Aspen West End.
Historic 1880s–1910s residential grid. Tight parcels, extraordinary tree canopy, Victorian and mining-era stock. $10M–$40M, renovation-dominant.

Our practice in Aspen, applied to Aspen West End.
Our Aspen practice is travel-delivered — from Montecito today, from the NorCal satellite once it opens in 2027 — with weekly principal presence during active construction and a retained Aspen project manager triggered once two concurrent projects are in CD. Flights from SBA to ASE route via DEN; drive time from either coast is prohibitive for weekly cadence without careful scheduling.
Pitkin County's Urban Growth Management Plan and TDR (transferable development rights) regime make new construction inside Aspen proper a slow, surgical exercise — most of our work here will be high-investment renovation, adaptive reuse of mining-era and mid-century stock, and meaningful expansion. Downvalley (Old Snowmass, Woody Creek, Basalt, Missouri Heights, Carbondale) opens up new-construction programs on larger parcels with the same aesthetic discipline and less regulatory friction.
