A business alliance forged in 1992 is energizing communities with new development in a sweep across several states. HCW, LLC has become widely known for its unique ability to assess the needs and wishes of a community and bring esthetically appropriate development that blends with the best features of each community.

HCW’s three partners took the initials of their surnames to name their company. Richard Huffman, Santo “Sam” Catanese and Marc Williams are the principals, and they have taken their small company to one of the strongest development companies in the Midwest.

Offices are located in Wichita, Kansas, and headquartered in the astonishingly successful tourism town of Branson, Missouri, HCW projects contribute to Branson’s continuing popularity with visitors. In 2006, HCW helped to put a fresh, upscale face on Branson with the completion of Branson Landing, a development of more than $400 million that brought upscale shopping, dining, lodging, residential and entertainment opportunities to the town’s downtown lakefront area. HCW’s partnership with Hilton International brought two Hilton hotels and a convention center to Branson. Scheduled for 2008 is the opening of the Payne Stewart Golf Course, a tribute course featuring a museum being developed in collaboration with the late Stewart’s family and friends. The golf course is the centerpiece of a 1,200-acre residential and commercial development at Branson’s northern edge.

HCW’s fingerprints can be found on several other top-quality projects in Branson. Dixie Station Shopping Center, Thousand Hills Golf Resort, Fall Creek Resort, Cedar Ridge at the Woods Resort, Grandvista at Emerald Pointe Resort, Branson Yacht Club, the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum and Theater and adjoining Celebration Plaza, and Vista Plaza shopping center are among their developments.

In other states, HCW real estate developments reflect the same superior quality, attention to the environment, and community enhancement as Branson’s hallmark properties of Branson Landing and Branson Hills. Numerous residential and commercial properties developed by HCW can be found in Arizona, Kansas, Mississippi and Texas.

HCW’s vision provides for specific needs within the community. New development often brings new jobs, and housing the workers is an accompanying need. HCW has brought numerous housing projects into communities in several states. Affordable multi-family and single-family housing developments are built with the same attention to quality and environment as HCW’s largest commercial projects.
