This is Halstatt

It’s in our ROOTS

The genesis of Halstatt began with Barron Gift Collier, an early 20th-century advertising magnate and one of the most influential figures in the development of Florida. Founded by his granddaughter, Judy Sproul, Halstatt is the female-led investment and operational arm of the Sproul family that has grown from the master developer of the renowned Grey Oaks Country Club in Naples, FL, and the redevelopment of LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort, into a sophisticated alternative investment platform that deploys capital on behalf of the Sproul family and third-party institutional investors.

Driven by values with laser-focused execution

Upon Halstatt’s founding, it was once said that Halstatt is a family business where business comes first. While Halstatt has evolved and grown over time, its commitment to excellence and integrity remains at the forefront of all investment activity.

Our Values

As a result of its 100+ year history investing in and developing real estate throughout Florida, Halstatt has established itself as a go-to capital partner with an extensive network of relationships spanning various asset classes. As a result, Halstatt is uniquely positioned to capitalize on changing trends and disruption.

Since its founding, the Halstatt ethos—“do what you say, with honesty and integrity, give back to the community and be entrepreneurial”—remains unchanged.

Where we come from

Stemming from the Barron Gift Collier legacy in Southwest Florida, the Sproul family launched Halstatt and has expanded broadly in accordance with our historical timeline as depicted below:

Barron Gift Collier visits and purchases Useppa Island, beginning a series of land acquisitions which culminates in owning over 1.3 million acres across Southwest Florida.

Upon his death, Barron Collier’s estate is left to his three sons, Barron Jr., Miles and Samuel.

Barron Collier, Jr. provides a gift of land to his daughter, Judy Sproul, leaving it to her through trust.

Utilizing the land gifted to her by her father, Judy Sproul spearheads the development of Grey Oaks Country Club in Naples, Florida, creating Halstatt in the process.

Judy’s eldest daughter, Katie, joins Halstatt and leads the purchase and re-development of LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort.
