Progress on Deer Valley's New Sister Resort

[BenedictGomez]

True for now on the food options. But as that village location starts to infill with room capacity, dining and beverage options should expand quite a bit. Hard to plunk those establishments down before you have the foot traffic density to support in an out of town village location.

The buildout of Mayflower is going to be massive, complete with even an ice ribbon; there'll definitely be more dining options and everything else. Where the workers are going to come from is anyone's guess, as workers can no longer afford to live here; and it's not easy convincing everyone to make the Parley's climb every day, which is a real slog of a drive in inclement weather. More temporary Argentinians and Costa Ricans would be my guess, like the Vail employees I met recently who crowd 15 people into a 2BR house in Colorado. I wondered if the owners are aware (I didnt ask).

Agree!

It's like the Seaport Distrcit in Boston, when they 1st built the Convention Center there, it was pretty barren for surrounding hotel rooms, dining options, etc. Now it's full of dining and entertainment and room options, but that process took a solid 15 years, and had the Covid year shenanigans some what in the middle of what was a decent growth phase for the area, before getting back on the growth trajectory

What they've done with the Seaport district in Boston is amazing. The area is very vibrant now. Same with the Wharf area in DC which was barren as well 10 or 12 years ago. If the Mayflower area gets half as good as either of those places one day it will be a success.

Agree on the employee front. But to be honest, that is not just a western issue. Even up here in Maine, it has become a real problem at both SR and SL especially.

Wow, the Deer Valley East built out is going to be massive assuming it all gets approved...

Approved? Who would approve it? You realize that this is a "special" project that is in a "military installation" program created by the state and is not subject to any oversight or land use approval process.

Wasatch County places a bet with MIDA, and still gets some tax revenue in the deal - Park Record

The Utah Military Installation Development Authority’s Wasatch County Mayflower project is a lot of things. It’s 100 hotel rooms accessible to members of the military and their families. It’s the other 287 rooms to be used by the public in part to help subsidize the military’s preferred rate...

Well it looks like 6k new homes and 1700 hotel rooms are coming your way then...

Yep. It's not my backyard. Apparently Sundance is now in on this "program". I fail to see how it benefits the men and women of our armed services. It only benefits the real estate developers.

If service members can get a ski on ski off hotel room during the heart of ski season at one of the fanciest ski resorts in the country for $200 a night give or take that seems like a pretty nice perk. I know my brother and his friends will take advantage of this.

With that being said, the developer definitely wants to turn a profit and this set-up was a pretty good excuse to bypass community approvals to build things out the way they want it. Let's hope it turns out great. From my experience staying in the East Village this winter, the developers are off to a positive start.

6000 new units? We are going to need more ski resorts and terrain in UT.

Those huge home prices are going to start to come down if this gets built out. DV will no longer have the appeal that it once did when it is just another crowded ski resort.

Arguably DVR has already lost its charm.....

Agreed, I never really got it there to begin with.
