whj (SABINA DANA PLASSE) : LUXURY PROPERTIES ARE HIGHLY DESIRABLE IN PARK CITY.
HOW IS ELEVATION RISING TO THE DEMAND?

TRACEY JARET: Located at the base of Canyons Village, Elevation fits a unique niche in the market. It offers a brand new ski-in/ski-out residency that feels like a single family home with the highest quality construction and finest finishes. The thoughtful design is dramatic and eye catching. It fits perfectly in the contemporary mountain space buyers want. Each townhome is equipped for easy living with spectacular views facing south towards Iron Mountain. It’s easy to lock and leave.


TONY TYLER: What makes it unique is its location on the edge of the resort core. It’s an infill parcel, so everything around it has effectively been built. Since it is brand new, ground up construction, it can be designed around all the existing buildings. The southern exposure provides a direct view of Iron Mountain and the ski trails while providing maximum natural light before the sun dips below the adjacent peaks. Nothing will ever be in the way of the view because the homes across the street are already built, and the trees are already mature. It’s a great environment and walkable to the village.

GARY SIKORA: The second floor and rooftop also look over the adjacent buildings, providing a great view of the resort itself.

JOAN KRAMER: You can have a lot of space yet feel comfortable and intimate. Sometimes, a large project can feel too big, and finding gathering spaces is challenging. The scale of this and the way that the interiors are designed promotes that gathering space.

“With Elevation, you get the livability f a single family home with excellent ski access and the same creature comforts of a larger residence. Still, you have the convenience of the hotel connection and the maintenance program, which makes it significantly easier to own.”

—Tony Tyler, Development Team Leader,
Columbus Pacific Development


CRAIG ELLIOTT: All the things that they’re bringing up as the development and sales team are really important to have in front of the architect for spaces, so they’re aware of the things they need to do and what is desired, and we can then implement that from a design perspective. It hits upon the design concepts, the space, and different aspects of the site and its view sheds. When you have a site like that, it’s easier for the design team.

TRACEY: Elevation has one of the best locations in the Canyons Village, perfectly located in the upper village, with direct ski-in and ski-out access to the new Sunrise ten person gondola. The timing of this newly built gondola will be in line with the completion of Elevation. Another great benefit of this location is that owners can easily walk into the village core to dine, shop, and take in the entertainment of live music, events, and golf. Elevation is also halfway between Kimball Junction and historic Main Street. Park City has done an amazing job putting in walking and bike paths for access throughout town. The e-biking makes it so easy for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.

whj: THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM IS LOCAL TO PARK CITY. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT YOUR COMPANY?

TONY: We’ve worked as a ‘development team,’ including architect and general contractor, sales and marketing team, and internal development project management team for over a decade. For us, this is not our first project together. It is just a dream until the architect gets it and starts putting it on paper. From a design perspective, the piece that Craig’s team brings to the table is unique because it creates social experiences inside of the residence that are custom designed for the demographic we are looking to serve. They understand the person, the family, or the multi generational family that will live or visit the home and design it accordingly.

CRAIG: They found my firm when I was working on a project in Old Town with Tony, which was at a prominent location on Main Street. They came to us, and we’ve developed a great rapport and working relationship on several projects since then.

TRACEY: We met 18 years ago, and Tony’s been an amazing asset to the construction team. Things happen for a reason. When you meet people and see something special they possess, you have to act on it and let it flow organically, and it usually works out.

TONY: We have had the good fortune to work in our backyard. It’s unusual in our industry to be able to design places where people can visit, live, work, and play in your backyard, which is pretty special.

JOAN: It’s important to have long term relationships within a design team, sales team, development team, and construction team where we’re all really invested in the project. Nobody is flying in, building something, and running away. People are here in the community, they live in the community, and they take pride in what they are building. Everyone lives and works right here, creating a deeper responsibility for what we are building.

GARY: Our construction team includes the top craftspeople in their fields. These residences are custom designed and custom built for the site in Canyons Village.


whj: WHAT AMENITIES AND CONVENIENCES ARE OFFERED AT ELEVATION THAT DON’T EXIST ELSEWHERE?

