The Mackle brothers - Elliott, Robert and Frank Jr. - is a land developer on Marco Island, Florida. In 1962 they purchased most sites from the heirs of Barron Gift Collier for US $ 7 million and through their development company, The Deltona Corporation, began transforming it into a resort community. It is planned to become a variety of luxury accommodation and stay in a seaside resort environment.
Before creating Marco Island, the brothers have been involved with General Development Corporation, a business that runs a "Florida buying" campaign offering "The Florida Dream" for a $ 10 down payment followed by $ 10/month.
The Mackle brothers organized worldwide advertising campaigns for the Island launch in 1965, which attracted 25,000 people. The brochure listed seaside homes priced from $ 19,800 and inland homes from $ 14,900; plots for self-development vary from $ 2,550 for inland and from $ 5,495 for a seaside site.
Marco Island is now an upscale community of luxury hotels, operated by Marriott and Hilton, and seaside, beach and inland homes.
Jomes Mackle, grandson of Robert F. Mackle Sr. is the latest face of the mass marketing efforts of the family land as President Mackle Homes. In his early 20s, he was one of the youngest members of the George W. Bush administration as a member designated by C.
