One of the areas in Park City where there is value being created by scarcity is Old Town. In the span of years from the mid 1800’s until now most of the lots have been built on. In a typical real estate cycle homes will age and then be torn down to develop new product. The difference in Old Town is that there are a significant number of structures on the Historical Register and these cannot be removed to build new structures. These structures include homes, sheds, garages and even chicken coops. Depending on the historical designation many of these structures cannot even be moved. This is why new construction in Old Town is so valuable.
That being said there are some exciting new construction opportunities in Old Town Park City.
The Parkite:
This redevelopment of the Main Street Mall is nearing completion. Located on upper Main Street these 15 condos located in the heart of Old Town’s Historic District is a must see for Park City’s luxury buyer. For more information or to view available listings click The Parkite.

There are only three condominium subdivisions contiguous to the Town Lift Plaza ski lift and 820 Park Avenue, which is nearing completion, will be the newest most luxurious of the three. All ten of these condos are under contract.
Single Family Homes:
There is a s home on King Road that is under construction with an undetermined completion date. It will be between 1800 and 2100 sf and have three bedrooms and three baths. There is a possibility that there will be a basement added but at this point we are unsure.
A recent sale of a home on Sampson In the historic district that had all of the bells and whistles. There was no detail over looked. This home had 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms with a total sf of 3,870. This home sold at $4,000,000 for a per sf price of $1,034.
Echo Spur:
Echo Spur is a new Subdivision of 7 homes on Rossi Hill. Most of the homes will have exceptional views up to Empire Pass in Deer Valley. The most unique element to these homes will be the developer’s commitment to building a “Green Home”
45 King Road:
We identified a 10,000+ sf parcel that had a historic home on it and, for one of our investors, spearheaded the process with the city staff, historical planners and the City Council to get it re-platted. A typical Old Town lot is 1,875 sf. By combining parts of 8 different lots that made up this parcel we were able to create two 5000+ sf lots. We also worked to get the design and plans approved for a new home that incorporates the historic home. Construction is now underway on a 3400 sf home 1 ½ blocks from the top of Main Street on a flat lot a shared private drive. The views are exceptional. This home should be available in early summer of 2016. For more information contact Rob@YouInParkCity.com
