Case Study: Park City

All-Seasons Resort Development

IBI Group is involved in professional work for ski and golf resort communities across North America. IBI Group’s resort practice illustrates the advantages of the firm’s functional and geographic diversity to its clients.

In North America, the resort practice is coordinated from IBI Group’s Vancouver, home base for many of our resort specialist practitioners and a large technical team that provides creative direction and staff support to our network of offices for resort/hospitality projects. The Vancouver office originally became involved in ski resort development through the design of facilities at Whistler, British Columbia, one of North America’s leading ski resorts. The IBI Group practice in Salt Lake City provides substantial services to a broad range of private development clients in the Park City / Deer Valley area of Utah related to the ski and golf resort and living opportunities. IBI Group’s work at Park City Resort performed from its offices in Salt Lake City and Vancouver include:

• The Canyons: Master Plan for the new all-season resort and complete architectural services for the Sundial Lodge, a retail, hotel/condominium development which has been completed;
• Tuhaye Golf Community: Architectural services for the clubhouse and ancillary buildings and other community components; and
• Deercrest Hotel: IBI has been retained as architects for this prestigious resort hotel.
• IBI Group works on a wide array of projects, from the planning of all season resort villages from California to New England, to the design of large full-service hotels and smaller luxury lodges. While IBI Group’s clients are primarily in the private sector, it also works for resort municipalities on broad level planning and policy development.
