SP Land Company's Development At Killington Resort, Designed By Global Firm, Hart Howerton, Secures Approval
NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The much-anticipated village at the base of the Killington Resort in Vermont has secured Act 250 approval to construct Phase I of the Killington Village Master Plan following a rigorous, multi-year approval process. Developed by SP Land Company, with master planning and architectural design by Hart Howerton, the base village is slated to be the first of its kind in New England.
Lessons taken from Hart Howerton's deep experience working in North America's premiere mountain destinations, where historic towns and villages are intertwined with ski operations and year round activity, have shaped the vision for a place that reflects the unique character of Vermont and the Killington landscape. Vermont's first true ski town will enhance the visitor and resident experience while complementing Powdr's on-mountain ski operations through a new, consolidated base lodge and ski bridge spanning Killington Road, along with SP Land's creation of social, apres ski settings along the walkable village streets and Town Green.
Implementation of the village master plan will begin with Phase I comprising: 193 residential units in the village core; 31,622 square feet of retail/ commercial; replacing the existing Snowshed and Ramshead Lodges with a single new 77,000 square foot skier services building; and a 32-lot Ramshead Brook slopeside residential subdivision. Subsequent phases of the Killington Village Master Plan will include approximately an additional 2,000 housing units and up to 91,500 square feet of additional commercial development.
"Great places start with great vision, Hart Howerton took the lead in creating an outstanding land plan for us here at Killington and followed up that work by taking the lead on the design of Phase I improvements in the Village Core. Their involvement is the key to the success of our overall team and seeing this development through," said SP Land President, Steve Selbo.
"When Hart Howerton was first approached by SP Land Company in 2004, our team of architects and planners set out to create a vibrant, year-round village that would be a healthy, pedestrian-friendly heart for Killington," Hart Howerton CEO, Jim Tinson, stated.
