The Angel Inn in Branson, Missouri
In Branson, Missouri, the Drever team recently acquired the “broken” Angel Inn. It will soon be transformed into a luxurious, affordable workforce housing complex named “The Penleigh – Branson Row.”
The former owner of Angel Inn noted in a letter recently made public that he had multiple bids to sell his property for prices far greater than the offer he received from Drever Atelier Partners. He made the less profitable choice and sold it to Drever as a gift of sorts to the city of Branson. The upcoming conversion will be a tremendous asset to his town and its citizens.
