NewVida Preserve is a 1,200-acre stabilized, high-growth resort located in the Adirondack High Peaks near Whiteface Mountain and Lake Placid. Following a successful repositioning, the property has demonstrated exceptional operating momentum, achieving 440% yoy EBITDA growth in 2025. While the property is available for purchase at $9M, the primary opportunity being presented is a $7M preferred equity investment alongside the Current Sponsor to execute a capital-efficient expansion strategy that leverages public grants and a partial hotel-condo model to drive a projected 26%+ IRR, 40%+ capital returned by Year 2 and a 35%+ Yield on Cost. Investors benefit from the partnership of the Current Sponsor, a former Google and McKinsey executive, successful entrepreneur and operator that has key working relationships with local municipalities and regional regulatory agencies, including the Adirondack Park Agency and Department of Health.
