The redevelopment of this well-loved but aging commercial center in Snowmass Village will position it as a new town center. One that creates an active, family friendly mountain village commercial core with small-town connectivity and a sense of place. The redesigned Snowmass Center will reflect the community’s values by capturing the local spirit of having fun, connecting with neighbors and friends, and supporting local businesses.

Current key tenants—the U.S. Postal Service, a local grocer, and a variety of local retailers, restaurants, and businesses—will remain anchors of a new commercial core. The new Snowmass Center will be a pedestrian-friendly central hub where neighbors can mingle and catch up over coffee while picking up their mail and weekly groceries.

The overall design palette incorporates a variety of tone, texture, and finishes creating various architectural styles and character that will reflect the site’s 8,000-foot mountain and valley environment. The design will also incorporate a number of sustainable features, including passive solar building orientations, roof-mounted photovoltaic arrays, and sequestered and filtered storm run-off to improve downstream water quality. Pedestrian walkways, bicycle trail connections, and easy access to public transit will help minimize car travel.