TRACEY: The Salt Lake City airport is a driving force for people who want to be here. It’s generational in the way of purchase because they want their adult children and grandchildren to come. The adult children are limited on vacation time because of their careers. The ease of direct flights and just a short 35 minute drive up makes Park City an easy destination.

JOAN: This is the closest ski resort to any international airport, with direct flights linking domestic and international cities.

TRACEY: We have two of the largest ski resorts in the country right here, so it will continue to be a driving force.

CRAIG: It’s interesting in our business as a local resident in a major ski market. Designers and architects in our com munity are discussing a concept that says, ‘Design it yourself, and everyone else will want what you have.’ You know you need to have gear, a place to put your gear, and a drop zone when you walk in the door all these components, and you know what’s important because you live that experience. People who are coming and buying are trying to capture the same experience that you’ve had. It’s an interesting and different design philosophy than what you might think.

TRACEY: When most people purchase an asset like this, there are a few factors to consider. One of the factors I think people should look closely at is the floor plan. A great floor plan allows for gathering spaces, a thoughtful eye on how the spaces flow from room to room, and ample sized bedrooms. With that in mind, Elevation will have beautiful design and luxury finishes. Buyers want an easy purchasing experience, lifestyle, and entertainment. Elevation makes the process easy by offering a turn key home, as most buyers are not here full time.

TONY: In some cases, you can have a multimillion dollar condo, but you’re sharing bathrooms between bedrooms. This isn’t the case at Elevation. It’s the little things you should think about in design that Craig’s team does such a great job incorporating.

GARY: One example for a family is that we’ve got the children on the lower level with bunk beds, the next level is their parents, and the top floor is for the grandparents. There’s a hierarchy within the unit.

TONY: They all have custom designed spaces. There’s a lock off ski and snowboard storage room next to the ski access, and the kid’s room on the lower level has a dedicated family room. The two main bedroom suites feature desk nooks.

JOAN: [Laughing] Which you shouldn’t use on vacation, but sometimes you need a quiet place to take a phone call or return an email.

CRAIG: Living spaces in the mountains are a little larger than normal. It’s done that way because people are coming here to be together, so you’re trying to make those spaces comfortable for them to gather. You’re also going to provide those other spaces so that the kids can be together at some point, and the adults can be together in another place because many of these places are designed for multi generational households. They’re designed for grandparents, parents, kids, and groups of friends, depending on who the owner is, so it’s an interesting dynamic in design that you might not expect in a typical house where someone lives and works every day.

TONY: The number one amenity is outside. It’s the mountain itself. Start with what you’re designing for and then work your way in. That’s the concept that we’re trying to celebrate here. Your ski access is primary. From the ski perspective, you’ve got to figure out where you’re getting on and off the mountain. You are 100 yards from the new signature gondola, the Sunrise Gondola, at Park City Mountain Resort. In the summertime, the ski trails turn into mountain biking and hiking trails. You know exactly where your access to the mountain is, and you focus on that particular location. You build the rest of the design around it, and then, if you’re paying attention to the view corridors, you get to the top story. This is where Elevation shines, with a rooftop deck, a fire pit, a living space, a dining space where people can gather outside, and a private hot tub overlooking the resort. It was designed specifically to take advantage of the height of the buildings compared to the buildings around it, so you get unobstructed views of the mountain.

JOAN: It’s important to note some specifics about the rooftop decks because I think often they’re designed and never used. We have an elevator to the rooftop deck so that you can easily access the rooftop. You can get up there, and multi generations can get up there and really enjoy the space, making it much more usable.

“More and more people are coming here in the summer and early fall. There is so much to do during these seasons. The weather is perfect, with cool mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings to end the day.”

—Tracey Jaret, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Utah Properties


TRACEY: People come here because of the lifestyle, access to our mountains, and to enjoy the amenities the town offers. Park City has done a fantastic job creating paved pathways for walking, biking, and e-bikes. The benefit of these paths and trails is that now, owners and their guests of all ages can jump on an e-bike from Elevation, ride into downtown Park City, and explore and be in nature. Elevation is centrally located between Kimball Junction and downtown Park City, making getting around town easy. Being in the Canyons Village has changed over the years to be a better ski village with new ski properties that buyers are discovering. The Canyons Village Master Association (CVMA) has done a phenomenal job offering live music, a new outdoor amphitheater, winter and summer drone fireworks, an 18 hole golf course, the Food and Wine Classic, great dining options, and shopping all within walking distance from Elevation. The Developers at Elevation have been instrumental in this change.

