Weitz & Team Breaks Ground on Landmark Four Seasons Telluride Development

Weitz leads construction of the region’s last snow-front site, creating a vibrant, connected destination for residents and guests alike.

The Weitz Company, a subsidiary of Orascom Construction PLC, is proud to announce its role as general contractor for the highly anticipated Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride development in Mountain Village, Colorado. This $1 billion development broke ground earlier this month and will bring a new level of luxury hospitality and residential living to the San Juan Mountains, setting a fresh benchmark for alpine destinations.

Located on a 4.5-acre parcel next to the Telluride Gondola and Lifts 1 and 4, Four Seasons Telluride occupies the last remaining snow-front site in the Town of Mountain Village. Once complete, the 532,000-square-foot resort will include 52 luxury hotel rooms, 43 hotel residences, and 26 private residences, making it the first new luxury hotel and residential development in Telluride in more than 15 years.

Designed by Olson Kundig and Clements Design, the project combines modern mountain architecture with the highest standards of comfort. The development’s extensive amenities will include ski-in/ski-out access, a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, a private residents’ club, an indoor lap pool, outdoor hot tub, and a signature five-star restaurant. Landscaped walking paths, plazas, and a pedestrian bridge will seamlessly integrate the resort into the fabric of Mountain Village.

“This project represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a world-class destination in one of the most iconic ski towns in the country,” said Kevin McClain, CEO & President at The Weitz Company. “We are honored to partner with developers Fort Partners and Merrimac Ventures to bring their vision to life.”

Market demand for the project is already strong, with more than 30 percent of residences sold or under contract. As construction advances, The Weitz Company is coordinating closely with the Town of Mountain Village, Telluride Ski and Golf, and community stakeholders to ensure the project enhances both the guest experience and the local community.

With more than 75 years of experience building in Colorado, The Weitz Company has delivered some of the state’s most complex and iconic mountain hospitality and resort projects. That legacy is now being applied to the Four Seasons Telluride, which is set to become one of the most compelling luxury destinations in the Rockies, uniting the region’s unparalleled natural beauty with the finest standards of design and construction.
