montage-deer-valley-park-city.jpg  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.

Park City Utah's $55M Property

By Todd Anderson

            Park City real estate encompasses many showcase homes and ultra high-end luxury properties. Slope-side homes in The Colony at The Canyons, Upper Deer Valley, Deer Crest, and more as well as golf course homes in Glenwild, Tuhaye and Promontory commonly see price tags of over $5 million (in fact there are over 60 such homes currently listed on the Park City MLS). But the home at 5000 Royal St. in Park City's Upper Deer Valley real estate area with an asking price of $55 million stands apart in the premium Park City property listings.

Park City Real Estate 5000 Royal St

            What makes this Park City home different from the others (apart from the price tag)? There are many features that one would expect of a luxury residence in Deer Valley. The home is over 20,000 square feet and includes 12 bedrooms and 16 baths and custom built furniture throughout. The gourmet kitchen is designed to make a professional chef feel at home while still being a comfortable living area. Exterior spaces offer great gathering areas amid the pines away from nearly any city feel. A large gaming room provides a location for hours of fun and an indoor pool and hot tub make for alternative recreation to the outdoors. Two attached garages provide adequate capacity for transportation. The hillside location provides great views. The home's location, while not slope-side is just yards from the slopes at Deer Valley and minutes from Historic Main St. Park City. These things can be found in many of Park City and Deer Valley luxury resort residences. What 5000 Royal St has that others don't is: a private 60+ acre estate, the size of the estate alone is something that sets it apart; the fact that it is so central to Park City makes it truly one of a kind. While there may be the ability to subdivide apportions of the estate, it would be a shame.  An attached heated garage is capable of storing and show-casing a car or "toy" collection of 20 or more vehicles. The main home lies within a 3 acre fenced and landscaped grounds.

            The construction and materials of this home come with a story as do the residents and guests. The home was constructed with logs reclaimed from the Yellowstone park area of Wyoming. The logs represent the structural integrity of the home as steel beams were not used. This is truly "old world" craftsmanship that took years to complete. The rustic finishes and western feel are authentic and irreplaceable.  The Huntsman family has many fond memories of the estate.  The home has been an escape for Governors, Heads of State and Prime Ministers from around the world.  This home can truly be said to stand apart from other multi-million dollar homes in Deer Valley, Park City, Utah or the world.

Park City's New St. Regis in Deer Valley

By Todd Anderson
Jun 15, 2009

                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.                 For more information on the St. Regis and other Park City and Deer Valley real estate opportunities please contact us.                 Rob Harris - YouInParkCity.com
