THE DEVELOPER

Partners LLC was formed by Michael and David Kirchner along with their father, Stewart, and their uncle, James, to fulfill a long-standing desire to create a family business. It was early 2007 when an opportunity in Vieques afforded the opportunity to blend their diverse career backgrounds with their mutual interest in outstanding architecture and functional design.

Many years ago, the beautiful eight cuerda* parcel acquired by Kiribe Parnters was once part of vast sugar cane plantation. The history of the land gave inspiration for the name, Loma Dulce, or "Sweet Hill". Kiribe Partners was so taken with the beauty that three generous lots were created rather than four smaller parcels as local zoning would have allowed. This decision exemplifies the goal of the partnership: to deliver quality over quantity, and to improve rather than change the character of the land.

As the project took form, it became apparent that local experiences and relationships would be invaluable assets and imperative to the success of Loma Dulce. In 2007, Michael and his wife Laura happily volunteered to leave snowy Chicago and move to Vieques to become part of the community. They have gained priceless experience in Viequense culture, climate and lifestyle. The invaluable knowledge has greatly influenced the project and is essential in successfully managing the quality and efficiency of construction.

*cuerda is a local unit for area, 1 cuerda = .97 acre