JOAN: In the past, you may have spent one or two nights in the Village and gone out the remainder of your time. Now, you spend your time in The Canyons and may want to go out one night.

TRACEY: Elevation is fully equipped with a turn key offering. This means each residence is sold fully furnished, including interior elevators servicing each level, a rooftop deck with outdoor living space and comfortable and casual firepit seating, a dining area, lounge chairs to get some sun, and what everyone wants after a day on the slopes a soak in their hot tubs. You don’t see many properties with this amazing outdoor living. Each homeowner will have access to the Hyatt Centric’s amenities, including a fitness center, outdoor pool, restaurants, ski lounge, and homeowner’s association management to care for the property. Owners who would like to generate some rental income can have Hyatt manage and market their properties to rent.

CRAIG: Going back to the roof terrace. One of the interesting things about buildings in the mountains is that they have a fifth elevation and that fifth elevation is the rooftop. The top side of the cube creates a unique place in a mountain setting. You can go up on top in a private space designed to be separated from your neighbors and still have the views up to the mountains. You can experience our weather, which is amazing for many months of the year. You can sit outside. Maybe you need a little heat from the fire in some seasons, but you can enjoy it, and that’s rare in this configuration.

TRACEY: Not many other town developments offer that, maybe hotels, but here it’s your private space.

JOAN: So many people think about Park City, and they think about winter and skiing. Park City is exceptional in the summer. The weather and activities are great, and having that space in the summer to be outside is even more enjoyable.

CRAIG: We spend a lot of time outside in the summer. The opportunity is fantastic.

TRACEY: Our ownership has changed over the years. More and more people are coming here in the summer and early fall. There is so much to do during these seasons. The weather is perfect, with cool mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings to end the day. We are a year round community, whereas other resort towns outside Park City feel more like a village.

TONY: There’s also a long term heritage attached to Park City. The Sundance Film Festival legacy helped to put our town on the map, the 2002 Olympics, and now the Olympics are coming back in 2034, just ten years from now.

TRACEY: There’s a buzz about it. I’m hearing more and more from other colleagues in the marketplace that their clients are talking about it and getting their footing in place before the next Olympics. Ten years out is not very far.

TONY: It’s not just the Olympics. The venues and programming available for all ages were built as part of the 2002 games, such as kids’ programs at the ice rink, where now an Olympic medalist teaches kids how to speed skate.


whj: WHAT TYPES OF BUYERS ARE SEEKING PARK CITY REAL ESTATE? WHO IS A PARK CITY BUYER?

JOAN: As an owner, you can put your unit into a rental pool with the Hyatt. Hyatt will rent out your unit to individuals. Most people take advantage of that during the high season. Whoever stays in the unit or owns the unit can also use the amenities at the Hyatt. You can use the pool, the gyms, the hot tubs, and anything else there, including banquet and room services.

TONY: It makes it easy for an owner to travel because your checkin facilities are already at the Hyatt. It’s adjacent to the property itself. You can check in without a car, and they will shuttle everything over for you and get everything set up for you, too. As an owner, you can also use the hotel amenities, and on the flip side, if you choose to put your residence into the rental program, you can get a little bit of revenue on the side, so it helps offset the cost of ownership when you’re not using it. From our perspective, it’s a beneficial relationship between Elevation and Hyatt Centric at Canyons Village.

JOAN: It’s also like a built-in catering group. If your family is coming in and you’re all getting there at nine on a Saturday night, you can prearrange to have the Hyatt bring breakfast to you in the morning. When everybody gets up, food is there, and everything’s ready to go. It’s one more way to elevate your experience.

TRACEY: It’s easy. Let’s say Grandma comes. She may not be a skier, so she could easily walk over to the Hyatt Centric and take the grandkids, who are little, to the pool. She can walk into the Village. The walkability from that location to all the amenities in the backyard is enormous. People like walkability.

