Founder and CEO Sheila C. Johnson's vision for the former horse farm of renowned Washington, DC socialite Pamela Harriman was to create a country estate that incorporates uncompromising quality, sustainable practices and healthy lifestyles to benefit resort guests and the Middleburg community alike. In support of sustainability and environmental sensitivity, the resort is registered to become one of the nation's first new luxury resorts to obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
As Owner's Representative, MGAC provided comprehensive Project Management services for the resort's development, including overseeing extensive site work and the construction of a waste-water treatment plant, as well as managing the preservation of historic properties and onsite wetlands in the bucolic Middleburg setting. MGAC's seasoned Hospitality Project Managers exercised tremendous care throughout the multi-year project to ensure that the results matched Sheila Johnson's vision of a resort that blended seamlessly into Middleburg's beautiful and tranquil landscape.
The project team included design architect WATC, architect of record Architecture, Inc., general contractor Turner Construction Company with interior design inspiration from Thomas Pheasant and interior design completion by Kent Interior Design.
The resort is just the latest success story for MGAC, which attracts and retains the best and the brightest minds in Owner's Representation and Project Management and applies those talents to the most demanding, once-in-a-generation projects, like Salamander Resort & Spa.
