The developers of Lift One Lodge, one of the key partners in the Lift One corridor project, declared this week they are walking away because of their eroding confidence in the Gorsuch Haus group. Their decision comes after voters in March narrowly approved the development in a divisive contest that touched on some of the town’s most debated issues ranging from lodging and the future of skiing to preservation and the environment.
The developers of Lift One Lodge, in a July 17-dated letter written by Aspen attorney Bart Johnson to three city officials, said they will use the previous entitlements they have to build a lodge on the mountain. Those 10-year entitlements, set to expire in November 2021, are similar to the version they presented to voters earlier this year.
Lift One and Gorsuch developers combined to spend roughly $300,000 on campaign advertising promoting the passage of the ballot question, which gave approval to the 107,000-square-foot Lift One Lodge, which would have 34 fractional and six full-interest condominiums, and the 64,000-square-foot, 81-room Gorsuch Haus luxury hotel.
In passing the question, voters also blessed a skiers’ services space, restaurants, bars, a ski museum and a parking garage. The total square footage stood at about 320,000.
