Slifer Smith and Frampton becomes broker for Base Village
Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate, a Colorado-based firm, has been named the official listing broker for Snowmass Base Village.
The firm was selected to take over Base Village real estate by the development’s joint-venture owners, East West Partners, Aspen Skiing Co. and KSL Capital Partners, according to a news release.
“East West will continue to do what they do best, which is creating terrific places and building incredible residences, and we will do what we do best: selling real estate,” said Shawna Topor, executive vice president of SSF’s New Development Sales Division, in a prepared statement. “We’re confident our resources, powerful local team and connections to the community will make this project one of the great successes in ski country.”
SSF has listed and sold more than 100 new development projects in the Colorado mountains over the past 30 years, with a total sales volume of $5 billion, the news release says. SSF’s reach in the Colorado mountains includes more than 225 brokers and 75 support staff. The existing sales team will now join SSF and will be based out of the Snowmass Base Village development sales office, which will become SSF’s new Snowmass home and add approximately 10 more brokers to the SSF family in the Roaring Fork Valley.
The news release says the Snowmass office will be SSF’s fifth office location in the Roaring Fork Valley since joining forces over a year ago with Palladium Properties, a boutique and independent luxury property brokerage firm based in the Roaring Fork Valley.
“We’re thrilled to have SSF join the team as the listing brokerage for all of our new developer residences, including One Snowmass. SSF has successfully sold out numerous development projects over the past 30 years, including many with East West Partners, and the stars aligned to team up in Snowmass,” said Andy Gunion, Snowmass managing partner for East West Partners, in a prepared statement.
With the 150-unit Viceroy Residences and the boutique Lumin building recently sold out, current listings in the village include the last Limelight Snowmass Residence, the final four One Snowmass West residences, new whole ownership listings in One Snowmass East starting under $2 million and the innovative One Snowmass Residence Club, with customized ownership starting at $200,000.
