Future for One Steamboat Place Looking Very Positive

Detailed in a recent Steamboat Pilot article, the financial future of One Steamboat Place is described as stable and looking very positive. According to The Pilot the developers view the unprecedented location as main contributing factors to the condominiums current success in a difficult marketplace. Currently, 36 of the 38 whole-ownership units have been sold, and 148 of the 178 fractional units have been placed under contract. The fractionals available are divided into different categories, either one-eighth or one-twelfth options.

The completion of an entire unit is scheduled for mid-February of 2009. This will allow those interested in becoming a part of One Steamboat Place the opportunity to physically see a furnished unit and experience the feeling this luxury condominium exudes. Along with the completion of a furnished unit, the developers are attempting to begin streaming on-line video progress reports to allow buyers to follow the fast-paced development.

1-year from completion, OSP offers tours of facility

While the first guests will not arrive for another year, One Steamboat Place recently offered tours to demonstrate the progress made within the development. The majority of the facilities were left up to the imagination of those following along, but the structural accomplishments and the space for the intended accommodations were impressive enough. The Steamboat Pilot illustrates the feeling well describing how "in the midst of a recent tour of the building, [David] Burden gestures upward and casually remarks, 'We’re walking directly underneath the swimming pool right now. That’s 1 million pounds of steel and concrete above our heads, and we’re in a parking garage that’s underneath it.”

Along the tour David Burden, the developer, wanted to emphasize that One Steamboat Place is not an inclusive, separate development, but how OSP will integrate itself within Gondola Square. The building layout enhances not only the experience for guests, but also hopes to benefit the community. "When One Steamboat Place finally opens, pedestrians will make use of a new pathway through the giant condominium project, passing underneath a glass-walled bridge to emerge into the sunlight at the base of the ski trails." One Steamboat Place also intends to be a location for the ski-school offices next winter, further bridging the gap between the mountain and surrounding communities.
