The Neal Legacy: Four Generations in Building (page 2)

Neal Communities has prospered from this multi-generational vision and philosophy that has created a mutual sense of commitment among the family members that are partners – Pat Neal, spouse Charlene Neal and son John Neal, all of whom lead their respective divisions for the Design Gallery and interior planning (Charlene) and land acquisition and management (John).

Today, family members remain integrally involved in all elements of the planning, design, construction and move-in phases. Charlene’s talent and vision as an interior merchandiser has made her a regional leader and award-winning in her field. Included in this vision was her instrumental role in the creation of The Design Gallery, which offers one-stop shopping and guidance for new homeowners to select interior finishes for their Neal home.

On the land acquisition and management side, John Neal continues to lead the Neal visionary charge, presenting new ideas and approaches to purchasing and developing land. In addition, he now carries the Neal family baton at University Park Country Club. He purchased Pat’s ownership share in the Country Club as part of his leadership role when owners Pat Neal and the Pasold family made the decision to return to semi-private and more profitable status in November 2007, opening up this 4-Star Golf Digest rated course to daily fee play. This timely and strategic shift resulted in University Park Country Club posting its best year ever in 2008, including an all-time high in member satisfaction, one year after the shift to semi-private status.

By enabling each partner and key management to lead by example and grow their areas of expertise responsibly, Neal Communities continues to prosper and set the standard in responsible business, real estate development and community involvement.
