March 5. BROOMFIELD—Vail Resorts announced what it calls “the most ambitious green development project in the North American resort industry” on Monday, March 5.
CEO Rob Katz said the $1 billion project, which is slated to begin selling properties in 2009, will transform the West Lionshead site into a multi-resort village of residences, a hotel, offices, retail shops and restaurants, mountain operations facilities, a public parking garage, a new gondola and related skier portal and a public park.
Named Ever Vail, the concept includes one million square feet on 9.5 acres.
Ever Vail has applied to be part of the U.S. Green Building Council’s pilot LEED for Neighborhood Development program. Vail Resorts plans to develop 100 percent of the project’s buildings to meet LEED criteria.