“For people looking to entertain their family and friends in a single family home, the sweet spot is around 5,000 to 6,000 square feet. It’s not more than that. Elevation fits that niche nicely.”

—Joan Kramer, Mountain Pacific Opportunity Partner

whj: WHY DID ELEVATION DECIDE TO ONLY OFFER SIX RESIDENCIES?

TRACEY: It has a boutique feeling because it is a limited offering. The team wanted it to feel special and pay closer attention to all the little details, creating a turnkey experience where you only need to bring a toothbrush and your clothes.

TONY: We originally had a plan for a large building with 32 condominiums. We made a conscious decision to change the configuration to benefit the future residents. We worked with our architect and marketing teams to create something more suited for the location on the ski trail but adjacent to single family homes. When we went through the design process, this product type didn’t exist in the marketplace. It’s similar to a custom single family home but without the hassles associated with their upkeep.

CRAIG: It’s an interesting location. If you consider the hotels, village core, and single family homes primarily across and up the street, Elevation is a great transition because it changes in scale from one to the other. It has access to the Hyatt Centric hotel but lives more like a single family home. There is a demand for this type of townhome, duplex, or single family living that’s attached. There are many different descriptions of it, but the reality is that this type of resort product is, in my opinion, in very high demand but offered in very few places.

GARY: We also think current owners in the area are looking to downsize. When we started, we had people in mind who have owned larger estates, and this demographic is out there looking for a similar quality but easier experience.

TONY: If a buyer is looking for a ski-in and ski-out residence, your mind immediately goes to an estate home. It’s 10,000 square feet, completely detached from the Village but connected to the ski terrain all around you. In these remote locations, your maintenance cost can be overwhelming. With Elevation, you get the livability of a single family home with excellent ski access and the same creature comforts of a larger residence. Still, you have the convenience of the hotel connection and the maintenance program, which makes it significantly easier to own.

JOAN: You don’t need to have a house manager. Someone is on the property if something comes up or a weather event occurs. Someone’s there to take care of things.

TONY: I love the niche word. We’re not trying to compete with the estate homes that are ski-in and ski-out. We’re not trying to compete with the existing hotel condominiums out there, so this is somewhere in between, and that type of product is unusual in the marketplace. It’s further in demand because of the small number of units. It’s unique.

GARY: All Elevation residences have at least a two car garage if you bring a car. There’s also a lock off configuration for a third car garage bay. It’s a lock off garage, so if you’re an owner and want to put your residence in the rental program but keep your vehicle there, you can lock it off with all of your gear and other belongings you don’t want anyone touching.

JOAN: They are not too big, and they are not too small. They’re a niche. For people looking to buy a single family home, and perhaps they’re empty nesters but they want their family to come, the sweet spot is around 5,000 to 6,000 square feet. It’s not more than that. Elevation fits that niche nicely. It has several bed offerings five bedrooms, all ensuite, on every floor plan. We have two different floor plans, and they’re all five bedrooms and five baths, so with all the other addons, the ski storage, the rooftop, the open spaces, and the common areas, it’s got it all.

TONY: It’s part of the intentional design, which has lock offs in specific places inside the residences. The master bedroom has two closets; one is intended to be a lock off, so it’s private for the residence owner. The others are in the kitchen, and downstairs, there is a separate ski and snowboard storage room. The idea is to be as efficient as possible.

JOAN: You shouldn’t have to think or worry about anything. I think the density is so sensitive to the terrain, and this property is a transition point from hotels to single family homes. Having that number of units and that level of density allows you to interact with the terrain and the environment in a deeper way.

CRAIG: Our design group is less worried about creating an icon of a building and more concerned about creating space for people and creating great architecture off of that space. It’s critical when you’re trying to lay out a project on a site that has these types of amenities. It would be very easy to flip that project around and put the living spaces right up towards the ski run, which is very common, but the geography and solar orientation wanted it to look up towards the mountain. When you’re thinking about spaces, it’s important that you put yourself in those places on the property around the site. Our entire development team has thought through all those elements of how the space lives. When laying out the floor plan, we also put the furniture in the space. It’s to ensure people can extend their community, talk to each other, and meet with each other. If you see the kitchen connecting to the dining spaces and how these interact, that’s inherent in the design.

