THE DEVELOPERS,Teatro Vita Developers

Stella del Mare is as much about art and a serene environment as it is about real estate. Experienced investors in oceanfront properties, developers David & Gail McRorie initially conceived of Stella del Mare as a private family compound designed in the true authentic Tuscan tradition they had both grown to love while traveling abroad. As they began to assemble the team, however, the project began to evolve in response to the unique opportunity that lay before them. Could one create a waterfront Italian village along the shores of a South Carolina sea island? In 2002, with the help of some of the most gifted architects, planners and artisans of our time, the McRories elected to design five Tuscan estates on the property in order to further enhance its Riviera ambiance and architectural authenticity. The opportunity was seized, and the “Star of the Sea” was born. Visionaries by any definition, the McRories are no strangers to success – in marriage, business or real estate development. Each has 25 to 30 years of experience in executive management, Fortune 500 consulting and business development. As partners in Teatro Vita Development, David and Gail possess uncommon skills in marketing, business and oceanfront real estate investment. These skills, enhanced by their world travels and shaped by their passion for exceptional living, have enabled them to create one of the most remarkable private communities ever imagined. Inspired by the greatest architecture in history, designed by the nation's best residential architects and built by some of the finest craftsmen in the world, Stella del Mare represents a new Renaissance in luxurious oceanfront living.
