Grand Colorado on Peak 8 Property Information

Letter from the General Manager

Grand Colorado on Peak 8 is one month closer to opening! Everyone is getting more and more excited every day as we get closer to our grand opening, when we will welcome our first owners to their new home away from home.  The Operations team is busy building operating budgets as well as creating a 30-year reserve budget for future replacements. I know it may sound odd to create a budget to replace items before the resort has even opened, but we are doing this to ensure that we build up reserve funds for the resort starting from day one. Having a reserve budget already in place will help us determine the HOA dues required to adequately fund our reserves. The GC8 management team is also working on hiring team members to help with everything that is needed to open the doors in December and operate the resort when it’s opened. Over the next two months, we will be hiring more than 35 new staff members, so this takes a lot of teamwork and planning from a variety of different departments within the BGV organization. We are very thankful to have a wonderful support team helping us get the resort ready for our valued owners! Of course, our construction team is working even harder building our beautiful resort.
