More recently, Mark has concluded the development of a new 74 slip marina located on the Miami River in downtown Miami.
Today in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Mark is coordinating and overseeing the infrastructure realignment and the 200 slip marina that are the initial phases of Steelpointe Harbor, a 2.5 million square foot project anchoring the harbor in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
