Last week, I attended a presentation of the conceptual design of Thunderhead located slope side at Steamboat in Ski Time Square. The Atira Group is behind the wheel of this very large redevelopment site of the former Thunderhead Lodge and Condominiums.
They are proposing 2 buildings, 390,112 gross square feet, approximately 100 units (whole and fractional ownership) a mixed use including retail, restaurants and amenities. Of particular interest to me, they are proposing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver designation and have already taken measures during deconstruction to satisfy the reuse of materials component in LEED. Factoid: They crushed enough concrete on-site from the deconstruction to save 600 trips to the landfill.
They are partnering with a 5-star hotel operator, name undisclosed.
It is tall, so there are height variances in exchange for some of the public good such as LEED, Ski Time square turnaround, public promenade, etc. They are hoping to extend the normal 3 year grace period for pulling the building permit to 5 year grace period given the current market conditions and so they can begin the pre-sales.

Atira moves ahead in a troubled market

The latest article from Green Acres, my column in The Steamboat Local. The Green Building Program for Routt Co and Steamboat Springs was adopted and will be launched this year. The first year will be voluntary basis. More details forthcoming as Bob Keenan and Routt Co building department prepare for the education and logistics. Also, look for ENERGY STAR workshops to enhance the education of this program. Stay tuned or subscribe to my blog, as I will have the latest information on this worthy program for our community.
My first trip to St. Cloud Mountain Club in Steamboat was last night because I was invited to watch the National Championship. First of all, let's get the horrible outcome of the game over with, because as an OU alum, this was not my hope as I dawned my red sweater in honor of the Sooners. What a bummer!
Luckily, my surroundings spoke to my other senses. The sleek mountain contemporary stylings, multi-media art, comfortable bar, seeting pods, inviting indoor/outdoor fireplace, substantial locker room with boot warming rack like I have never seen, delicious Chardonnay and fun with clients and friends took my game time anxiety away.
If you like to be pampered, have your car parked, have your skis ready for action, your boots warmed, a cappucinno before you hit the slopes or a hot toddy after you the slopes, you might want to consider this membership.
Jamie Temple and Co. did a great job integrating this special space into the Torian Plaza offerings. The passerbies really wonder who is lucky enough to be sipping their "Dom" while basking in the luxury of these surroundings.
Call or email me and I'll steer you in the right direction.

From the Steamboat Pilot & Today:
"Month of November sees 32 home sales"
"Five home sales priced between $900,000 and $1 million, a price point that has not been active this fall, helped the Routt County real estate market attain $26 million in home sales in November.
Those sales accounted for $4.8 million in dollar volume. In addition, there were six sales between $1 million and $2 million, representing $9 million in sales.
According to statistics researched by Bruce Carta of Land Title Guarantee Co., there were 11 transactions for homes priced between $200,000 and $500,000, totaling $3.9 million, about 15 percent of total dollar volume for home sales in November."
On a related note, there has been a lot of activity and in some cases multiple offers on some properties priced from $1-3 million. The good news is that there are daily price reductions and more realistic pricing on new listings. So, the savvy buyer recognizes it and is taking advantage of it. Interest rates are at some of the lowest rates in years. What we all know, is that they will eventually go up! So, start talking to a local lender to see what your options are in Steamboat.
Let me know how I can help you navigate this everchanging market. It is a great time to find your dream property here, no matter what size. www.YourSteamboatHome.com or 970.819.4897
The numbers definitely reflect a slower holiday week. Around 2.8 million in sales which include a couple Olympian closings. By the way, if you haven't been into the Olympian you should get down there. They did a great job with creating an open loft feeling while including some contemporary mountain flair. Views are fabulous from the top floors and this development gives the best experience of loft living downtown. All of you urbanites, get here so I can show you around the new downtown developments and maybe get some good skiing in. The snow is incredible! www.YourSteamboatHome.com 970.819.4897

Angela's love for Colorado began at the age of 10, when her family made the first ski trip to Colorado from Tulsa, OK. At a very young age, she committed to move to Colorado and did so in 1991. Moving from Denver, she feels as though she has reached her destination in Steamboat Springs. She now understands what others have called "The Yampa Valley Curse". She is excited to continue her sales career in this quickly changing real estate market and experience all of the great things that this community offers.
She has her BBA in marketing and advertising from the University of Oklahoma and has spent most of her career in sales and management. To enhance her real estate career and feed her passion, Angela received her EcoBroker certification in 2006, to be Steamboat's first. While she sells all types of real estate, this certification and her involvement in the local building community is a bonus to her clients. Her knowledge of energy-efficient and sustainable design continues to expand, as does the demand for those types of properties. In addition to her lengthy sales career, she has been involved in start-up companies including a local non-profit and loves the entrepreneurial spirit that is pervasive in Steamboat Springs. She consistently searches for innovations in marketing and strives to keep her clients up to date with her blog at www.yoursteamboathome.com/blog.
She is the Chair of the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council and has been integral in the start-up of this local non-profit that is focused on advancing sustainability initiatives in the region. She has written articles in HomeLinkmagazine and currently has a column called "Green Acres" in The Steamboat Local. Alpine skiing brought her to Colorado and is still her favorite winter sport, but recently has discovered mountain biking. Other interests include hiking 14ers, reading, cooking, art, interior design and giving back to the community.

What my clients say:
"Angela's dedication to getting the job done while keeping my best interest in mind were what allowed me to sell my townhome for asking price and find and purchase the home I wanted in 4 months. She provided the highest degree of customer service and professionalism with her attention to detail, accessibility and knowledge of the real estate market. Her in depth understanding of the buying/selling transactional process/paperwork saved me both money and time."
Angie Mangiardi "Angela's knowledge of the Steamboat Springs area and real estate market was incredibly helpful. You were very patient and professional in leading our search for a new home. Your service prior to closing is only exceeded by your post closing follow up." Stan and Jody Wagoner "We worked with Angela for almost a year looking for the right condominium to purchase in Steamboat. After meeting in person while there on vacation in the summer of 2008, we corresponded regularly by email and telephone for the next 11 months looking at alternatives that Angela kept sending us. She grasped early on what we were looking for and was very patient with our inquisitive nature as we explored the pros and cons of the options being considered. Being out of state residents and working full time complicated the process for us but Angela was always there when we needed answers. When we visited a second time in May 2009, Angela took us to see a number of condo candidates, we made a decision and struck a deal which she helped negotiate with the developer. We can honestly say Angela went above and beyond to assist us, so we recommend her highly." Gloria and Jim Davis
