“Itap a much different experience – uncrowded lift lines and less pressure on the snow. Itap easier to keep that corduroy looking great.”
East West – the same developer doing those attractive properties in LoDo and Riverfront – has a purchase opportunity beside Snowmass’ Assay Hill lift that Calhoun says makes for a one-of-a-kind moment for a buyer wanting a premium ski property at a value price. In 2009, just as Snowmass embarked on a $100 million upgrade of the mountain’s infrastructure, the Viceroy Snowmass opened as its premier luxury resort hotel, just as the mountain real estate market was headed into the downturn. That created an opportunity for East West to pick up the remainder of the unsold condominium rooms, while remaking Viceroy into its own vision of a mountain resort.
“This remains one of the last opportunities to buy a mountain resort condominium at downturn pricing,” adds Calhoun.
You can be one of the first to view those condos after a $4 million makeover that transformed Viceroy’s restaurant into Toro by Richard Sandoval, and re-envisioned the lobby and spa/fitness areas. All of that matches a $600 milllion transformation of Snowmass Base Village to include a new ice rink, events lawn, fire pits and fountains; a new Limelight hotel with a five-story climbing wall; restaurants and shops – not to mention the resortap new Lost Forest attraction with mountain coaster and ziplines.
Viceroy Residences are not fractionals or timeshares – you buy full ownership of one of 47 suites East West has available, either entirely for your pleasure or to blend your use with Viceroy’s hotel rental program. They range from studio units from the mid-$200,000s to a wide choice of one-and-two-bedroom plans, and some penthouses.
“They’re a great value,” says managing partner Andy Gunion, noting that their cost-per-foot is considerably lower than for new residences now arriving to the village.
You’ll get a virtual-view of units at East Westap sales center in the base village. A dedicated Viceroy Residential Services Team can show you real numbers on how the flexible rental program works for actual buyers, as they combine their use with rental cash flow.
Start with a visit to the website, but the better way is to take a trip up to Snowmass, stop in for a tour of the residences and the premium services, and then experience the difference in the quality of the skiing.
The sales center is at 110 Carriage Way, across from Slice. From Hwy 82 turn south on Brush Creek Road 4.6 miles to Wood Road, then left to Carriage Way.
