Prior to its establishment, the trust had already begun land purchases,
making its in 1923, acquiring cheap land in the Florida Panhandle.
Land purchases continued throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and St Joe
eventually owned more than a million acres at “a couple bucks per acre.”
Following Ball’s death in 1981, the company began to sell off its industrial
operations and focus on land development. Peter Rummell, former
chairman of Walt Disney Imagineering, was hired in 1997 to lead their
real estate business and became Chairman and CEO.
The St Joe Company Today
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Britton Greene has served as CEO of the company since May 2008 and
as President since October 2007.
The St. Joe Company today is the premier real estate development
company in Northwest Florida, with approximately 580,000 acres of low-
cost land, between Tallahassee and Destin.
St. Joe owns approximately 41,000 entitled acres that allow for the
development of 43,000 residential units and over 13 million square feet
of commercial uses.
St. Joe’s wide competitive advantage is simply its near-zero cost land. Its
massive scale and low-cost basis is impossible for other developers to
replicate, making JOE the partner of choice for all development activity
in Northwest Florida.
St. Joe is actively engaged in regional planning and often donates land for
infrastructure development to tip the scales in its favor when seeking land
entitlements.
The company donated 4,000 acres in West Bay for the construction of a
new airport. In exchange, JOE received land-use approvals for nearly
30,000 areas around the airport.

Patience Is A Virtue
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
But Mr. Market’s obsession with the short term creates opportunity for
disciplined investors. If everyone else is scurrying around pricing the
next fad on the basis of next quarter’s sales, they are likely to misprice
assets for the long term. Which is precisely what has happened here.
St. Joe is a long-term story that may very well take years or decades to
fully play out. But when we consider the macroeconomic environment
today, and the long-term impact of our government’s fiscal recklessness
and related monetary policy, we are inclined to seek out insurance. In this
respect, St. Joe offers investors an extremely cheap hedge against the risks
illustrated on the following page.
