Schmidt-Curley Design -- the full-service golf-course architecture, master-planning and construction-management firm -- announces it’s opening a second Chinese satellite office in Kunming.
Schmidt-Curley, architect of 10 of the 12 courses at China's Mission Hills Golf Club, opened its first Asian-based headquarters in Haikou on Hainan Island in November 2007, establishing a foothold in one of the world's most rapidly developing golf regions. The Kunming office space will be shared with Schmidt-Curley's sister company, Flagstick Golf Course Construction Management. Flagstick's pre-construction preparation ensures clients will have a precise understanding of the overall construction process, reducing the inherent risks involved in the project and maximizing efficiency and project execution.
Staffing plans, including management positions, will be announced at a later date. In the interim, Richard Mon, head of Schmidt-Curley's Haikou office, is the point of contact for all commitments in western China.
"The Kunming office builds on our track record of unparalleled service in China and throughout Asia," says Brian Curley. "Schmidt-Curley and Flagstick have a rapidly expanding portfolio of clients in western China and are opening the office to provide projects in Kunming, Chengdu and Baoshan with the greatest administrative and logistic support possible."
