The River Hall Development is an approximately 1,978 acre Residential and Commercial Planned Development located within unincorporated Lee County, Florida and consists of three separate communities: Cascades, Hampton Lakes and the Country Club. Hampton Lakes and the Country Club are bundled communities. Cascades was developed separately from Hampton Lakes and the Country Club sections of River Hall by Levitt and Sons.

Bundled communities are those that have memberships, such as a golf course, included or “bundled” with the home purchase so that all homeowners in the community are members of the club.

The River Hall golf course and Town Hall Amenities Center are bundled with a home purchase in the Country Club. Country Club homeowners pay assessments for the use of both the golf course and Amenities Center with no opt out provisions.

The Amenities Center is bundled with a home purchase in Hampton Lakes. Hampton Lakes homeowners pay assessments for the use of the Amenities Center with no opt out provisions. In addition, Hampton Lakes homeowners are not automatically members of the golf course, although they can purchase annual memberships.

The golf course and Amenities Center are both managed by Hampton Golf, Inc. which was co-founded in 1998 by M.G. Orender and Edward E. Burr. The 2020 Florida Profit Corporation Annual Report for Hampton Golf, Inc. lists Burr as both a director and vice-president. Hampton Golf, Inc. presently manages both the golf course and Amenities Center.

The golf course should be owned and operated by the River Hall Country Club Homeowners Association, Inc. and the Amenities Center should be owned and operated by the Town Hall Center Association, Inc., both of which will eventually be controlled by the residents.

In October 1998, Burr founded Landmar Group, Inc. to build master planned communities. In May 1999, Crescent Resources, LLC, the parent of which was Crescent Holdings, LLC, formed Landmar Group, LLC in Delaware, and acquired a majority interest in Landmar Group, Inc. Burr remained with Landmar Group, LLC and became an officer in Crescent.

The developers of Hampton Lakes and the Country Club were Hawk’s Haven Developers, LLC and Hawk’s Haven Golf Course Community Developers, LLC.

Beginning in 2006, Hawk’s Haven began to sell parcels of developed lots within Hampton Lakes and the Country Club to various homebuilders and investors.

In 2007, Burr left both Crescent and Landmar and formed GreenPointe Holdings, LLC which specializes in community development and homebuilding. A division of GreenPointe Holdings, LLC is GreenPointe Communities, LLC.

In June 2009, Crescent filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Petition, which included affiliates Landmar and both Hawk’s Haven entities. In May 2010, Crescent asked the bankruptcy court for permission to sell the Country Club and Hampton Lakes assets of River Hall, and Southern Hills, which is located in Brooksville, Florida, to GreenPointe.

The River Hall assets acquired by GreenPointe included developed lots, undeveloped acreage, an 18-hole golf course, common areas and the Town Hall Amenities Center. According to a bankruptcy document filed with the court on September 21, 2010, the original purchase price for the River Hall assets, including the golf course and Amenities Center, was $1.3 million.

Since GreenPointe was unable to negotiate a reduction of the CDD assessments on the land, the bondholders agreed to reduce the purchase price of ALL the River Hall assets to $550,000, subject to repayment if GreenPointe was able to negotiate a reduction in the CDD assessments. The land purchased was still subject to the bond debt on each parcel. The River Hall assets acquired by GreenPointe did not include parcels purchased from Hawk’s Haven by individual builders or investors.

In October 2010, Hawk’s Haven Golf Course Community Developers, LLC transferred the River Hall assets to RH Venture I, LLC, a Florida LLC formed by GreenPointe to take title to a portion of the River Hall assets located in both the Country Club and Hampton Lakes.

In October 2010, Hawk’s Haven Developers, LLC transferred a portion of the River Hall assets located in Hampton Lakes to RH Venture I, LLC. Burr is the president of RH Venture I, LLC.

In May 2011, RH VENTURE I transferred the golf course to RH Golf, LLC. Burr is the president of RH Golf, LLC.

In May 2011, RH Venture I transferred the Town Hall Amenities Center to RH Venture THC, LLC. Burr is the president of RH Venture THC, LLC.

In May 2011, RH VENTURE I transferred some undeveloped and unplatted parcels in River Hall to RH Venture II, LLC a Florida LLC. Burr is the president of RH Venture II, LLC.

In May 2012, RH Venture I transferred developed and platted parcels in River Hall to RH Venture III, LLC a Florida LLC. Burr is the president of RH Venture III, LLC.

To summarize, Hawk’s Haven sold the River Hall assets to GreenPointe, which formed RH Venture I, LLC to take title to the assets. RH Venture I then transferred the golf course, the Amenities Center and undeveloped and platted land to four separate LLC’s, all controlled by Burr. Therefore, Burr owns, through the LLC's he formed to take title to them, the River Hall Golf Course and the River Hall Town Hall Amenities Center. Both are managed by Hampton Golf, Inc., in which Burr owns an interest.
