DCP International Expands Business to Europe

Private Residence Club Pioneer Opens New Office in London

Press Release: DCP International
October 31, 2006
PARK CITY, UT -- DCP International announced Oct. 27 it has opened its first European office in London. The strategic move will enable the company to develop additional projects in Europe and continue to provide clients with high quality service. As the pioneer and most experienced company in the private residence club industry, DCP International residence clubs have generated more than $650 million in sales to date and the company currently has more than $1.6 billion under contract.

DCP International recently launched Palazzo Tornabuoni, the first private residence club in Florence, Italy. The club is ensconced in one of Florence's most important buildings and is ideally situated in the epicenter of the city's acclaimed fashion district. Palazzo Tornabuoni consists of 36 luxury apartments and is expected to garner more than $150 million in sales.

"The initial response for Palazzo Tornabuoni bodes well for the PRC concept in Europe and we view our new Mayfair office in London as a natural progression of our company," said Steve Dering, DCP Partner and founder of the private residence club industry. "We are energized by the potential opportunities we see in other popular cities such as London, Paris, Rome and Madrid, as well as European resort destinations."

As the category continues to grow into more than a $2 billion industry, DCP International's European office will provide strategic support and counsel in the areas of design, marketing and sales of new clubs in the region.

In 1991, Steve Dering of DCP International established the first private residence club at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. The Deer Valley Club has served as the industry model for most residence clubs that have followed, and DCP International continues to be an innovator in this category of luxury real estate. Recent additions to the DCP portfolio of 20 clubs in the market or in development include The Residence Club at Teton Springs, The Residence Club at PGA WEST, The Residence Club at The Fairmont Chicago, The Residences at the Chateaux (Deer Valley Resort), and The Residence Club at Monuments Beach (Cabo San Lucas).

DCP International works with luxury real estate developers and specializes in the design, marketing and sale of member-owned residence clubs at prestigious resort and urban locations. As the pioneer and most experienced company in this rapidly growing segment of the real estate industry, DCP International residence clubs have more than $650 million in sales to date and $1.6 billion under contract.
