Residences in Colorado's Summit County Set Luxury Residential Precedent

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo., June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury finally arrives in the Summit County of Colorado. Two of the most unique mountain developments to ever enter Colorado's Summit County marketplace will be delivered by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. Breckenridge, CO will soon welcome the arrival of the Fairmont Residences, Shock Hill and Fairmont Residences, On the River, both anticipated to open in 2010. The exclusive new luxury branded residences are bound to become two wonders of the real estate world, thanks to an unmatched location, a design dream-team, world-renowned management and a true commitment to sustainability.

Says John Niemi, CEO of Mesa Homes, "These projects have a special place in my heart; they are magical. You can catch trout on the picturesque Blue River in the morning and then spend the afternoon minutes away either skiing Breckenridge or playing Breckenridge's championship golf course. Our team has taken no exceptions to ensure that these homes surpass anyone's expectations. We are confident knowing that Fairmont, whose reputation for excellence is known across the globe, will continue our mission to provide only the best."

Located, quite literally, at the Shock Hill Midway Station of the new BreckConnect(TM) Gondola, the $160 million Fairmont Residences, Shock Hill is perfectly situated in a pristine location within the Ten Mile Mountain Range, Mt. Baldy, the White River National Forest, and neighboring Town of Breckenridge. Perched on a high ridge line, Shock Hill commands unobstructed 360-degree views of Cucumber Gulch, a protected wetlands habitat that will forever remain undeveloped. The luxurious residential development offers a total of 87 units, including one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums and penthouse residences.

Just two miles away, Fairmont Residences, On the River includes 60 high-end paired residences and 60 lavish condominium units. Nestled amongst the whispering mountains and directly on the cascading Blue River, world-renowned for gold medal fly-fishing, the homes are private but not remote.

Just minutes away from both communities are shops, galleries and cafes in charming downtown Breckenridge. Nearby are some of North America's premier ski resorts and five championship golf courses, including the Jack Nicklaus designed, 27-hole Breckenridge Golf Club. For every season, there is an activity, a new passion: snowboarding, boating, biking, ballooning, fishing, and hiking.

The developments' style, termed "Rustic Zen" by the design team, incorporates the tradition of National Park Architecture with a sleek international flair. Enhancing the environment's own natural beauty, the design team created a "livable landscape" utilizing eroded stone, floor to ceiling windows, grand timbers, vaulted ceilings and thoughtful planning for unique niches and high-end details. Amenities are plentiful including an infinity pool, hot tubs, outdoor fireplaces, underground parking, Cafe & Market, spacious fitness facility, and hybrid shuttle service to Town and the ski resort. Fairmont Residences, Shock Hill will also feature a full service luxury spa with massage/treatment rooms, hydrotherapy rooms, juice bar, and spa lunches. They are dream residences created by a dream team. Secluded and comfortable, open and airy, exclaiming true elegance as natural as their warmth.

Complementing Fairmont's position as a leader in responsible tourism, a dedicated effort to consider "green development" for internal design elements includes long-term energy savings tactics, use of reclaimed and sustainability-grown cabinetry and low VOC paint, as well as a "dark sky" policy incorporating down-lighting both inside and out. Additionally, the team is adamant about creating a more sustainable wetlands and forest habitat.

Shock Hill Lodge gets Final Approval

Below is an article that was featured in the Summit Daily News regarding the Town Council approval of The Shock Hill Lodge & Spa:

BRECKENRIDGE - Breckenridge Town Council passed the planning commission decisions at this week's meeting, which included the approval of the Shock Hill luxury condo project at the midway station of the BreckConnect Gondola.

The Shock Hill Lodge and Spa will have about 100 units that are being released in six phases for between $1 to $4 million. The parking will be underground and a hybrid shuttle service for residents is part of the project that will also involve sustainable building.

Now, with the recent approval, the plan is to go to contract at the end of February with a groundbreaking in May or June and expected completion in late spring 2010, officials said in a previous interview.

More than a year ago, Mesa Homes brought the project to the Town Council and councilmembers shared concerns about the impact the project would have at Cucumber Gulch. Since then, the project evolved as the developer gained input from the Town.

At the Tuesday afternoon work session, Council member Eric Mamula said while he would still like to see nothing built on the site, they have a right to build and "this is a right compromise."
