Bonita Bay Group Company Philosophy & Core Values
Bonita Bay Group is committed to four enduring core values that define our company philosophy and organization, and guide our daily operation: to create exceptional experiences; to enhance the community through our leadership efforts; to protect our natural environment; and to conduct ourselves with integrity in everything we do.
Exceptional experiences: Our communities offer exceptional experiences and a life in harmony with one’s surroundings. Enriching our residents’ lives remains the fundamental focus of our company philosophy. This unwavering commitment to exceptional experiences guides every element of design and execution in our communities. And it has allowed us to create very special places, where residents enjoy a true sense of belonging – and a feeling of homecoming – every time they pass through our gates.
Most importantly, our residents repeatedly express an overwhelming and unparalleled level of satisfaction in Bonita Bay Group communities, which motivates us to strive even harder.
Environmental Stewardship:
We set new standards in environmental stewardship and continually surpass them. Our founder, David Shakarian, was one of those rare visionaries who understood that man and nature should never settle for mere coexistence but should enhance and complement one another at every possible opportunity - another driver in our company philosophy. Our commitment to the environment was born at Bonita Bay and has been exceeded in each of our subsequent communities, special places where residents today – and in the future – will experience the same environmental responsibility and sensitivity that Shakarian envisioned two decades ago.
Integrity:
Integrity is not only the cornerstone of our company philosophy, it guides everything we do. We take seriously our stated motto to always “do the right thing”, a commitment we hold steadfast for our residents, our communities, and ourselves. It means keeping our promises, and exceeding expectations, every single day.
Our commitment to integrity has led us to be honored with many awards; among them the Urban Land Institute’s Award of Excellence, the highest accolade in the development industry and the Lee Building Industry’s Developer of the Year award for five consecutive years. More importantly, we are honored to create communities our residents love coming home to; people who could choose to live anywhere and have chosen to welcome us into their families.
Community Leadership:
We define community involvement as enriching people’s lives by improving their world by living our company philosophy each day. We not only develop communities, we become an integral part of them. We have woven ourselves into the very fabric of our community in a way that is inescapably linked with the lives of our neighbors. Because, ultimately, this is the place where we all live, work and play.
A community’s heart is measured in ways that defy explanation; and it takes both big things -- like being a consistent leader in United Way giving – and little things like buying supplies for classrooms --that can make a world of difference. This is why our employees serve on the boards of many community organizations, big and small, aimed at making this a better place to live.
Commitment for the Future
At Bonita Bay Group, we have pledged never to waiver from the principles on which our company philosophy was founded: to always exceed expectations, to conduct ourselves as outstanding corporate citizens, to work to preserve nature’s most precious gifts – and to never do anything other than the right thing by our residents and the environment.
We will continue to explore innovative ways to execute our company philosophy and to become one of the most respected development companies and environmental organizations in the world – meeting the needs of homeowners today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
