Warren, VT December 26, 2011 – Sugarbush Resort is planning its next phase of real estate development at Lincoln Peak. With the Clay Brook Residences 85% sold, Sugarbush has seen demand for additional ski-in/ski-off condominiums ranging from 2-5 bedrooms.

Sugarbush has retained The Design Group of Warren, VT for architectural and master planning services for the next phase of development at Lincoln Peak. Architects Jim Edgcomb and Jeff Schoellkopf, AIA, LEED AP are partners in The Design Group. Mr. Edgecomb and Mr. Schoellkopf are local architects who share Sugarbush’s vision for designing and building Vermont vernacular structures with a focus on energy efficiency and long-term durability.

These new homes will be built in phases beginning with the new Rice Brook Residences that are planned to house six townhomes and nine condominiums in three buildings. All residences are intended to have underground parking.

Important features of the new development will be creating connectivity between the new Lincoln Peak Village, the existing base area and historic Sugarbush Village in all seasons and to fit architecturally with Clay Brook and the three new base lodges, The Gate House Lodge, The Farmhouse and The Schoolhouse. Ski access in and out of Sugarbush Village will be maintained, pedestrian connectivity will be greatly improved and parking spaces created for Sugarbush Village businesses as part of the development plan

“Despite the challenging economic and real estate climate, we are encouraged that there are Sugarbush families interested in making a further commitment to the Valley,” said Win Smith, President of Sugarbush Resort. “We are attempting to put together a plan that builds upon our vision of making Sugarbush a better place for all and one that reflects the character of our great Valley and will benefit others in the Valley.”

Construction is planned to begin in late April 2012, subject to the acquisition of state and local permits and sales commitments.
