Overview
M Private Residences is one of the handful of equity-based destination clubs in existence today - that is, members have a true ownership in the club’s properties, not merely ownership of a membership. In the case of M Private Residences, this ownership is through the holding of one of two classes of shares in the company that holds the properties of the club.
