British Columbia’s all-new Revelstoke Mountain Resort releases exclusive single-family lots: Estate-sized properties, some with private helicopter pads
August 29, Revelstoke, B.C. — When Revelstoke Mountain Resort releases its first single-family estate lots for sale next month, it will become one of the only ski in, ski out resort neighbourhoods to accommodate private helicopter pads. “These are exceptionally large lots considering how close they are to the village,” says Don Simpson, the developer of Revelstoke. “Add in the views, access to private helipads, and unparalleled
terrain, and this truly is a unique buying opportunity.” Mackenzie Landing’s 25 lots will range in size from approximately 1/2 to 1-1/2 acres, with anticipated prices of between $650,000 and $1.5 million. The ski resort itself opens for business on December 22.
Every year, more than 8,000 helicopter and snowcat skiers from around the world flock to Revelstoke, British Columbia, attracted by its perfect powder and varied alpine terrain. With the development of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, over 20 lifts and more than 100 ski and snowboard runs are being created, transforming the area into a world-class resort. An eight-person, $22-million gondola and a high-speed quad chairlift—both expected to be operational by the December 22nd opening—represent the first stage of construction; once additional gondolas and chairlifts are completed in the winter of 2008/09, Revelstoke will boast North America’s longest vertical descent: 6,000 feet of lift-serviced vertical. The recent acquisition of Selkirk Tangiers Helicopter Skiing and CAT Powder Skiing will seal the resort’s reputation as a one-stop destination for helicopter, snowcat and lift skiing.
The $1-billion, four-season Revelstoke Mountain Resort is expected to be completed over 15 years and include over 5,000 new housing units (1,500 condominiums, 2,000 hotel suites, 850 townhomes and 550 single-family lots), as well as more than 500,000 square feet of commercial and retail space, and a signature golf course. The resort’s first real estate offering, the 59 homes in multi-phased Nelsen Lodge, sold out in three hours last March; a second phase was released the same day, with more than 80 percent of the homes sold ($70 million worth of property, with over 50 percent of buyers coming from the U.S. and overseas). The last phase of Nelsen Lodge will be released in 2008.
“Mackenzie Landing is, quite literally, going to change the landscape in Revelstoke,” says Ross McCredie, president and CEO for Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. “Indeed, the whole Revelstoke Mountain Resort represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts seeking an authentic resort lifestyle.” Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s principals include Don Simpson, chairman-emeritus of Denver-based Simpson Housing, one of the largest multifamily developers in the U.S.,
and Toronto-based developers Hunter Milborne and Robert Powadiuk, all avid skiers themselves.
