Hamptons Luxury Homes
Announces that Northway Island Associates Secures Land for
a planned Hundred Million Dollar Plus Development Project
Hamptons Luxury Homes is a 10% Shareholder of Northway
Island Associates, Inc.
Bridgehampton, NY (date) – Hamptons Luxury Homes (OTCBB:HLXH),
a luxury homebuilder of custom estate homes and an integrated
construction services company, today announced that Northway
Island Associates, in which the company had acquired a 10%
ownership interest two years ago, when its wholly owned
subsidiary, DWD Construction Services, Inc., entered into a
consulting agreement with Northway, is prepared to commence
development of the North Country Entertainment Complex located
in upstate New York.
Northway Island Associates, Inc. of Utica, NY, announced last
week, it has closed on its purchase of approximately 928 acres
of land to develop an entertainment complex in the St. Lawrence
area that is expected to attract tourists from both the U.S.
and Canada. The land, located in Brasher and Massena,
New York, is slated for use as a motor sports park with retail
and entertainment components. In an earlier announcement Northway
described the possibility of locating a casino at the complex. “The
acquisition of this property is the first major step in the
development of the North Country Entertainment Complex,” said
Frank Dalene, president of DWD Construction Services and Vice
President/Chief Financial Officer of Hamptons Luxury Homes.
“We believe this project has tremendous potential to
completely revitalize an economically stagnant area,” said
Roy Dalene, president and CEO of Hamptons Luxury Homes. “In
addition to providing great benefit to the community, which
has been hard hit by the closings of manufacturing plants as
well as the downsizing of former large employers in the area,
it may also contribute to Hamptons Luxury Homes’ revenue
and earnings in future years as a result of our 10% ownership
interest.”
During the past two years, Hamptons’ wholly-owned subsidiary,
DWD Construction Services, Inc. provided consulting services
to Northway Island Associates concerning management, marketing,
financial planning, strategic planning, corporate organization
and structure, financing, expansion of services, and business
opportunities and reviewed and advised Northway regarding its
overall progress, needs and condition. This included
providing advice regarding recruitment and employment of executives;
identification, evaluation, structuring, negotiating and closing
of joint ventures, strategic alliances, business opportunities
and corporate financing. In return, DWD Construction
was compensated with a 10% ownership in Northway Island Associates. “We
believed that once this project got started it could have the
potential to eventually generate benefits to Hamptons Luxury
Homes,” said Dalene. “And we remain committed
to continue our consulting services in order to see this project
through its next phase and beyond.”
Northway Island Associates recently announced that it plans
to begin Phase I engineering activity for the multimillion
dollar project as it enters the permitting process required
prior to the design and construction of the planned facilities.
