Eastern Metro - Deer Valley's 12 Billion Dollar Buildup To The Olympics

The massive wave of development transforming Park City's Deer Valley and the surrounding Wasatch Back is unprecedented in North American ski history, representing over $12 billion in total capital when combining the resort itself, surrounding private communities, and the overhaul of its historic base.

The figures break down across the three major development zones heading toward the 2034 Winter Olympics:


1. The Deer Valley East Village Base: $5 Billion

The $5 billion plus estimate for Deer Valley East Village serves as the anchor. Developed via a partnership between Manhattan's Extell Development, Alterra Mountain Company, and the Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA), this total encompasses:

• More than doubling the resort's skiable footprint to 5,726 acres.

• Massive infrastructure like 10 new lifts, a 10-passenger gondola, and extensive snowmaking.

• Over 1,700 residential units and 827 luxury hotel rooms, anchored by the newly opened Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, a Four Seasons Resort, a Waldorf Astoria, The Cormont Resort, and a Canopy Hotel by Hilton

2. The Jordanelle Corridor: Adding Multi-Billion Dollar Orbit Valuation

The capital "now building around Jordanelle" refers to the explosion of master-planned luxury communities immediately outside the official resort gates. While there isn’t a single aggregate number because it involves dozens of independent private developers, experts view this growth corridor as adding several billions more to the total regional investment footprint:

• Unit Volume: Official MIDA and county planning forecasts project over 6,000 total residential and hotel units at full build-out across the Jordanelle/East Village zones.

• Real Estate Multiplier: Given that entry-level townhomes around Jordanelle frequently command $1.5M to $2M, while custom homesites and private club communities like Marcella and Velvaere push luxury builds up to $5M to $12M+, the sheer transactional real estate value being erected around the reservoir easily adds $5 billion in private wealth investment.

3. The Snow Park Lodge Makeover: $2 Billion

Back on the Park City side, Alterra Mountain Company is planning a complete transformation of the classic Snow Park Base Area. Official project filings peg the Snow Park Village development at nearly $2 billion. This massive undertaking includes:

• Eliminating the sprawling open-air surface parking lots.

• Building a massive, 1,971-stall subterranean public parking structure and a $30 million multi-modal transit hub.

• Erecting a brand-new pedestrian base village complete with luxury lodging, retail spaces, a ski club, and a new Silver Lake gondola link.

The Snow Park Village & Transit Hub Project - Park City's Deer Valley Resort

Deer Valley secures permit to begin Snow Park Village project

KPCW | By Parker Malatesta - Full Article @ https://skyscraperpage.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=10383796

Deer Valley can now begin constructing the first phase of a new base village in Snow Park, after the Park City Planning Commission unanimously approved a permit for the project.
The ski resort plans to move parking underground to make way for a new base development with 120 hotel rooms, 100 condos, 30,000 square feet of commercial space, an event center, and a new ski club.

Under the permit approved, the resort can build a three-level garage with up to 1,971 spaces. Only 1,360 spaces can be used by day skiers. The remaining parking must be for other visitors, like hotel guests and shoppers. As it is currently, Deer Valley says it can on-street park around 1,700 vehicles today during peak conditions...

Snowbrains.com - https://snowbrains.com/3d-rendering-of-new-snow-park-village-at-deer-valley-resort-ut-revealed/

...The permit also gives Deer Valley the green light to construct an underground transit center and make road, utility, and pedestrian improvements in Snow Park. The resort plans to install a new traffic signal, roundabout, and shared lane around the Snow Park loop for public transit and emergency vehicles...

...The ongoing construction also means no summer concerts in 2026 or 2027. Parking capacity will be at its lowest, with only 400 spots, a 75% reduction compared to peak conditions today, during summer 2026 and the 2026-2027 ski season. The full project is expected to take five years to complete...Ofcourse, allowing plenty of time in preparation for the upcoming 2034 Olympics...

At an open house, Deer Valley provided more details about what a fully built-out Snow Park base will look like.

...Under Deer Valley’s plan, parking and the existing road near the base drop-off will be moved underground to allow space for development.

Jeff Kovel with Skylab Architecture, which is helping Deer Valley on the project, said they’re aiming to make the village a vibrant area.

