Telluride, Colorado, is set to welcome its first new luxury residential development in 15 years as Florida-based real estate firms Fort Partners and Merrimac Ventures launch sales for the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Telluride.
The nearly $1 billion project in the prime Mountain Village ski area adjacent to the gondola will offer 28 private residences, 40 hotel residences, and 52 hotel rooms. Designed by renowned architecture firm Olson Kundig, the development aims to blend seamlessly with Telluride’s natural beauty and historic character.
“Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the design balances a duality of prospect and refuge, allowing guests and residents to experience the rugged nature of the mountaintop while providing a high standard of luxury and comfort. Panoramic views of the nearby ski area, the Sneffels Range, Dallas Peak and Campbell Peak ridgelines, Mount Wilson and the valley beyond provide each space with a visual connection to this special mountain environment. The site-specific building arrangement and materiality—including stacked stone, textural wood and articulated metal elements—reference both the natural context of Mountain Village and the history of the surrounding place. Signature outdoor amenity spaces, such as new walking paths, a pedestrian bridge and activated plazas for gathering and events, further encourage residents and guests to engage with the mountain landscape. The hotel and Hotel Residence interiors will be designed by Clements Design, the California-based design firm known for crafting sleek private homes for a star-studded client list.”
“My family and I have been skiing in Telluride for over 20 years — it is my favorite ski resort in the world,” said Nadim Ashi, Founder and CEO of Fort Partners. “Our aim is for Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Telluride to set a new bar for residential and hospitality experiences in North American ski resorts.”
The project features three connected buildings rising eight stories across four acres, providing unobstructed views of Colorado’s most coveted summits. The residences will range from two to six bedrooms, with the largest spanning 7,553 square feet. The 40 hotel residences will range from one to five bedrooms and there will be 52 hotel rooms.
The Private Residences at Four Seasons Telluride will be designed by renowned Seattle-based architecture firm Olson Kundig, known for its innovative and visually stunning residential projects. Each residence will feature a unique design that complements the mountain views, with floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, and high-end finishes. The penthouse will offer additional luxury amenities, including outdoor spa pools and expansive mountain vistas.
“Four Seasons Private Residences Telluride is a composition of differently scaled buildings carefully situated to optimize views through and from each home, while connecting to both natural slopes and trails, as well as the activity of the Telluride Mountain Village. The buildings are nestled into the mountainside and weave the natural ecosystem throughout the center of the property.”

Dev Motwani, President and CEO of Merrimac Ventures, emphasized the development’s commitment to complementing Telluride’s existing offerings. “We worked closely with community partners in Mountain Village to ensure this development aligns with the place it calls home,” he said.
Designed to provide a comprehensive, resort-style residential experience, Four Seasons Private Residences Telluride will offer extensive amenities for residents, including ski-in/ski-out access, ski valet and private lockers, state-of-the-art fitness center, spa, private residents’ club, indoor lap pool, outdoor hot tub, and underground parking. The residences will be accessed via a private entrance and residential lobby, creating an intimate arrival experience for owners. Residents will also enjoy the benefits of the five-star Four Seasons Hotel, including on-demand car services, housekeeping and butler services, valet, wellness programs, and more. The development is expected to break ground late next year and be completed in two to three years.
Pricing for the private residences begins at $4 million, and Bill Fandel of Compass and Brian O’Neill of Telluride Properties lead sales.