JOAN: You often don’t understand a well designed space until you’re in it. It lives and breathes as part of the environment. As a group, thinking about the space and design, we’re catering to a discerning client. These are people who have traveled all over the world, vacationed in incredible places, and inherently understand how it feels to be in a space that promotes conversation and gathering. The space promotes the concept of people wanting to be together or separate and at peace. How do you design a space where people can gather together, or can you and your partner come for a weekend and still feel comfortable and that space isn’t overwhelming? I think all of those pieces are things everyone thought about as we designed this property.

TONY: We also looked at the design and construction of the residences and how that impacts the environment around us. From a design perspective, we pushed on every sustainability component that we could think of and that exists in the industry. We incorporated several key components from passive house design, creating a building envelope tighter than you would typically see in the industry, which has a positive side effect. The side effect is that the home feels significantly more comfortable because it requires less energy to heat up and less energy to cool down, and they’re quieter on the inside. When you think about it from an environmental perspective, how do we create something that benefits the world around us? Still, you’re also thinking about what effect that has on the people living in, visiting, and staying in that space. We’re sourcing materials from regional suppliers that are sustainable in nature. We are providing photovoltaic solar on the roofs to offset the energy costs. We’ve gone from a traditional gas-fired range to an induction cooktop, which performs significantly better than gas. Gas has been the gold standard for years, but we think our buyer is forward thinking like we are and looking at how we impact the environment around us.

CRAIG: The stovetop ranges are not only better performance wise but taking an open flame out of the space drastically improves the interior air quality. You don’t realize what we all live with, but that’s the true nature of it. If you want to look at being environmentally sustainable in energy use and simultaneously benefit your health and wellness, that was a critical discussion.

TONY: To that end, we’re right on the cusp of legal LEED platinum certification.

GARY: In terms of insulation, the exterior wall makeup of the residences at Elevation is different. Where most people have a two-by-four or two-by-six exterior wall with insulation in the cavities and exterior siding over it, Elevation has that, plus another two inches of continuous rigid insulation between the wall and the exterior siding on the building. The benefit of this continuous insulation is that it acts like a thermal blanket on the outside rather than traditional insulation in the cavity, which is interrupted by the studs in the wall, letting warm or cold air into the home. There are triple pane windows in this project, which are super high performance. Everything is over the top as far as energy efficiency. It is dialed in to be the best of the best.

TONY: We are looking at the carbon footprint associated with the materials used to build homes and making decisions based on the performance characteristics and environmental impact of the products used in them.

JOAN: When it all looks easy at the end, it means a great deal of planning went into it.

“Our construction team includes the top craftspeople in their fields. These residences are custom designed and custom built for the site in Canyons Village.”

—Gary Sikora, Mountain Pacific Construction

whj: WHAT INSPIRED THE DECISION MAKING BEHIND THE INTERIOR DESIGN AND FINISHES?

TRACEY: There are custom designs for the wall treatments, beautiful cabinetry, and the elevator.

TONY: For example, all of the stone will be hand selected prior to installation to ensure that it meets the overall design and cohesiveness of the space. Much of the flooring is custom made, and the wool carpet is unbleached. Many of these touchpoints are being created for excellent comfort.

GARY: We also have some really interesting recessed strip lighting fixtures. Inside the three story staircase, there is a lighting detail in the drywall that extends vertically and across the ceiling at the top floor, creating an interesting effect in the home.

CRAIG: And it’s all energy efficient. You would be surprised at the amount of energy lighting can use.

JOAN: It’s interesting how energy efficient lighting has evolved. Fifteen years ago, when someone said you had to put in energy efficient lighting, the reaction was, ‘Whoa, how do I make this attractive?’ It has evolved to be beautiful and easy to live with lights.

GARY: The lighting and shade package is also controlled electronically.

TRACEY: When an owner is coming to town to spend time in the residence, they can easily open their phone app to set up how they want their arrival to be, like turning on lights, adjusting the temperature control, and operating the blinds with an easy tap. It’s a great way to arrive home.