“We’ve been really working hard to figure out how does one build a project that’s that large, but have it feel really small, have it feel intimate,” Kovel said. “Really looking to kind of the scale of European villages in terms of how those places feel like they’re pedestrian scale, the automobile usually isn’t really present. There’s a great kind of discovery that takes place as you walk through the village.”...

Central Metro East Update - Sunrise Gondola Project - Canyons Village, Park City

COMPLETED For The 25/2026/2027 Ski Season

Toria Barnhart Reporting for the Park Record @ https://www.parkrecord.com/news/sunrise-...medium=email&utm_campaign=record-roundup

Sunrise Gondola receives the OK from Snyderville Basin Planning Commission with overwhelming community support.
Around 80 letters of support totaling 152 pages were submitted with no opposition received

...Park City Mountain and Canyons Village has recently sealed a development agreement to construct a cutting-edge 10-person gondola. The agreement, signed by the board of trustees of the Canyons Village Management Association (CVMA), marks an important step towards enhancing the mountain experience for visitors.

Dubbed the Sunrise Gondola, this state-of-the-art addition will replace the existing Sunrise lift near the Pendry Hotel. Offering unparalleled convenience, the Sunrise Gondola will transport skiers and riders to the Red Pine Lodge, an ascent of over 1,000 vertical feet situated near the Saddleback and High Meadow lifts.

The Sunrise Gondola will serve as the third access point from the Canyons base, joining the ranks of the Red Pine Gondola and the Orange Bubble Express. This development is in response to the long wait times experienced on peak days at Canyons due to limited mountain access options.

With an estimated cost of $27 million, the ambitious project will see the CVMA contribute slightly over $9 million, with Vail Resorts generously covering the remaining funds. Both parties have expressed their enthusiasm for this collaboration and envision the future gondola as a transformative enhancement that will elevate Canyons Village to a world-class destination.

In a joint statement, Park City Mountain and CVMA representatives conveyed their satisfaction in moving forward with this significant investment. They emphasized the positive impact the Sunrise Gondola will have on the Canyons Village experience. They underscored their commitment to partnering to reimagine the resort as a premier global destination.

According to the terms of the agreement, the Sunrise Gondola must be completed within three years of receiving all necessary approvals, including those from the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission. This timeframe ensures a streamlined approach to the project’s execution and paves the way for an efficient realization of the gondola’s construction.

The introduction of the Sunrise Gondola promises a remarkable transformation for Canyons Village. As visitors eagerly await its completion, this new addition will provide improved mountain access and contribute to the resort’s ongoing evolution into an unparalleled destination. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting project as it progresses toward its grand unveiling.

The Sunrise Gondola would follow the ridgeline instead, and the cabins wouldn't be suspended as high in the air as they are elsewhere.

August, 2024

Posted by Quinn Eichner on August 30th, 2024 - New gondola will bring enhanced ski access to the base of Canyons Village and improve already great skiing for surrounding property owners and guests.

Major improvements to ski access to and from the Canyons Village base area at Park City Mountain are underway, with the construction of the 10 person Sunrise Gondola. Scheduled for opening in winter of 2025 / 2026, the gondola should shorten lines from the existing gondola and other access points to the mountain.

The Sunrise Gondola will also enhance already great ski in, ski out access to the Pendry Residences, Lift Condominiums, Hyatt Centric, Sundial Lodge and other buildings surrounding the terminal at the base...

October, 2024

Marina Knight, October 29, 2024 - PARK CITY, Utah – Park City Mountain Resort will debut the new Sunrise Gondola in time for the 2025-26 ski season. Construction of the gondola began in June of 2024. The 6,500-foot-long gondola will run from Canyons Village to a terminal located near the Red Pine Lodge, with cabins designed to accommodate up to ten people comfortably.

The new lift addresses wind-related issues that have frequently affected the Red Pine Gondola and Orange Bubble Express. To combat windholds, the Sunrise Gondola will follow a lower, terrain-hugging alignment with heavier cabins for increased stability, and the lift line will be positioned to the north to provide more natural wind protection...

Eastern Metro - Canyons Village - Park City

New For The 26/2027 Ski Season

A major dilemma that has faced Park City these past few seasons is that its worldwide popularity has at times overwhelmed it with visitors. This problem has only grown since Park City's introduction into the popular 'Epic Pass' and across the street neighbor Deer Valley's 'Ikon Pass'. This popularity dilemma is especially acute during weekends and popular holidays.

