STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Downtown Steamboat Springs is getting an extreme makeover.
Redevelopment of recent years is yielding a new mosaic of buildings more urban in nature, with restaurants and other commercial uses on the ground-floor levels and then city-style condominiums in the upper floors reminiscent of some of the new development in Aspen.
Jim Cook, a developer in Steamboat formerly from Chicago, tells the Steamboat Pilot & Today that the theme is “dine-in, dine-out” living.
But if this mixed-use development is sweeping the country, the mix in mountain towns like Steamboat, with its Stetson hats, is more tricky.
The newspaper’s Tom Ross describes the theme as “somewhere between the banks of Butcherknife Creek and the Upper West Side of Manhattan.”
Prices for these new digs range from $650,000 to $2 million.
The most contemporary of the new projects is one called Alpenglow. It replaces the Nite’s Rest Motel.
The design of the new condos is called “Western transitional,” and the Pilot likes it. It is, says the newspaper, “brilliant blend of urban and mountain style.”
