Escape the Ordinary, Embrace an Elevated Rocky Mountain Experience: Two renowned Florida developers are setting their sights beyond sun-kissed beaches, venturing deep into the Colorado Rockies for a groundbreaking $1 billion project. This ambitious endeavor promises to redefine luxury living, offering not just a hotel with nightly rates exceeding $1,000, but also 68 exclusive residences starting at over $2 million.

Seeking Sanctuary Beyond Saturated Shores: This venture marks a pivotal shift for both firms, signifying a calculated move away from Florida's bustling coast. While they remain committed to their Sunshine State roots, the developers acknowledge the increasingly competitive landscape. Telluride, with its pristine slopes and untouched charm, presents a captivating alternative - a niche market yearning for an unparalleled luxury experience.

A Vision of Mountain Majesty: Imagine the iconic Surf Club, reimagined amidst breathtaking peaks. This is the essence of the planned development, envisioned by Dev Motwani of Merrimac. Inspired by a chance encounter, Motwani, partnering with fellow developer Nadim Ashi, set their sights on Telluride, recognizing its potential for a transformative project.

Untapped Potential in a Ski Paradise: High-end Colorado ski resorts have seen a remarkable upward trajectory, with luxury accommodations in Vail and Aspen boasting impressive average daily rates. Telluride, while less readily accessible and lacking the direct flight options of its counterparts, offers a unique allure: exclusivity, serenity, and an unparalleled natural playground.

Crafting an Unforgettable Legacy: Despite the challenges inherent in mountain resorts, such as weather dependence, the developers are confident in their vision. This project represents more than just luxury living; it's a chance to establish a legacy, offering discerning individuals a sanctuary unlike any other, where the spirit of adventure seamlessly blends with unparalleled comfort and service.

Location: Telluride, CO 81435, USA

Porsche  Design Tower: Where Cars Live in the Living Room The Porsche Design Tower, a towering testament to luxury and automotive passion, is the brainchild of Michael Dezer. He poured $480 million into its construction, resulting in 132 units that range in price from $4 million to a staggering $32 million. At the Porsche Design Tower, a patented car elevator called the Dezervator whisks both cars and drivers up 60 stories to units with sky-high garages. A larger version is planned for the Bentley Residences. A significant chunk of this investment, an estimated 10%, went solely towards the development of the Dezervator, the building's innovative car elevator. While the sum may seem extravagant, Dezer firmly believes it was money well spent. "Initially, I thought, 'How cool would it be to have your Porsche, Lamborghini, or Bugatti right in your living room?'" he explained. "But the real magic happened when people started buying units for the privacy they offer