JOAN: And you can have Hyatt have a spread waiting for you when you walk in.

TRACEY: These details matter to people.

TONY: Audio packages are available if people are interested, but most enjoy their Sonos systems.

JOAN: The acoustics, the warmth, and the soft surfaces of the space have all been thought through.

TRACEY: We are also including a great bunkroom for kids. It’s another thoughtful space to be thinking of the entire family.

JOAN: When we looked at the public spaces in the residence, we looked to see how much sleeping space we had. Does the public space envelop everyone who’s here? Can everyone be comfortable and have a great meeting space together?

TONY: Craig’s team completed the interior design and the concept around what the spaces were intended to look like. Then, we tried to take each individual component separately and figure out if there’s a better way to build it. Almost everything inside the homes is, from a finish perspective, custom designed and intended to be a one off. You won’t walk into another house around the corner and see similar finishes. The palette is intended to be warm but contemporary. It’s comfortable for the residents.

TRACEY: Although the term has been used a great deal, it is true that this is quiet luxury. When people come here, they want to unplug from their chaotic lives. It’s why they come. They come here to spend time with their families and recreate outdoors.

CRAIG: Our office has land planners, landscape architects, architects, and interior designers. We have architects who cross over into the interior design world, our interior designers cross over into the architecture, landscape architects cross over into architecture, and architects cross over into the landscape. We have this great synergy. We don’t always get to work on projects where we can be involved in the entire thing. We prefer that because the whole building can then become its own piece. You’ve been in buildings or houses where the outside looks like one thing, and the inside looks like another. This is not the case here. It is a holistic piece of architecture. The interesting pieces of how you do that are not just about us. It’s working with our clients and our other team members—the development team, the sales team, and the contracting team—to try and find out how all those pieces fit together. As architects, we generally don’t like talking about style. Unless they’re home designers, most architects you will speak to are not typically into talking about style. However, when it comes to architecture, there are pieces of architecture that people identify as different styles that are still timeless and creating that is unique. A modern building might have been designed in the 1930s, 90 years ago, but that basic concept of modern architecture is still being invoked today. We don’t realize how old that idea is, but over time, it’s evolved into a point where we’ve infiltrated vernacular local material, texture, and quality construction techniques to create something that’s not just a white box. It is now a warm, comfortable experience without having to paint and put a bunch of articulated detail on fireplaces, corner molding, and things like that. You do it through the expression of the material because it’s honest and authentic. If you can create something honest and authentic, still carry out a modern connection, and tie it into the local environment, it will have more timeless qualities. It is the unique component of what people refer to as mountain modern or mountain contemporary. A better description would be a mountain building built of its time. This is what we are constantly striving to do as a professional design team.

TRACEY: No one wants to feel that their home is dated in four years.

“If you consider the hotels, village core, and single
family homes primarily across and up the street, Elevation is a great transition because it changes in scale from one to the other.

—Craig Elliott, Architect, AIA, Elliott Workgroup

whj: A NEW GONDOLA IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION JUST A HUNDRED YARDS FROM ELEVATION. HOW DOES THIS MAKE ELEVATION MORE DESIRABLE?

JOAN: This gondola has been designed to hug the mountain, so the likelihood of ‘wind stops’ that could exist with some of the other lifts is far less likely here. At Elevation, you’re right next to the gondola, which will take up more people and help reduce lines, and with the highest likelihood of running every day.

TONY: It’s fundamentally more reliable. It’s a Leitner Poma lift, which just opened a new manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City. Again, it’s returning to regionally sourced local products to the extent possible. Park City Mountain is driving the installation with contributions from the CVMA. The new lift also serves other projects our team developed, including the Apex Residencies and Pendry Park City, so we have a vested interest.

TRACEY: The timing will fit perfectly with Elevation, so it’s a celebration of two things.

JOAN: You can ski back to your house or stop at après Pendry or après Hyatt. It returns to the location the best of all worlds with options for the entire family.

TRACEY: People want the right location. It’s equally essential to have views, ski-in and ski-out, and floor plans on the checklist.

TONY: There is great interest in Elevation. We currently have a limited selection still available with delivery in the ski season 2025-26.
