It’s been a few years since Vail’s reconstruction began, and while many of the projects have finished including the Arrabelle and the Vail Plaza Club a new batch of luxurious lodges, hotels and condos are projected to be completed in 2010. This second batch has certainly caught our attention; from the stunning Club at Solaris to the highly anticipated Ritz Carlton in Lionshead there is plenty to be excited for.

Truthfully, Vail has reached a new pinnacle in which it now accommodates more guests than ever, looks amazing and has certainly solidified its reputation as a world class skiing destination. Below we’ve highlighted a few projects that will certainly grab your attention, from revolutionary design to flawless guest service each soon to be finished project is a quality investment of your time or interest.

The Club at Solaris

Estimated Completion: April 2010

Since its beginnings the Club at Solaris (previously discussed here) has garnered attention, its set out to revolutionize not only design in Vail but how the real estate market works. The Club at Solaris is intriguing because it offers a wide array of fractional ownership opportunities with unique twists, the premier offering is a membership guaranteeing accommodation at any time of the year and whenever and however often you desire it. Limited ownership guarantees this as an illustrious investment, but it has a myriad of perks that include great access to Vail Mountain and the Village as well as the extensive amenities located in the building.

The Ritz Carleton Residences at Lionshead

Estimated Completion: November 2010

No longer will the Ritz Carleton in Bachelor Gulch (reviewed here) gain all of the Vail Valley’s praise, it will have to learn to share with its compatriot located in the newly renovated Lionshead Village. This stunning building will feature over 100 residences ranging in size from 2 to 6 bedrooms; these great accommodations will be complemented by stunning interiors and a wide array of amenities. Yet it’s the Ritz Carleton’s superior guest service and attention to detail that solidifies its reputation as one of the leaders in luxury residences. This is certainly going to have a pronounced effect on Lionshead Village as the Ritz Carleton and Arrabelle will reinvent this smaller, more reserved village of Vail.

Fractional Ownership is a great method of reducing the inconvenience and cost of owning a vacation home in Vail or Beaver Creek, through a deeded contract owners receive ownership for a predefined adjustable fraction of the year.  This reduces your cost as you’re not buying the unit in full, have less responsibilities for maintenance, and don’t see the unit go to waste when you’re not using it.

If these images of One Willow Bridge or the concept of Fractional Ownership have caught your attention feel free to contact our knowledgeable, local real estate brokers at 1-877-411-8245.  We’d be more than happy to converse with you and can provide detailed information regarding Real Estate in the  Vail Valley.  Our company’s free lance Real Estate component specializes in matching clients with their dream home, because we’re not committed to pushing or selling any single property we can provide a wide array of options to help you find exactly what you want.

      The fastest growing segment of the travel industry is in fractional ownership sales. The newest properties feature locations, luxury, cost, and convenience that provide the owners with incredible value while guaranteeing their families unforgettable vacation experiences forever. 

     When real estate is the topic, obviously people ask about location, location, and location. In Vail and Beaver Creek specifically, there are literally twelve fractional properties currently available. Due to popularity and demand, there could be as many as sixteen in the next five years. Most of these properties have fabulous locations right in Vail Village where you walk right to the lifts, or actual ski-in/ski-out in Beaver Creek. Owning a whole ownership property with these locations often would require an investment ten times greater.

      Typically, most fractional properties feature luxurious high-end finishes throughout the available homes. This is certainly true for the properties offered in the Vail and Beaver Creek areas. It is the quality of these homes coupled with their excellent locations which create significant value for the owner.

      One of the most compelling reasons to purchase fractional ownership is cost. Although the size of the fraction differs from property to property (usually ranging from 1/4 to 1/13 interest), buyers can own the time they need without completely breaking the bank. For vacationers that are committed to skiing Vail and Beaver Creek, their vacation dollars are channeled into a deeded asset that can be willed or resold. Prices specifically range anywhere from $50,000 to $1.9 million. One large difference for fractional ownership is it equates to a greater asset than timeshare weeks, and have shown potential for good appreciation. A fractional ownership rarely is considered a great “investment,” however, and should not be purchased typically as a property to flip for profit. As with any situation, there are exceptions for truly rare offerings with overwhelming demand.

     Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, fractional ownership offers its owners a convenient, easy, and hassle-free way to vacation. The Homeowner’s Association or maintenance fees for the property are always completely inclusive of all related expenses to home ownership and property management. What does this mean? It means the owners just show up, enjoy the time with their family, and leave with a smile on their face. Most properties offer year-round storage, so they simply leave their skis and equipment behind, and when they return all their skis have been stored, tuned, and waxed for their next round of fun.

     Another major consideration for fractional ownerships is the scheduling process. Every program is a little different so a buyer should always seek representation to make sure they are getting into the right ownership for their use needs. The ability to be flexible with dates, although sometimes impossible with kids’ school schedules, allows any schedule to work better for the owner. There are options for “fixed” week programs also.

     There are many ways to get involved with owning a part of the Vail and Beaver Creek vacation experience.The most popular way today is to secure a fractional ownership which allows folks to own only the time they need while enjoying luxurious vacations every year without the headaches of maintaining a second home.
