Captain's Corner Jan 26, 2010 Kris As the New Year and new decade begin, we look to a hopeful and prosperous future. During these financially challenging times we constantly re-evaluate our business and recreational expenses, looking for value. As boaters, we understand that going with less expensive products does not always save us money in the end. Cheap products, services and maintenance will cost us much more down the road including hurricane damage to boats from poorly located and built marinas, broken dock lines, replacement parts, service technicians and fuel.

Guest Comments Jan 26, 2010 Roger “This is a very beautiful high-end condominium complex and beautiful high service level marina... The pampering started even before we arrived. Rather than the normal procedure of calling a marina several times in order to get them to respond they called me as I was clearing the bridge! ...Like an airplane coming into the terminal, there was a dock hand at each spot directing us into our slips. ...The facility itself is modern, beautiful, and immaculately kept. It boasts clean rest rooms, a free laundry room, free ice and a helpful and a knowledgeable staff. ...A real treat for me is the cable TV hookups, I have not had cable either in my old apartment or Reboot for over a year and a half. There is a modern mall which has a West Marine store and a large variety of other stores a short walk away. All in all, a great place to stop to visit Jacksonville FL and the surrounding area.”

Boats & Barks Aug 08, 2009 Amy Schmid Ortega Landing went to the Dogs at our Boats & Barks Celebration August 8, 2009. Dogs of all shapes and sizes gathered to have a bath, eat treats, pose for portraits and get lots of love, all to benefit The Jacksonville Humane Society. We want to give a big “Thank You” to everyone who made this day a success. We had La Shane Franklin on hand making our canine friends look fabulous, as promised by the name of her Salon “The Fabulous Fido Salon” in Avondale. She washed the furry friends all day long with a smile on her face. She loves dogs and it shows! We also had dog treats provided by “All about the Dog” in Avondale. Then Michael J. Portraits set up shop and took the cutest doggie portraits. That is one of their specialties and you can certainly tell by the care and patience they took with each of the dogs. You can find them online at michaeljportait.com. We also had Hungry Howie’s Pizza on hand with delicious pizza. And Debby was on hand selling beautiful jewelry. You can shop her jewelry at: www.mysilpada.com/debby.s and she will make a donation to The Jacksonville Humane Society for every purchase. We also had a raffle that included donated items form KFC and Woody’s BBQ on Roosevelt. The Jacksonville Humane Society thanked us for raising money towards keeping dogs in need, happy & healthy until they find their forever homes. Thank you to everyone for your generosity!

Supporting the Local Economy Oct 20, 2008 Nathan Baer MLG Development was pleased to see the article in the Jacksonville Resident titled, “Discovering the advantage of Locals Care in our community.” The theme of thinking globally and spending locally applies to MLG Development and our operations in Jacksonville. As a Wisconsin-based developer we understand the importance of utilizing local services. This may seem odd coming from an out-of-state developer, but we make it a focus to utilize local services whenever possible. Sometimes this is not feasible when local pricing is not competitive or if a specialty service is not available, but since beginning our Ortega Landing development on the deep curve of Herschel and Lakeside we have injected nearly five million dollars into the Jacksonville economy.
In addition to the dollars spent directly on the construction of our marina and condominium development, hundreds of thousands of dollar have also been brought to Jacksonville due to our marketing and sales efforts.
Several local restaurants have benefitted from Ortega Landing as we have utilized their services to cater events aimed at helping us sell boat slips and condo units. West Marine, Publix, CVS Pharmacy and several other retailers in the Roosevelt Mall have also benefitted from the hundreds of visitors that have come to Ortega Landing from states like Georgia, New Jersey, Maryland, Wisconsin, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio and Illinois – to name a few. In addition, members of Jacksonville’s Marina Mile have seen business from Ortega Landing boaters who need maintenance, outfitting and fueling of their boats.
MLG is spending millions of dollars right in Jacksonville and we encourage all residents of Riverside, Avondale, Ortega, Murray Hill, San Marcos, San Jose, St. Nicholas and Jacksonville as a whole to “spend locally.”
In addition to construction, engineering and design firms there are several other service providers including local photographers, sign vendors, media outlets, advertising agencies and real estate firms that MLG has contracted with over the past several years.
Now you may ask yourself, “A developer can have a huge impact on the local economy but what can I do?” As the Resident reported, patronizing local stores brings 3-4 times as many dollars into the local economy. Just think of the impact of being committed to supporting the local economy. Thinking globally and spending locally is not a new concept but now is a great time to revitalize a classic idea and benefit Jacksonville and all of its businesses and residents. We at MLG and Ortega Landing look forward to many years of spending locally as we continue with our condo and marina development.
Stop by Ortega Landing to see the high quality of work performed by local contractors on both our marina and condo development.

