Timbers Company, a leading name in luxury resort development and hospitality, marks its 25th anniversary this year, coinciding with five years of operations based out of Winter Park, Florida. Founded near Aspen, Colorado, Timbers has expanded from its origins as a trailblazer in private residence clubs to becoming a global player in high-end hospitality, with a portfolio of elite resorts in some of the most desirable locations worldwide. Over the years, the company has strengthened its operations and attracted top-tier executives, all while maintaining its dedication to delivering exceptional experiences.
The decision to move its headquarters to Florida five years ago has been a strategic success for Timbers, positioning the company at the heart of one of the fastest-growing hubs for tourism and hospitality. CEO Greg Spencer attributes this relocation as a key factor in their ongoing expansion, stating, “Our move to Winter Park was instrumental in attracting the industry’s best talent, and our growth over the last five years reflects the dedication of both our current team and the vision laid out by our founder, David Burden.”
A Legacy of Growth and Leadership
Since its founding, Timbers has been built on core principles of authenticity, integrity, and personalized service—values that have become the backbone of its success. As part of its growth strategy, the company has steadily increased its workforce, adding nearly 600 employees in the last five years alone. With recent executive hires such as Brian Corbett as Chief Operating Officer, Heidi Nowak as Chief Marketing Officer, and Darrin Griffin as Chief Development Officer, the company is primed to enter a new era of expansion.
“Our team’s growth and the addition of key executives have strengthened Timbers’ ability to deliver world-class service to our owners and guests,” Spencer said. “Our portfolio has grown significantly, and we’re committed to continuing that trajectory, particularly with exciting new projects in both domestic and international markets.”
Innovating the Luxury Travel Experience with Andiamo
In 2023, Timbers introduced Andiamo, a luxury vacation platform that sets a new standard in the high-end vacation rental market. Offering curated residences combined with personalized resort-like services, Andiamo bridges the gap between traditional vacation rentals and five-star hospitality. This platform addresses the growing demand for exclusive vacation homes with the consistency and reliability of a luxury brand.
Unlike typical rental sites, Andiamo ensures that each residence meets the highest standards of quality and service, providing guests with an unparalleled vacation experience. This innovation has also bolstered Timbers’ partnerships with travel advisors, who can now offer clients exclusive access to these properties with added perks like customized welcome amenities.
Looking to the Future
Timbers Company continues to evolve, with significant projects on the horizon. The company is in the final stages of rebuilding the iconic South Seas resort on Florida’s Captiva Island, a project set to elevate the property after it was damaged by Hurricane Ian. The rebuild emphasizes resilience and environmental preservation, ensuring that the resort will be better equipped to face future challenges while offering enhanced amenities for guests.
Looking ahead, Timbers is focusing on expanding in key regions, including Coastal Florida, Montana, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean. These ventures reflect the company’s unwavering commitment to its mission: creating unforgettable experiences for families and travelers, while preserving the natural beauty of each destination for future generations.
As Timbers celebrates its 25th anniversary, its legacy of excellence continues to grow, driven by a team that remains dedicated to offering extraordinary moments in some of the world’s most stunning locales. The next chapter in Timbers’ journey promises to be one of continued innovation, strategic expansion, and an enduring commitment to its guests and owners.
