About Aventuur

Aventuur is a real estate operator headquartered in Venice, CA. Aventuur operates in Jacksonville, Florida. Its investment focus is on Hospitality and Placemaking.

Aventuur is a privately held global real estate development and investment firm specializing in integrated surf park destinations. Founded in 2019 by former finance and private equity professionals Nicholas Edelman and Richard Duff, the company is dual-headquartered with corporate offices in Los Angeles, California, and Perth, Western Australia. The enterprise operates as a niche developer and operator, combining sports hospitality with lifestyle real estate to create authentic surfing environments designed to enhance physical and mental well-being. The corporation concentrates its business model exclusively on surf-anchored, mixed-use master-planned developments. Its operational strategy utilizes a unique land-carving framework where the company retains and operates the experiential core—the surfing lagoon and high-performance academy—while selling or co-developing the surrounding parcels. This model blends a highly cash-generative sports entertainment operating business with long-term real estate value creation across complementary hospitality, retail, commercial office, and residential components. The organization's technological and geographic footprint is anchored by exclusive market distribution rights to Wavegarden Cove wave-generating technology in key territories across North America, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Fiji. Its international pipeline features major infrastructure initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Perth Surf Park in Jandakot—which broke ground in early 2026 and features an expanded 62-module surfing lagoon—and the Auckland Surf Park in Dairy Flat, New Zealand, which plans to utilize captured heat from an on-site data center to warm its lagoon year-round. In the United States, the firm is advancing a programmatic rollout targeting high-growth metropolitan areas, led by its flagship North American project within the eTown master-planned community in Jacksonville, Florida, which enters final design and construction stages in 2026. The firm is simultaneously pursuing similar land acquisition and development strategies in Texas cities like Austin and Dallas, alongside expanding pipelines in Atlanta, Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas, and Nashville. Each localized domestic destination requires between $50 million and $100 million in development capital and features a centralized 5.5-acre surfing lagoon surrounded by curated retail boutiques, multifamily housing, hotels, and wellness infrastructure.
