GEP, Inc., is a Titusville, Florida based family wealth holding company founded by Glenn E. Patch, a successful media entrepreneur. His initial ventures in the publishing business led to founding over a dozen leading newsstand magazine publications. The subsequent sale of Patch Publishing became the foundation for a thriving real estate development and investment company.

Today, GEP's business interests include real estate development, home building, entertainment, resort development, and a broad variety of other financial  investments. The company prides itself on building industry leading developments that represent sound investments for both our residents and partners.

Representative company developments include Harbor Village in Bigfork, Montana, a 350-acre residential community on Flathead Lake that is home to Eagle Bend Yacht Club and the Jack Nicklaus designed Eagle Bend Golf Club. Eagle Bend Golf Club has been ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top 50 golf destinations in the world.

Other significant residential developments include The Communities at Branson Creek, a 7500- acre Master Planned Community located near Branson, Missouri. Branson Creek is home to the Tom Fazio designed Branson Creek Golf Course, ranked the number one public course in Missouri and 56th in the nation by Golf Digest. Branson Creek also hosts a second 18-hole championship course, John Daly's Murder Rock Golf and Country Club which opened in 2007.

Branson Creek offers many different neighborhoods and lifestyle options for residents and this award winning community is ranked by Where to Retire magazine as one of the top 100 Master Planned Communities in the United States.

Branson Creek is also home to the new Branson Regional Airport, a development initiated by the company several years ago which represents construction of the first new full service commercial, non-replacement airport in the United States in 40 years as well as the country's first to be entirely financed with private capital. Although GEP has since sold its founding interest in the airport to a private equity group, it continues to own and develop all of the land surrounding the new airport.

GEP also developed and operates in the Branson area the country's first Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theatre, a live entertainment rock and roll venue which also houses a company-owned 30,000 square foot museum featuring one of the finest collections of pristine American-made automobiles from the year 1957 and an extensive collection of period memorabilia.

GEP's real estate investments are structured to mitigate initial development risk for other developers and builders by putting in place the community infrastructure and amenities before inviting other builders and development partners to join us in building first class communities for our residents. By first developing infrastructure, community amenities and ensuring all build entitlements are in place, our partners can quickly bring product out of the ground and to market backed by our solid reputation for building quality communities
