All in accord, the Town of Breckenridge, Vail Resorts, and DTJ Design have narrowed the possibilities for the development of Breckenridge real estate on the gondola lot. Throughout the year A Client Review Team has been meeting to come up with priorities for the prime Rocky Mountain real estate in Breckenridge. The design team at DTJ presented several concepts that have been narrowed down to two.
One is titled “Extend the Grid” based upon the idea of continuing the similar types of Breckenridge Colorado real estate development that we see in town now. The second concept, “Grand Hotel”, turns the page to a different era— to the days of iconic hotels along the railroad routes such as the Colorado in Glenwood Springs and The Stanley in Estes Park.
According to the Summit Daily News on Apr. 22, 2008, one person on the review team, Council Member and Mayor Pro-tem Eric Mamula is pleased with the progress of the project. He remarked, “Usually the ski area hires someone and we come back and say how much we don’t like it… We’re light years ahead of where we usually are.”
Consensus is leaning towards the Grand Hotel, pending more projection s and analysis. The warm fuzzy feeling that the concept “Grand Hotel” evokes is peaceful and elegant. The building would actually be a hotel, harking back to an era when hotels lined Main Street. The Grand Hotel idea would be a hotel, condos or a condo-hotel.
Regardless of which design is chosen, the gondola lot will incorporate two parking structures, improvements to the Riverwalk, and an enhanced gondola plaza. However, multi-floors of parking will not necessarily look like parking; one side will include affordable housing. A short train will operate between the gondola and Main Street.
This historic town with a full-time population of 3,000 is the county seat of Summit County. The ski resort, popular during the winter months, features ski slopes for every level of skier and terrain park. Summer attracts outdoor enthusiasts to the hiking trails and wildflower strewn meadows, fly-fishing in the Blue River, mountain biking on the award winning trail system, and boating on Lake Dillon.
