TAHOE CITY, Calif. – In 2018, MJD Capital Partners took the helm of what was then known as the Tahoe City Inn, transforming it into the vibrant Inn at Boatworks.

In 2019, MJD bought Boatworks Mall, a long-standing cornerstone of the North Shore community. Through the combined ownership of the inn, mall and office space, the Boatworks team has revitalized it and made it a destination.

“The commitment to stewardship to Lake Tahoe and revitalization of Tahoe City has been at the forefront in decision making each year, with over $1 million invested in renovating the inn and achieving a remarkable 30% increase in occupancy at the Boatworks Mall,” said Marie Murphy, MJD’s founder and CEO. “We take pride in the sense of place we have fostered for the Lake Tahoe community through our investments, community-oriented events, and sponsorship of local nonprofits whose aim is to continue to preserve and better Lake Tahoe.”

In 2020, Boatworks introduced the first mural to Tahoe City through the patronage of Doomed Movement’s “Floral Freestyle 1.”

Boatworks fosters collaborations with nonprofits and small businesses to provide space for art, health and fitness, wine, commerce and retail.
