Ventures Equity Membership Pricing
Launched in 2005, Ventures Equity Vacation Club entered the destination club industry when non-equity clubs dominated the space. With these non-equity competitors growing at record paces, the model saw its first significant black eye when pioneer Tanner & Haley filed for bankruptcy just a year after Ventures Equity's launch, validating the equity concept.
While many evaluating the destination club concept grew more attracted to the equity component, BelleHavens and Crescendo Residences, Ventures Equity's two leading competitors managed to attract the majority of these buyers.
Ventures Equity would continue to slowly grow up until the beginning of 2008 when they were acquired by Ultimate Resort, bringing six new homes and 19 members to the club.
Prior to the acquisition, Ventures Equity members had the opportunity to join as "full" or "half" members.
Premiere Equity Partnership
The "full membership" offered by Ventures Equity, members paid an initial membership fee of $325,000 to join and ongoing annual dues for 28 nights of annual access to the club's properties.
Leisure Equity Partnership
A "half membership" to the Premiere Equity Partnership, Leisure Equity Partnerships provided 14 nights of annual access for half the price.
