When our founder, David Shakarian, first envisioned Bonita Bay more than 20 years ago, he was way ahead of his time. He saw the potential then for something that had not been done before: a community where people would live in harmony with nature.

For more than two decades we have not only remained true to David Shakarian’s vision, we have exceeded it. Throughout our communities wetlands are preserved, natural flow ways are restored and water-conservation efforts are practiced to ensure the protection of this precious resource. Today, the principles of sustainable development are the cornerstone of our mission. We are committed to development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We recognize that whatever action we take today — each road we pave, each community we create, each business we open or close — can have long-term consequences for the health, happiness and economic viability of our future generations.
