A new mixed-use development will soon be coming to downtown
\nGranby and the project\u2019s developer hopes the new addition will add a little bit
\nof character to the town\u2019s highway corridor. \n<\/p>\n

Called Granby Station the new construction project is being
\nundertaken by Royal Oak, a firm that specializes in higher end and luxury
\nresidential construction. Steve and Helen Wilkie own Royal Oak and the company
\nalready has history in Grand County with their recent work on the Eagle Ridge
\ndevelopment near Granby\u2019s City Market store.<\/p>\n

This summer Royal Oak is digging into a new construction
\nproject with Granby Station in the location previously occupied by Mad Munchies.
\nOnce completed Granby Station will broadly be broken down into two separate
\nareas: a series of townhouses and a separate building butting up against US
\nHighway 40 and Agate Avenue. <\/p>\n

Wilkie said one of the main features of the project would be
\na very clearly defined pathway leading from the Granby railroad train station
\nup to the Granby Station facility. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to give a sense of arrival in Granby, either by
\ntrain or driving,\u201d Wilkie said, noting that Granby Station is thematically
\ndesigned with traditional train stations in mind. \u201cWe are working with the town
\nto create something really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project will see the construction of 12 separate three
\nstory luxury townhouses that will be constructed in sets of three on two tiers
\non the hillside above Railroad Avenue. Each luxury unit will include a private
\ngarage and a rooftop deck.<\/p>\n

Additionally Royal Oak is planning to build a mixed use
\nbuilding right on Agate Avenue in front of the townhouse. The mixed use
\nbuilding will be three stories with half the building dedicated to an English
\nstyle pub and the other half open for other uses including retail space, office
\nspace and luxury condos. A centerpiece for the entire development, and an
\nhomage to its thematic basis, will be a large clock tower that will be visible
\nfrom all sides.<\/p>\n

Wilkie said he anticipates selling the townhouse units for a
\nprice in the upper $400,000 range. Wilkie said he did not yet know what price
\nthe luxury condo units on the third floor of the building on Agate Avenue would
\nsale for and said it would depend on whether or not they are constructed as
\nfour separate units, two larger units, or some combination thereof. Wilkie said
\nhe has no plans to offer any of the units for rent but noted owners of units
\nwill not be restricted from offering the units as rentals. <\/p>\n

Physical work on the project got underway last week as work
\ncrews began demolishing the building where Mad Munchies was previously located.
\nWilkie said demolition work will continue this week as crews remove the old
\nmotel that sits on the property and other necessary infrastructure. Wilkie said
\nconstruction will progress from Railroad Avenue north towards Agate Avenue and
\nthat the building containing the pub and other commercial and retail space
\nwould come after construction of the 12 townhouses.<\/p>\n

Wilkie was cautious to note that he has not obtained formal
\napproval on the design and planning elements of his project, which he will
\nstill need to obtain from Granby before his project can be completed. Wilkie
\nsaid he has found town staff to be supportive so far and believes he will be
\nable to address any potential concerns that may arise during the planning
\nprocess.  <\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate going before the town within the next 60
\ndays,\u201d he said. \u201cPending town approval, we would start building the residential
\ntownhomes later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilkie said he would plan to begin building \u201cliterally
\nwithin days of approval\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wilkie hopes to have units available for sale by spring or
\nsummer next year with construction on the pub building and remainder of the
\ndevelopment to begin in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur tagline is \u2018luxury comes standard\u2019,\u201d Wilkie said. \u201cWe
\nfeel this is going to be something that the town can be proud of for many years
\nto come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
