2005, the partners developed the communities of Willowbend on Cape Cod, The Westin Rio Mar Beach Resort & Country Club in Puerto Rico, the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort in Tucson, Arizona, Coco Beach Golf & Country Club in Puerto Rico and Liberty National, an exclusive club community overlooking the Statue of Liberty on New York Bay.
2005-2010
In 2005, Southworth Development was formed, and David continued to develop master-planned communities, beginning with a project on the west coast of Scotland called The Village at Machrihanish Dunes. The spectacular Village at Machrihanish Dunes consists of an acclaimed David McLay Kidd-designed links golf course, two beautifully restored historic hotels, seaside golf cottages, four dining outlets, and everything else you need to enjoy a first-class Scottish vacation.
In 2006, Southworth purchased a substantial portion of what was then called Akwa Soleil, which led to the rebranding of the community as Meredith Bay, which has grown to be the Lakes Region’s number-one new-home community.
In 2007, David’s longtime friend and one of the most respected names in the financial services industry, Joe Deitch, became his business partner and Chairman at Southworth. Joe founded Commonwealth Financial Network in 1979, and the company has since grown to become the largest privately owned broker/dealer firm in the country, with over $150 billion under management.
In 2008, Southworth purchased Renaissance in Haverhill, Massachusetts, a private club that’s home to the first Brian Silva Signature Golf Course, and was the 2006 Runner Up in Golf Inc.’s Private Club “Development of the Year” competition. It was also a national finalist in the Golf Course Owner’s Association “Course of the Year” awards in (2012). The Club’s beautiful 30,000 square-foot clubhouse opened in 2009.
In early 2009, Southworth acquired a 964-acre community outside of Washington, D.C. called Creighton Farms. Creighton Farms is an amenity-rich community in Virginia’s famed horse country centered around an award-winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. The club features stunning homes on 184 home sites and is annually the host venue of one of Washington’s most prestigious charity golf events, The Creighton Farms Invitational Hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
2011-Today
In March of 2012, Southworth announced it had come to an agreement with David’s friend and former business partner, Paul Fireman, to purchase Willowbend on Cape Cod, the club where David began his development career and served as President and CEO until 2005. This was a unique opportunity to take over stewardship of the club and community that had always been like a second home to David. Featuring 27 holes of championship golf, luxurious estate homes and villas, a world-class tennis facility, Olympic-sized pool, state-of-the-art fitness facility and spa, Willowbend has long been considered Cape Cod’s most prestigious and exclusive private enclave.
In December 2014, Southworth acquired The Abaco Club on Winding Bay, an international club and community set in its own private and secluded 534-acre island oasis in The Bahamas. Known as one of the world’s great sporting clubs, The Abaco Club is home to residences that rival the finest in any island setting. The Club features over 2 miles of white-sand beach; an acclaimed tropical links golf course, which has been consistently ranked as the #1 course in The Bahamas; tennis; a wide range of water sports, world-class bone fishing, deep-sea fishing and boating off Abaco’s famed shores and surrounding islands, and a long list of other tropical diversions.
Southworth Development is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts.