Also, Park City sits at the eastern doorstep of an ever-expanding 3 million-person Wasatch Front CSA, and 45 minutes from an I-80 stoplight-free major international airport, which makes the fly-in visitor deluge inevitable. Not only Angelenos and West Coast arrivals, but even New Yorkers and East Coast arrivals can hop non-stop morning flights and be on the slopes of Park City in the afternoon.

Of course, it helps that the Park City ski area, with its back-to-back Woodward Ski Development, expanding Olympic Village, Canyons Village, Historic Park City Ski Town core, and now the hugely expanded Deer Valley, makes it the largest ski area in the Western Hemisphere. This gives the visitor more skiing, shopping, and touristy options than literally any other ski area in the world.

However, even with all of those options the morning rush on popular days can still result in a skier traffic jam. Arriving, parking, and waiting to be lifted from the base to the ski terrain can be a headache in some areas of Park City. For its part, the Deer Valley district controls the number of visitors allowed each day, not allowing arrivals to outpace the resort's famous smooth operations. For the most part, the long lift lines first thing in the morning problem has been particularly exasperating at the Canyons Village district of Park City.

Enter some major changes over these past couple of seasons that will greatly help get the winter ski hounds out of the arrival base and onto the thousands of acres of ski terrain.


Major Upgrades Coming to Canyons Village, Park City For 2026/2027

3 Exciting Updates Transforming the Base area at Park City Mountain Resort:

- Canyons Village at Park City Mountain Resort is undergoing a major transformation designed to enhance the skier experience, improve accessibility, and support long-term growth. From a new enclosed gondola to a state-of-the-art parking structure, and the highly anticipated Sunrise Gondola upgrade, which was completed for the 2026 season. These exciting updates promise to elevate the experience for residents, guests, and property owners alike.

Here are three exciting updates covered below to know about—especially if you’re planning your next ski trip to the Park City area.

Updated for the 2026/2027 ski season - https://parkcityinvestor.com/canyons-village-updates/

Canyons Village Updates – New Parking Garage & New Gondolas

Major Upgrades Coming to Canyons Village Park City

3 Exciting Updates Transforming the Base area at Park City Mountain Resort.


- 1. New 10-Person Enclosed Gondola to Replace the Cabriolet:

The Canyons Village Management Association (CVMA) has announced the replacement of the iconic Cabriolet lift with a new 10-person enclosed gondola. This high-capacity, 10-passenger lift will provide quick transport from the new Canyons Village parking structure to the Upper Village plaza between the Grand Summit Hotel and Westgate Park City Resort, improving convenience and weather protection for skiers and visitors.

Also to be added will be a mid-station stop near the existing bus stop by the Silverado Hotel, providing an additional drop-off and pick-up point. This enhancement would significantly improve access for guests arriving via carpool, rideshare, or public transit.

- 2. Completion of Construction Underway: Canyons Village Parking Structure & Welcome Plaza

In partnership with TCFC, the master developer for Canyons Village, construction is wrapping up for a 26/27 ski season opening on a brand-new multi-level parking garage and pedestrian-friendly Welcome Plaza. This project is part of a long-term vision to simplify guest arrival and support increased access to the resort.

The Canyons Village Parking Structure, located at the southeast corner of Lower Village Road and the Frostwood Drive roundabout, will offer:

• Three levels of covered parking with electric vehicle charging stations

• A pedestrian-friendly Welcome Plaza with escalators and easy transit access

• Improved drop-off, pick-up, and ADA parking areas

• Sustainable materials, including beetle-kill pine cladding and reduced snowmelt usage

The garage has already offered approximately 653 spaces for the 2025/2026 ski season, and will have been completed to 1,840 spaces by the end of 2026. Once completed, this new hub will streamline traffic, reduce congestion, and provide a more comfortable arrival experience for skiers, riders, and visitors. It’s a major win for residents and guests alike—especially those considering nearby Park City condos with convenient access to the slopes.

- 3. Sunrise Gondola Set to Debut Winter 2025–2026

The Sunrise Gondola is another major infrastructure upgrade that has already debuted in time for the 2025–2026 ski season. This new 10-person gondola replaced the existing two-person Sunrise chairlift and is expected to ease congestion and improve access across the village.

