PAUL LAFRANCE JOINS CYPRESS EQUITIES AS VICE PRESIDENT OF RESORT DEVELOPMENT
Dallas, TX - Cypress Equities, the development affiliate of Staubach, announced today that Paul LaFrance has joined the firm as Vice President of Resort Development. As his initial project, Mr. LaFrance will oversee the design and construction of Royal Island, the company’s new private resort Island in the Bahamas.Mr. LaFrance was most recently Vice President of Walt Disney Imagineering. During his tenure with Disney, he headed up the design and construction of Walt Disney Studios in Paris and the Construction of Hong Kong Disney. His previous experience includes a stint with Universal Studios where he was in charge of design and construction of Universal Studios Japan. His U.S. and international experience also includes Eurodisneyland and several other resorts and theme parks.
Mr. LaFrance discussed the Royal Island project, saying, “This is one of the most challenging and exciting projects that I’ve undertaken. We have a fabulous resource in Royal Island, which is one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean. However, the logistics of building on a remote island are huge, without any water, electricity or other essential services. This is the first project that I’ve been on where we’re literally starting from scratch. But when we’re finished, this will be an absolutely first class resort.”
A honors graduate of the University of Massachusetts, with a degree in Engineering, Mr. LaFrance has more than 12 years experience working for an engineering firm and a major general contractor, as well as 16 years in the theme park and resort business.
