Press Release: The Grand Del Mar
October 20, 2006
SAN DIEGO, CA -- Mark Sollenberger, a longtime veteran of the golf and real estate industries, has been named director
of Villa sales and golf memberships for The Grand Del Mar, a luxurious resort destination now being developed by
Manchester Grand Resorts in North San Diego County.
In his new position, Sollenberger will oversee marketing for The Villas at The Grand Del Mar, a unique residential
enclave of 39 partially and wholly-owned Villas within the new luxury resort, and will also take charge of new
memberships for the 380-acre Grand Golf Club, the property’s championship private golf course. Phase One of The
Villas is now for sale and consists of sixteen wholly-owned, unfurnished homes starting at $4 million and eight
fully-furnished fractionally-owned residences starting at $650,000.
According to Manchester Grand Resorts’ President Thomas J.W. Voss, Sollenberger joins a growing staff of talented
professionals at The Grand Del Mar. “We are pleased to have Mark on board as he has extensive expertise in both
the real estate and private club industries, both vital to our marketing focus.”
With more than 25 years of experience, Sollenberger was most recently the corporate director of sales and marketing
for The Club at Black Rock, a private golf community in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Prior to that, he was a principal
with San Francisco-based Discovery Land Company, assisting with sales and marketing for that high-end development
company. He was also the director of sales, marketing and memberships at the Santa Lucia Preserve and the Preserve
Golf Club in Carmel, California and worked in the same capacity at Estancia in Scottsdale, Arizona.
A former professional golfer, Sollenberger was recently inducted into the Arizona Golf Hall of Fame. He attended
Arizona State University and now resides in Solana Beach, Calif. Situated amidst the striking fairways of The Grand
Golf Club in North San Diego County, The Grand Del Mar – a much anticipated resort destination owned and operated
by Manchester Grand Resorts – is slated to open in mid-2007.
When complete, the luxury resort will feature: 261 beautifully appointed guestrooms; 39 beautifully appointed partially
and wholly-owned residential Villas; San Diego’s only Tom Fazio designed championship golf course; two outdoor
tennis courts; a 21,000-square-foot full-service spa; four swimming pools; fine dining, including a signature restaurant
overlooking the fairways; and more than 30,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting space.