Broker's Corner Oct 03, 2008 Nathan Baer Care-Free Living Ortega Landing’s condominium lifestyle frees residents from the daily or weekly maintenance chores that a single-family home requires. Instead of mowing your lawn or trimming the hedges, owners can spend the time enjoying the waterfront, swimming in the pool or relaxing in the hot tub. Traveling out of town for business or pleasure is no longer fraught with worry about getting the mail or having the yard maintained. Just lock the door and go. The staff will take care of your mail and packages and keep an eye on your boat. Ortega Landing is conveniently located in the heart of the best neighborhoods in Jacksonville. Its proximity to shopping, great schools, restaurants and easy access to major thoroughfares make it an ideal location for everyone. You can enjoy the peace and serenity of riverfront living and be just a stone’s throw away from the necessities and niceties of life. Take a five-minute stroll to more than six restaurants at Roosevelt Square – or stop in for a cup of your favorite latte at Starbucks before grocery shopping at a “full size” Publix complete with a pharmacy. A few steps away is a CVS Pharmacy with a non-emergency walk-in medical clinic on site, several clothing stores and services including nail and hair salons. Busy people will find this very convenient but boating enthusiasts will jump for joy to be able to have all their personal and boating needs taken care of within walking distance of their vessel. What more can you ask for?

Captains Corner Fall 2008 Oct 03, 2008 10/3/2008 Tropical storm Fay’s recent visit to Jacksonville put our dock system to the test and we passed with flying colors. Marina members were also put to the test, and the seasoned boaters were well prepared while the new mates learned to give Mother nature her due respect. Fay was predicted to be a mild tropical storm but provided 65 mph sustained winds (just shy of a category 1 hurricane at 74 mph). She was reluctant to leave Jacksonville once she arrived, pouring 12 inches of rain in some areas. Vast amounts of water dumped on the St. Johns River and the water shed raised the river to 100-year flood levels. It was the highest water level in the Jacksonville area in decades. Unlike many other marinas, we had 10 feet left on our concrete pilings while other marinas had vessels break free from moorings and sink. Some marinas lost docks and others were within 12 inches of having their docks float off the structural piling. With a little more surge some marinas would have been destroyed or their docks would have completely floated away.As a result of our storm-resistant construction, we now have new lease customers that realize how valuable it is to have their boat in the safest harbor in Jacksonville, The Marina at Ortega Landing. Captain Kristopher W. Schmid, Harbormaster.

Captains Corner Jul 10, 2008 Kris Schmid As we all know the cost of boating has gone up along with everything else. As boaters, we must analyze our cost versus return during these economic times. The Marina at Ortega Landing offers the highest value regarding the quality of marina dockage facilities, marina amenities and recreational opportunities. Many members have found that they stay on their boat 30%-40% more now that Ortega Landing is their home port. We have seen more local transients coming for the weekend to enjoy all the marina has to offer. The resort style marina surroundings and its beautiful location provides a relaxing and social setting to enjoy without leaving the dock. The choice to make Ortega Landing your home port offers other cost savings as well. Members have found that insurance carriers grant a reduced premium because of the site’s natural hurricane protection, the fact that we are located 25 miles inland south of the Main Street Bridge and because of our location on the inland waters (be sure to check with your insurance representative). The proximity to shops, restaurants and the beautiful communities of Ortega and Avondale allow members to walk or bike to get their shopping done; we also transport our members to and from the airport so there is no need for a rental car! Come spend a weekend with us; caution you may fall in love! Boat Safely,
