Premier Commercial Property Multifaceted Offering In Worthington, Massachusetts
We have targeted complimentary income streams
The Worthington Golf Course was sold to David and Helen Pollard in February of 2018 with the hope that through their management, it could be saved for future generations. The property was underwater between $500K and $1M and membership had dwindled down to approximately 40 members. The Pollards invested heavily in infrastructure improvements, making the golf product exceptional, upgraded equipment, and have added another 100 active members. These actions dramatically increased revenue, but it’s not quite enough to improve the property and sustain it without additional income streams. Other sources of income have been brought online allowing us to cross sell and increase revenue per property.
The below represents our current product offering.
