Seasoned Professional Joins OakLeaf Plantation Team

December 20th, 2007 — At 6,400 acres and home to more than 4,000 families, OakLeaf Plantation is among the largest master-planned communities in the region. And one of the fastest growing at that. As such, the community has retained seasoned professional, Christyann Burgoyne, as Community Manager to ensure the highest caliber facilities and resident service.

As the Community Manager, Burgoyne is responsible for coordinating and managing the day-to-day operations at OakLeaf Plantation, including some of the most spectacular amenities in the region. Among her many duties, Burgoyne supervises a resident staff and numerous vendors, all of whom are committed to providing each of the 4,000 families in the community a richly satisfying living experience. “Christyann is a consummate and highly-qualified professional and we are thrilled to have her at the helm,” said Deanna Cope, Vice President of Marketing for The Hutson Companies, developer of OakLeaf Plantation.

Burgoyne received her Bachelors Degree in 1996 from Central Connecticut State University. Her past experience includes a number of management roles with major companies such as Wachovia Bank. Burgoyne began her career at OakLeaf Plantation in 2004 with the YMCA, where she became well-versed in the multi-faceted operations of the development, making her transition to Community Manager both a natural and logical step. Cope continued, “Christyann's past experience at OakLeaf has enabled her to hit the ground running and add immediate value to the community and its residents.”

OakLeaf Plantation features more than 1,400 acres of preservation area; two multimillion dollar amenity centers; five planned schools; two retail village centers; 5.8 million square feet of non-residential space and 15 miles of bicycle and walking paths. OakLeaf has set the standard for master-planned communities and has maintained a strong foundation of family-friendly development practices, creating a unique natural, residential and commercial environment.
