What we build
Lodging
Places to stay that fit the town, from small inns to base-area hotels.
Housing for the people who work there
Homes for lift crews, instructors, nurses and teachers, close to where they work.
The shoulder season
Projects that keep a town busy outside peak season, so businesses can stay open all year.
Room to grow
Mountain communities with land, demand and a local story worth building on.
Who we work with
- Landowners and families with land near a mountain
- Towns, resorts and ski areas
- Employers who need to house seasonal and year-round staff
- Co-investors who think in decades
What we look for in a site
Land and towns where a project can work all year.
Near the mountain
Within easy reach of a ski area, trailheads or a lake, where visitors already come.
A real town
A year-round community with a housing shortage for the people who work there.
Room to build
Land that can take lodging, homes or both, with access and utilities in reach.
Willing partners
Towns, resorts and employers who want the project to succeed.
Where we're looking
California, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington.
The kinds of places we look at
Examples to show what fits, not current deals.
Example
An aging motor lodge near the lifts
A location worth keeping and rooms ready for a refresh.
Example
A family parcel at the edge of town
Land held for generations, close to trails and services.
Example
An underused lot on main street
Room for lodging, shops and homes for local workers.
How a project comes together
Listen
We meet the town, the resort and local employers to learn what's missing.
Site
We find the land and test zoning, access, water and power.
Plan
A mix of lodging and homes for workers, designed for snow and the shoulder seasons.
Build
Local builders where we can, and methods suited to short mountain building seasons.
Operate
We run what we build, all year.
Why now
In many mountain towns most homes sit empty much of the year, while the people who keep the town running struggle to find a place to live.
| Town | Seasonal or vacant |
|---|---|
| Winter Park, Colo. | 79% |
| Breckenridge, Colo. | 66% |

Questions
Do you work with ski areas and resorts?
Yes. Resorts, towns and ski areas are some of our most important partners.
I have family land near a mountain. Where do I start?
Tell us about it through the partner form. We can talk through a sale, a partnership or other options, with no pressure.
Is housing for workers part of every project?
We plan for it from the start. A mountain town needs people to run it.
Can I invest?
Any investment would be offered only through formal offering documents, to investors whose accredited status has been verified under Rule 506(c), where the law allows. Send a note through the partner form and we'll follow up.
