A group of real estate agents have petitioned Breckenridge town council to allow them to put up signs directing people to open houses. They submitted 30 letters showing support for their cause.

Currently, and for more than 10 years, the town code has only allowed a single “open house” sign on the property for sale. It doesn’t permit any other signs directing drivers through twists and turns of neighborhoods. As a result, Read more »

On Aug. 22, developers started building Water House on Main Street in Breckenridge — a $70 million condo

complex with 55 luxury units, which are close to Quicksilver lift at the base of Peak 9.

Developers dubbed the interior design and furnishings, by Ranch House Design, as the “highest quality” in Breckenridge. Oz Architecture in Boulder designed the buildings, which will include a pool, 7 hot tubs, parking underground and a valet to carry skis.

The town of Breckenridge wanted townhome development, but it might be getting 60,000 square feet of storage units, instead.

Kurt Ave and Kirk Mickelsen think it’s more profitable to build storage on 4 acres they own on Highway 9, across from 7-Eleven. If they built townhomes, more than half would have to be affordable housing, according to town guidelines. So, in essence, the town’s stringent affordable housing demands on new developers are shooting both parties in the foot, and Ave and Mickelsen have decided not to play the game.

The county approved the Super Storage in 2007, despite the town’s concerns. Ave and Mickelsen plan to start construction by mid-fall. They say there’s a demand for the units.
