Default ownership
If you stop and think about it, the developer is using the "Disney" model, develop the properties, own some of the amenities/restaurants etc. and then turn them over to chain franchises. The Disney company did the same thing, they originally managed all of the restaurants and then as time moved forward they began to "affiliate" or partner with others like Hard Rock Cafe. It is one of the business models used now by many including the YMCA.
