As our world changes rapidly, Vail changes too. In an already tight real estate market, Altus Vail, the first new major development in Vail Village for over a decade could not be more perfectly designed and timed. With Vail Village essentially “built out” and no new major construction projects on the board close to the mountain, it is likely Altus Vail will be the only new Vail Village construction for many years coming.

In addition to its premier location, just steps outside the heart of the Village, the innovative, mountain modern design creates a feeling of bringing the outdoors in, tying in the natural elements of wood, stone and metal to capture a modern mountain feel.  All residences include white oak flooring, an open air kitchen/living area design and top of the line appliances which blend seamlessly with the cabinetry. Wood alcove ceilings in the main spaces and master bedrooms further enhance each residence’s warmth and welcoming feeling. 

Additional architecture and design features breathe a new way of life for condo living, one that lives more like a single family home, making them ideal for extended live/work/play stays.  Gone are the long hallways to access units and numerous families and singles living in relatively close quarters.  At Altus, residents will have access to semi-private elevators, underground parking spaces (also rare for Vail Village), and strategically positioned, spacious indoor/outdoor entertainment terraces with direct to mountain views. For the fortunate few, the penthouse terraces all come with private outdoor hot tubs and for two of the penthouses, the addition of a fire pit. 

Construction is nearing completion, with the first move-ins slated for late Spring 2021.  Given the current demand from buyers seeking to live in the Vail Valley and Altus Vail’s premier location, it is expected the remaining residences and penthouses will sell quickly.

“Now is the time to buy,” said Stan Kniss, listing broker and partner for Slate Real Estate Advisors.  “Interest rates are at historic lows and the unprecedented demand from buyers to live or at least spend more time in the mountains has multiple offers coming in on most listings valley-wide. Altus is ideally suited for people looking for a real mountain home, just steps away from the slopes, restaurants and vibrancy of the village, but yet still offering privacy and seclusion.”

Highlights of Altus-Vail design features include:

• Total of 15 units including six penthouse homes and nine residential units, ranging in size from 1,470 sq. ft. for a 2 bed | 2.5 bath to 3,030 for 5 bed/5.5 bath and 3,147 sq. f.t and 4 bed|4.5 bath including 16’ great room ceilings in all six penthouses
