A lawyer who recently retired from her successful law practice is being recognized after becoming the first Black woman to lead an international development company in the Dominican Republic.
Diana Lynch, the founder of the distinguished Atlanta-based Lynch Law Group now owns The Alma de Samaná, Dominican Republic’s first black-owned golf resort, which comes with modern, state-of-the-art amenities, a signature professional sports and rehabilitation training facility and a medical campus. Her team is now working to develop over 3,000 acres of prime commercial and residential property, which will include over 1,400 deluxe villas and condominiums. The luxurious getaway can be found nestled just north of the Dominican Republic’s shores, tucked just above Samaná Bay, which offers astounding views of the Atlantic Ocean.
“The Alma de Samaná team has assembled an impressive group of experts worldwide specializing in commercial and resort real estate development. The well-known Daedalus Design London (DDL) design team leads the project, which has more than 30 years of diverse international experience,” according to a Travel Noire report. “With over 40 world-class projects in their portfolio, including resort hotels, golf courses, residential properties, and leisure developments across three continents, DDL is the perfect fit for this project. One of their most notable projects is Laucala Island in Fiji, making them the ideal team to bring to life the first black-owned international golf resort in the Dominican Republic.”
The resort is expected to launch later this year, and stakeholders encourage future landowners to invest in property on the resort. The project will provide robust investment options with its awe-inspiring natural beauty. “The Caribbean destination promises an idyllic setting to create a lasting legacy. Her team brings experience, including investing and living abroad expertise and creating multi-generational wealth,” the report concludes. “They are committed to sharing their knowledge with prospective investors and making this opportunity accessible.”
Originally from Brooklyn, Lynch earned a stellar reputation in legal practice. She is recognized as one of the nation’s top Super Lawyers, an achievement reserved for the top 5% of lawyers in their respective fields. She is also the founder of Lynch Land Holdings, LLC, a development company focused on real estate projects across the United States.
