Projects

ARBEL CLIFFS
LUXURY RESORT & RESIDENCE CLUB

"Vision is the art of seeing things invisible." - JONATHAN SWIFT

Americas Partners believes that in order to realize extraordinary gains, unique and undervalued opportunities must be identified and acquired before they become known to the marketplace.

​

One such project that Americas Partners is developing is "Israel By The Sea", an ultra luxury resort and membership club program at four premier seaside locations, designed to offer "True Luxury in Israel". Each location in the program will offer incomparable amenities, such as a world class spa, a championship golf course, tennis, water activities, and luxury accommodations at a magnificent nature reserve by one of Israel's four seas - starting at the Mt. Arbel Nature Reserve, 1300 feet over the Sea of Galilee, with 36 holes of championship golf designed by Robert Trent Jones II.

EMPIRE RESORTS

"The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong,
but that's the way to bet." 
- DAMON RUNYON

Americas Partners exemplified its ability to forge complex partnerships that create value with its 1995 joint venture acquisition of the Monticello Raceway, a 230-acre harness racing operation in the Catskill Mountains of New York.

​

In 2004, Americas Partners agreed to merge the Monticello Raceway into Empire Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: NYNY, www.empireresorts.com) and opened a casino on the site.
