Gabriel Amiel and Arnaud Sitbon, Principals of ESJ, stated, "A transaction of this magnitude represents ESJ's largest charter school sale to date, and confirms our early belief in Florida's charter school growth. We are proud to have been early pioneers in the charter school movement and to have successfully built and expanded upon our portfolio of charter schools – many from the ground up."

At the height of the Great Recession, ESJ identified a niche in developing charter schools as an alternative to their traditional commercial investments. The real estate asset management group predicted this asset type would evolve and scale into a mainstream, single tenant investment category, attracting more institutional investors, lenders and bondholders. 

In several of these sold properties, MG3 Developer Group served as the general contractor and stakeholder in the capital investment.
