# Oaks Capital Group (OCG)

> Oaks Capital Group is a design-led residential company in Sarasota, Florida. OCG designs and curates luxury residences — two semi-custom models (Gather and Escape) and one fully custom estate (Celebrate) — and curates renovations of signature homes. Construction is performed by licensed Florida builder partners under their own agreements; Oaks Capital Group LLC is not a contractor. Home watch and home care are provided by Haven Free, an independent company and a qualified partner of OCG (https://www.havenfree.com). OCG runs a documented Quality Management System; every firm it introduces — builders, interior designers, architects, engineers, and specialists — is first qualified under that system, and qualification is non-exclusive. Brand promise: "Live beautifully. Live well." Positioning: effortless luxury for the seasonal Florida owner — "Leave without worry. Return without work."

## The OCG Residences

Three residences for half-acre homesites in Sarasota and surrounding Gulf Coast golf-and-country-club and coastal communities: two semi-custom models (Gather and Escape), each personalized with layout options and two finish levels (Prestige and Platinum), and one fully custom estate (Celebrate), designed to whatever size and program the client's requirements call for — so no two OCG homes are alike. Each residence is designed and curated by OCG and constructed by a licensed Florida contractor. The semi-custom models run approximately 3,900–4,350 SF; Celebrate has no published size. Transitional Florida architecture; wellness infrastructure standard in every residence (PureAir air quality, PureWater water systems); resort-style outdoor living; a dedicated office in every plan; golf-cart storage and charging; low-maintenance, lock-and-leave design for seasonal (November–April) ownership.

- [Gather](https://www.oakscapitalgroup.com/residences/gather/): The Social & Entertainment Villa — semi-custom, 4,050–4,350 SF, 4 bedrooms + dedicated office, 3-car side-load garage, 500–900+ SF outdoor living, transitional Mediterranean courtyard/coastal estate, signature 30–40 ft pocketing Gathering Wall. Available in Prestige and Platinum finish levels.
- [Escape](https://www.oakscapitalgroup.com/residences/escape/): The Wellness & Sanctuary Villa — semi-custom, 3,900–4,200 SF, 4 bedrooms + dedicated office, 3-car garage + golf-cart storage, 500–900+ SF outdoor living, British West Indies coastal architecture, deep 12–16 ft verandas, signature integrated Resort Bar. Available in Prestige and Platinum finish levels.
- [Celebrate](https://www.oakscapitalgroup.com/residences/celebrate/): The Classic Country Club Estate — a fully custom home designed around each client's requirements (design, architecture, construction by a licensed builder partner, and full systems commissioning). Size, room count, garage arrangement, and orientation are set by the client, so no square-footage range is published; one commissioned plan runs 5,948 SF living / 8,368 SF total (https://www.oakscapitalgroup.com/assets/img/celebrate-floor-plan.webp). Classic Mediterranean Revival architecture with signature Celebration Pavilion. Every Celebrate commission includes its first year of Haven Free ALWAYS.

Separately, every OCG residence is engineered for two operating states: **Home Mode** when the owner is in residence and **Away Mode** when they are not. These are built-in operating modes of the residence itself, distinct from Haven Free's AWAY, HOME, and ALWAYS memberships.

## Wellness & Building Performance Standard (PureAir & PureWater)

- **PureAir**: High-performance filtration and fresh-air ventilation, dedicated Florida humidity management, indoor air-quality and CO2 sensors, low-VOC materials, and quiet, balanced HVAC.
- **PureWater**: Whole-house water filtration and conditioning, purified drinking water at point of use, smart leak detection with automatic water shutoff, and mobile alerts while away.

## Home Watch and Home Care — Haven Free (Independent Qualified Partner)

- [Haven Free at OCG](https://www.oakscapitalgroup.com/haven-free/): OCG refers its owners to Haven Free, a qualified partner and an independent home watch and home care company serving Sarasota and Manatee Counties (Haven Free LLC; https://www.havenfree.com). Haven Free watches the house while the owner is away, cares for it while they are here, offers personal services, and coordinates licensed trades for repairs and improvements, with one named Home Manager and a same-day report with timestamped photographs after every visit. Three memberships: AWAY (for the months you are gone), HOME (for the months you are here), and ALWAYS (both, year-round, with priority scheduling). Plans are drawn from an assessment of each home; pricing is not published. Haven Free LLC and Oaks Capital Group LLC are separate companies that share a founder, Jeff "JW" Johnson. Haven Free is a service mark of Haven Free LLC.

## The OCG Process & Construction Record System

Seven stages:
1. **Discover** (site, lifestyle, and program)
2. **Design** (architecture, interiors, and landscape as one coordinated vision)
3. **Engineer** (structure, comfort, air, water, and technology resolved before construction begins)
4. **Build** (constructed by licensed Florida builder partners on an open-book basis)
5. **Curate** (lighting, finishes, millwork, and details tuned as a whole)
6. **Deliver** (every system tested, commissioned, and documented from day one)
7. **Keep** (year-round home watch and home care through Haven Free)

Through the OCG Client & Qualified Partner Portal (`https://www.oakscapitalgroup.com/portal/`):
- **Client Portal**: Property owners building a new residence or completing a renovation access a unified 6-pillar portal covering Design & Selections, Contracts & Statements of Work (SOW), Project Management & Milestones, Site Observation Schedules & Reports, Open-Book Budgets & Invoices (with direct QuickBooks Online Plus payment), and a permanent Project Records & Home Handover Library — plus self-service Profile management (profile photo, password/passkey security, secondary recovery email, and seasonal property service delivery information).
- **Qualified Partner Portal**: Qualified architects, engineers, builders, and specialty partners access a scoped 8-category workspace to submit and manage Contracts, Statements of Work, Status Reports, Site Pictures, Quotes, Lien Releases, Invoices, and Related Scope Information for their assigned projects.

## Who OCG Designs For

Couples and families, often with a northern or Midwestern primary residence, who spend roughly November through April in Sarasota and the Florida Gulf Coast (or live here year-round). Most are rightsizing rather than downsizing: they want better architecture, healthier air and water, resort outdoor living, and less maintenance in established golf-and-country-club and coastal communities.
