Corvus International LLC is returning to its commercial roots with a partner known for food and another who runs an executive airplane business.
Having completed several large condo projects such as the Bel Mare in Riviera Dunes and Positano on the Gulf on Longboat Key, Corvus International is looking to return to commercial development. Before moving to Florida, it developed manufacturing buildings for Michigan's auto industry.
Corvus is partnering in a new joint venture, called MVP Corvus Development Partners LLC, with Bob Basham, a founder of the restaurant chain OSI Restaurant Partners LLC and owner of Lee Roy Selmon's; and Nick Reader, president of Walkabout Air Inc. According to Tim Vining, a principal with Corvus International, the partnership is focused on developing commercial real estate in Florida primarily relating to green initiatives, such as recycling, green energy or biofuels.
