Next Level.

Whether we take on an entire development project or just a part of it, the real magic begins when we start tossing around ideas, brainstorming, and dreaming big. Every exciting journey kicks off with the question, “What if…?

From there, we bring it to life, fueled by these core strengths…

It began with a request from the city of Pigeon Forge and our bold vision for a forgotten retail space. Fueled by the emerging RV boom, we transformed camping into a high-end destination, blending luxury resort amenities with the adventure of the outdoors. This first-of-its-kind concept was such a hit that our Margaritaville partner continues to develop more Camp Margaritaville concepts to add to their portfolio.

Expertise:

We’re experts in construction—home, retail, hospitality, and commercial. Building the Margaritaville Hotel in Nashville put all our skills to the test. Picture Nashville's main storm sewer running diagonally through our site. We had to excavate both sides, build a bridge, and then construct the hotel on top. With no access to the neighboring building, we had to engineer the walls from the inside out. The result? An $82 million, 12-story, casual-luxe hotel, just half a block from Music City Center, with 10,719 square feet of event space and a rooftop pool.

Our long-standing partnerships with Margaritaville and Wyndham Hotels have enabled Safe Harbor Development to exceed expectations consistently. Starting with the Margaritaville Island Hotel in Pigeon Forge, we then introduced the Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Lodge concept, which quickly expanded to other locations like Lanier Islands near Atlanta. Margaritaville also sought us out to develop an urban hotel in downtown Nashville. With Wyndham, we've enhanced projects like The Island in Pigeon Forge and added 52 timeshare opportunities at our Margaritaville Hotel in Nashville. These collaborations have allowed us to achieve more together than we ever could alone, creating exceptional destinations.

Relationships:

Our strong relationships with local communities are at the heart of our success. Our longstanding partnership with the city of Pigeon Forge is a prime example. The city has entrusted us to develop key areas along the Parkway and near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park—projects designed to enhance the region, boost tourism, and create jobs, while being responsible stewards of the local community. We pride ourselves on building solid working relationships with the local municipalities and communities for all our projects, understanding that collaboration and support are essential to creating places and destinations that benefit everyone involved.
