<\/p>\nRight now may be the perfect time to pounce on property in posh Park City.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Accelerated Marketing Partners will conduct Park City, Utah\u2019s first-ever new development real estate auction when it auctions eight homes priced over a million dollars at Ironwood Resort Development\u2019s Silver Strike Lodge at Empire Pass, a ski-in\/ski-out condominium in the heart of Deer Valley. Minimum bids will start at $1.150 million, up to 55 percent off last asking prices, which were as high as $3.295 million.<\/p>\n
The real estate event will take place on Sun., Jan. 17 at 5 p.m., at the Stein Eriksen Lodge, located at 7700 Stein Way in Park City, just a few days before the start of the 2010 annual Sundance Film Festival, also taking place in Park City.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we first launched Silver Strike Lodge at Empire Pass in 2006, we sold nearly half of the building at the grand opening,\u201d said Matt Mullin, principal of Ironwood Resort Development, the developer. \u201cOur company has always started a project by listening to our clients\u2019 needs and by building what they want and not by what we think they want. While we may be in a different market than when the project was unveiled, this same philosophy will still drive our decisions. With this auction, we will be accepting what our buyers determine homes at Silver Strike Lodge at Empire Pass are worth in today\u2019s market.\u201d<\/p>\n
Advanced registration for the event is required, and the auction information center and model residences will be open daily through Jan. 16 at 8902 Empire Club Drive.<\/p>\n
Residents of Silver Strike Lodge at Empire Pass enjoy a host of fine amenities, including a two-story lobby with fireplace and hearth seating; owner\u2019s lounge with fireplace and serving bar; fitness room; ski locker room; sport storage lockers; heated, outdoor plaza with spa pools and warming fire pit; and a full-time concierge, lodge manager and complimentary car service.<\/p>\n
For all winning bids, the developer will also cover a $100,000 membership activation fee to the exclusive Talisker Club, designed by Robert A.M. Stern. Membership provides access to world-class skiing, golf and all other outdoor activities on the club\u2019s +10,000-acre property.
