Leesburg Today - Creighton Farms' Developers: 'Here to Stay'

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

When developers David Southworth and Joseph Deitch bought Creighton Farms, the luxury golf course community near Aldie, in early 2009, they knew they had their work cut out for them.

When developers David Southworth and Joseph Deitch bought Creighton Farms, the luxury golf course community near Aldie, in early 2009, they knew they had their work cut out for them. The gated rural subdivision-which was developed in conjunction with the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Co. and opened for home sales in 2006-fell into financial woes in the height of the economic downturn. Much of the work on the property's planned estates and facilities to enhance the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course had stopped; the road, water and sewer infrastructure was incomplete and the maintenance building had just burnt to the ground.

'For the first year of our ownership, it was really just a fire drill-no pun intended-in terms of getting our facilities rebuilt and completed," Southworth, President and CEO of Southworth Development, said during a recent visit to Creighton Farms.

Today, the 964-acre development is back on track, as Southworth puts it, with 20 homes occupied or under construction, another 57 lots ready for construction next year, and more than 100 family memberships at The Club at Creighton Farms, which played host to the Senior PGA Professional National Championship last month.
