Park City Mountain Resort to Improve Base Area
Resort Officials of Park City Mountain Resort announced to the Park City Council and Planning Committee that they are beginning to explore new development around the resort base area.
In recent years the resort has positioned itself as a ski resort operator and not a developer. They now point to new base area development as a way to ensure that they are adequately taking care of their customers as well as increasing capacity for new resort guests.
There have been many rumors in the past about possible resort hotels going in at the base of the resort where the parking lots are currently located. The recent additions of the Hyatt Escala and Waldorf Astoria at Canyons Resort as well as the St Regis and Montage Hotels at Deer Valley leave Park City Mountain Resort without a luxury offering to compete with Deer Valley and Canyons. The lower lots near the base of the First Time Lift and Super-pipe would appear to be the most logical place for a new resort hotel and base area expansion. A Four Seasons Resort Hotel was once rumored for this location; maybe it is a step closer to reality (?).
The plans are still conceptual at this point, but as the supply of new luxury condominiums in Park City dwindles another resort property will make sense. The addition would be great for the Town of Park City as well as the Park City Mountain Resort.

Park City, UT: Montage Resort Deer Valley construction goes on 24hrs per day.
Park City, Utah officials have given Montage Deer Valley Resort developers the OK to work 24 hours per day. This marks the first time in over 30 years that officials have allowed for such a construction schedule. The unique location of the Montage Deer Valley Resort allows for a schedule that should have minimal effect on nearby property owners and guests.
The Montage Deer Valley will sit at an elevation of over 8000' next to the Empire Canyon Lodge and Ruby and Empire Express ski lifts at Deer Valley Resort in Park City. The Deer Valley Ski Resort closes for the season on April 11, 2010 which will minimize the number of guests and owners staying in residences in the Empire Pass area of Park City.
The Montage Deer Valley recently celebrated its "topping off" marking a construction milestone with an evergreen tree placed atop the structure after the last beam was put in place. Over 900 workers are presently working within the wrapped scaffolding construction site. The ability to work 24 hours a day will help keep the resort on track for its anticipated opening in December of 2010. The resort will have 174 guest rooms, a 35,000 square foot spa facility, 15,000 square feet of convention space, multiple dining options including 24 hour in room dining services plus indoor and outdoor recreational spaces.
The Montage Deer Valley recently released its initial pricing for the 81 private residences with prices starting at just over $2 million and ranging up to nearly $8 million. Incentives are being offered to early buyers which include season ski passes at Deer Valley Resort, guided skiing privileges, Talisker Club access and stays at the Montage Beverly Hills or Montage Laguna Beach.
A model residence is complete and available for viewing by prospective buyers. For more info contact a YouInParkCity.com real estate professional.

St Regis, Dakota Mtn Lodge, Treasure Hill, Summit Research Park and more
As the funicular cars fro access to the new St Regis Hotel at Deer Crest in Deer Valley were set to be installed (Friday July 17,2009), local radio station KPCW was airing a story about a Deer Crest residence owner suing the project and its developers.
The radio report indicates that the owner of a home and lot in the lower portion of Deer Crest near the base of the Jordanelle Gondola at Deer Valley Resort has brought a lawsuit against the developers of the St Regis claiming that the developer has improperly changed the original documents pertaining to the parking and access to the hotel at Roosevelt Gap (above the Lower Deer Valley area of Park City, Utah). The complaint stems from the parking that now exists at the hotel and the employee parking lot and shuttle to the hotel from the base area near the gondola. The Deer Crest home owner claims that traffic impacts on the private road through Deer Crest (Deer hollow Rd.) due to the employee shuttles, taxi and limousine service, and service/delivery trucks is outside the scope of the original guidelines for the area and that changes to the guidelines were made improperly.
The St Regis at Deer Crest developers have counter-sued claiming that all changes were made legally and stated that the filing was an attempt to gain access to the amenities of the hotel by the property owner.
In other Park City real estate news, the new Dakota Mountain Lodge at The Canyons Resort in Park City opened its doors for business. The Dakota Mountain Lodge is a part of the internationally renowned Waldorf-Astoria Collection luxury hotels.
The Snyderville Planning Commission has approved guidelines for the Summit Research Park. The research park is an 89 acre development in the Kimball Junction area of Park City just off hwy 224 near the I-80 interchange. The development is scheduled to begin work soon with some road improvements designed to improve traffic flow around the Landmark Dr. Area. The development of the research park with the housing and business construction around it has a possible 20-year build out.
In other planning commission news, the Park City Planning department is scheduled to hear more on the Old Town area Treasure Hill development. This possible large hotel and residential development on the southern hillside above Old Town appears to be moving forward.
The fact that there are major projects finishing up, under construction, and being planned for the near future are positive signs for the future value of real estate in Park City and Deer Valley. These developments will have impacts both positive and negative for many other Park City area communities and developments.

Several clients have asked me if the new St. Regis at Deer Crest will be open for the 2009/2010 Deer Valley® ski season in Park City. And after my tour yesterday of this amenity rich hotel I have to say I believe it will. Everywhere I looked I saw people working, over 400 of them in fact. The 100% wool carpet is going in; kitchen equipment is being hooked up for the banquet kitchen as well as Chef Jean Georges new restaurant. The final touches are being added to features like the waterfall, and the fire garden (my name for it) next to the "ski beach" slope-side pool area. After watching the steady progress over the last couple of years all of the pieces seem to be coming together for the Park City and Deer Valley ski season opening.
Another question I can now answer is: what justifies the price? The condominium and residence units will be appointed at least as well as the other newer luxury homes and condominiums in the Canyons, Empire Pass, Old Town and Upper Deer Valley. I didn't see a residence or condominium without a fantastic view; even those on the first level appear to be about forty feet above the Deer Hollow ski run and look up to other ski runs. But when one considers the Five Star Services and amazing common area which owners of the Residence and Condominium units will include the price seems in line. In my opinion this will be one of the finest real estate offerings in Park City or Deer Valley.
Granted Park City Real Estate has experienced a down turn but I think scarcity will play a role in these condominiums and residences bucking the trend. If you want the level of service, the on hill location and the common area amenities that the St. Regis offers there are only 32 units still available, 8 residences and 24 condominiums. I can't help but think there are 32 more families out there that will see the value in this exceptional project.