The base terminal will be located near the Pendry Park City and The Lift condos, while the upper terminal will connect to the Red Pine area. Once operational, the Sunrise Gondola will offer guests a third base-to-mid-mountain lift option—alongside the Red Pine Gondola and the Orange Bubble Express.

This enhancement is especially beneficial for condo owners and guests staying near the new Pendry Hotel & Plaza.

Central Metro East - Canyons Village Parking Garage Project - Park City

• Video Link

Existing surface parking in Canyons Village would be consolidated into the new garage, which would offer more than 1,800 parking spots, a four-lane drop-off area, and electric vehicle chargers. All parking stalls would be covered.

A website for the project states the garage provides an opportunity for paid parking. Park City Mountain has instituted paid daily parking in Mountain Village, but not in Canyons Village.

The new garage would be at the corner of Canyons Resort Drive and Lower Village Road, similar to the existing Cabriolet lot.

The project would be completed in three phases. The first would be the garage. The following stages would include an upgraded transit center, a public gathering space, and potential commercial development...

...A link to register and more information about the project, including renderings, can be found here.

Canyons Village Cabriolet free parking reduced by 50% next week as garage construction begins


The first phase of fencing will reduce Cabriolet lot parking by 50%. A second phase from April 1–20 will further reduce capacity, with the lot closing entirely from April 21 to December 2025 for construction.

Laura M. - Mar 12, 2025 - For The Town Lift - https://townlift.com/2025/03/canyons-vil...next-week-as-garage-construction-begins/

PARK CITY, Utah – Construction begins next week on a new parking structure in the Park City Mountain Canyons Village Cabriolet lot...

...With fewer available spots this season, resort officials are urging guests to use public transit, park-and-ride lots, or carpooling to help reduce congestion. Once complete the garage and congruous surface parking will provide approximately the same number of spaces currently available at all Canyons Village surface level parking with 1840 spaces...

...The new garage will be used to consolidate parking for the entire Canyons Village area, meaning that the upper lots, closer to the base area will eventually be redeveloped as those parking spaces are relocated to the new Parking Structure in the Cabriolet lot. The project aims to improve long-term traffic flow and connectivity. The plans include a public transportation, pick up/drop off zone, and a pedestrian plaza.

Public Debut

Dive Insight:

Full Article @ https://www.hoteldive.com/news/hiltons-canopy-brand-debuts-deer-valley-resort-utah/830386/ - Located about 40 minutes from Salt Lake City International Airport, Canopy Deer Valley provides access to other “inviting public spaces,” per Hilton. Guests at the hotel will have access to expanded skiing terrain, restaurants, recreation, entertainment and other year-round programming at the recently expanded Deer Valley East Village.

Designed by San Francisco-based DLR Group | BraytonHughes, the hotel’s interiors incorporate industrial materials, warm wood finishes and layered textures as a nod to the region’s history. Guest rooms feature storage for outdoor equipment and include design touches such as headboards that reference outdoor gear and rugs inspired by ski tracks.

The pet-friendly property includes a sauna, steam room and fitness center, and offers shuttle service to Jordanelle Lake & Deer Valley East Ski Village, according to its website.

Additionally, the property’s four new food and beverage concepts include Tavolona, an all-day Italian restaurant; Fornetto, a lounge and casual gathering spot; Mountain Provisions, a mountain-inspired neighborhood cafe; and Alpine Attic, a rooftop lounge featuring mountain views.

The hotel’s opening represents a new chapter for Deer Valley East Village “as it continues to welcome visitors from around the world,” Andrew Carey, general manager of Canopy Deer Valley, said in a statement. “We’ve created a place that reflects the character and energy of this highly anticipated destination, from thoughtfully designed guest rooms and locally inspired dining experiences, to meaningful partnerships with local artisans and businesses.”

The brand’s debut in Utah arrives as other hospitality players bet on the “premier” international ski destination. And Deer Valley Resort isn’t meant for just skiing — it’s emerged as a hot-spot for travelers seeking year-round outdoor experiences.

Hyatt opened the 436-key Grand Hyatt Deer Valley resort in 2024, while Four Seasons plans to bring a luxury hotel and residences to the ski hub, with an opening date slated for sometime in 2028. Earlier this year, Hilton also announced plans to open a luxury Waldorf Astoria hotel and residential property at Deer Valley, also expected to debut in 2028...
