Company

Our journey began over 50 years ago with a bold sketch on a cocktail napkin, an illustration of the innovative spirit and potential of what could be. That sketch, by our founder, Don Soffer, sparked the transformation of 785 acres of swamplands and created the vibrant City of Aventura. Today, Aventura is a haven in South Florida and an economic anchor for the region. While we've grown beyond South Florida, we remain true to our roots, upholding our reputation for excellence, creativity, and civic responsibility. Ours is a story about placemaking with principles.

A Multigenerational Family Business

At Turnberry, we are a family united by a shared passion for placemaking with principles. Our real estate portfolio is made of hospitality, retail, residential, and mixed-use projects built over five decades. They are living testaments to these principles. Our developments are distinguished by their innovation, their excellence in design, and by our unwavering commitment as operators to create enduring value for the communities we serve. Under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Jackie Soffer, we champion these principles every day, placing people and community at the forefront of everything we do.

We’re dedicated developers, builders, and managers, passionate in our work, innovative in our approach.
