Mesa Verde Corp. has reached an agreement with their neighboring property to form a combined development of over 800 acres. "Since both properties share a boundary and the same mesa we are able to create significant economies of scale in developing infrastructure it's mutually advantageous for the two developments to amalgamate", says Seth Phillps President of Mesa Vista Group. Now, as a joint project, the new Mesa Verde will span four kilometers of dramatic mesa edge overlooking the Sea of Cortez and the city of La Paz.

Acting on behalf of private investors Mesa Verde Corp closed today on the first 200 acres of a 500 acre acquisition. Mesa Verde Corp. Chief Financial Officer Jim Olson says, " It's a significant milestone because it immediately allows us to move forward with entitlements and subdivision, and will allow us to come to market sooner than anticipated."

Mr. Olson who attended both Northwestern University and the Universidad de Sevilla in Spain is a Group Senior Vice President and partner in one of the largest banks in the Chicago area. "As a partner in a U.S. bank I continually analyze transactions and micro markets and the La Paz area has many positive leading indicators pointing to it as an emerging market.  I have personally made a big commitment to the La Paz area not only with Mesa Verde Corp but also with my land aggregation company Frontera Propiedades S. de R.L. de C.V." says Mr. Olson. "I am really excited about this project.  We have a beautiful location, a diverse team and many unique eco elements."

Roni Simon joins Mesa Verde Development team as Vice President of Operations.   Says Stephan Jacob CEO of the Mesa Verde Development, "We are just really excited and lucky to have Roni on board.  He brings a wealth experience not only in project management but his background in organic farming will bring something truly unique to our development.  The organic gardens and orchards will not only be a tremendous asset and unique selling proposition for the Mesa Verde community but I believe it will be a model for future development communities."

Mr.  Simon has a broad international background in commercial agriculture starting with the Israeli firm AZROM and working in diverse markets around the globe including Australia,  Angola, South Africa, Zambia, Albania and Israel. Additionally, in recent years Mr. Simon has also overseen commercial and organic agriculture operations in markets throughout Mexico, including  Ensenada, Guadalajara, Mexicali, Mexico City, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Todos Santos. 

"After being involved in commercial agricultural projects as well as residential ones, I am thrilled to be involved in one that is a combination of the two", says Roni.  "I have not seen a development that so elegantly combines different aspects of healthy living, both to the people living in it and to the environment surrounding it.  That, for me, is a real achievement.  I can't wait to build my home in Mesa Verde, living a healthy lifestyle in such a peaceful location yet still being near all the amenities and culture of a city like La Paz."
