Progress on Affordable housing plan

The Timbers Company is one step closer to meeting their community housing requirements. It has been in the works for a while now but they have partnered with The team behind the Wild Horse Meadows development to built out their affordable housing requirements in Wild Horse Meadows in front of the Steamboat Tennis Center. The city must still approve this plan for One Steamboat Place to begin construction on time this summer. This plan provides the right number of units but City council still needs to better define the requirements for the location of the units inside or outside of One Steamboat Place vs. in the Mountain area.

When One Steamboat Place is approved it is expected to take a little less than 2 years to complete and it will include the construction of a new landing area for the gondola from Wild Horse Meadows and an approx. 1 acre public plaza that connects around to gondola square.

Robb Report recommends One Steamboat Place

The Robb Report just called One Steamboat Place "an unprecedented opportunity" in their coverage of Steamboat's newest and most exclusive ski in ski out luxury condos. The following comments are quoted from their write up "at the end of the run, right in the heart of Mountain Village, a home pretty much unlike anything Steamboat has ever seen. One Steamboat Place. These are private, luxurious residences with picture perfect perspectives of the mountains and the entire valley... only the magnificent interior appointments rival the views. Along with luxurious finishes including heated bathroom floors and true gourmet kitchens are favorite Timbers touches - great game rooms, member gathering areas and one of the greatest mountain spas anywhere. The location, next to the gondola, is incomparable. With fine dining, room service, boutiques, ski valets... One Steamboat Place, and especially its residences, is an unprecedented opportunity."

One Steamboat Place enters the city planning phase

One Steamboat Place will transform base and be a catalyst to make the base area a destination instead of just a way to head up skiing. Preliminary plans show One Steamboat Place creating 34 whole ownership condos and 42 fractional ownership condos. The developers also propose to build 14 affordable housing units within the project. I personally question how well the timeshares will sell.

Steamboat is a more down to earth market where most people prefer to own all of their home. The Steamboat Grand is going to auction after 5 or so years of selling and they have 35 % of their units left to sell. The city encourages time shares to increase the number of warm beds but filling those beds with owners has been a challenge in Steamboat. I think that being in a new village at the base of the mountain may go a long way towards making those sales and this development team brings the level of quality and marketing to bring in the potential owners these time shares would be right for.

One Steamboat Place will go beyond creating luxury vacation units to establish public improvements that will modernize the ski area base. The planner for the project predicts that "One Steamboat Place will transform the south portion of the Steamboat ski base into a model for 21st century ski base design and provide an entirely new standard for future development projects there,".

From the Steamboat Pilot:

Construction of One Steamboat Place would include new facilities for some of the functions essential to the Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp., including a new ticket office and a new children's ski school entry. At the same time, the developers are asking the city for permission to build taller buildings than the code allows. The result would alter some views of Blacktail Mountain and the Flat Tops to the south.

City Planner Suzanne Bott said the developers' application shows ample evidence that they are working closely with the Ski Corp. I think it's exciting to see them working with the Ski Corp. on these opportunities," Bott said.

The site encompasses 4.3 acres and the gondola parking lot. The primary developer is a Carbondale man -- Jim Wells of SV Timbers Steamboat LLC. Whitney Ward and other owners in Wildhorse Meadows own the land One Steamboat Place would be built on. The Timbers group also has developed The Rocks Luxury Residence Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Esperanza in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The plan submitted to the city of Steamboat Springs this month reflects an upper terminal for a people-mover gondola that would deliver skiers and shoppers to Gondola Square from Wildhorse Meadows and the nearby ski area remote parking lot. Bott said the inclusion of the gondola in the development application does not mean it necessarily would be built. The developers say discussions about how to share the cost of the gondola are taking place. Patten said that when built, the people mover would create new energy at the entrance to the ski area and would stimulate new shops and more efficient pedestrian walkways.

Bott said public discussions about One Steamboat Place are apt to lead the community to confront its expectations for the future of the ski area base. "It's a big philosophical leap people are going to have to adjust to," Bott said.
