SB Architects reaches groundbreaking moment on Utah project

The modern ski-in, lift-out destination will welcome a new luxury development, which is slated to open in 2021…

SB Architects,a full-service global architecture firm has celebrated the official groundbreaking of Pendry Hotels’ new branded residences, Pendry Residences Park City. Scheduled for completion in Winter 2021, the branded residences will bring a new height of luxury residential to Utah.

The contemporary ski-in, lift-out destination has garnered attention from discerning buyers who are seeking luxurious accommodations, activities-based amenities, immersion in natural surroundings, and the energetic pulse of the arts and local community.

“We are thrilled to witness the groundbreaking of Pendry Residences Park City, which beyond comfort and luxury is a magnetic draw for the level of sophistication and multi-faceted lifestyle it affords,”says Scott Lee, SB Architects President and Principal. “Today’s resort homeowner wants more than just a home; they gravitate toward spaces to gather and entertain friends, where they can access outdoor activities, have memorable meals, and enjoy the art and culture that shape a locale. Working with Pendry and Columbus Pacific Properties, we made Pendry Park Residences for people to express themselves within the unique character of their surroundings, from one moment to the next.”

SB Architects drew from Pendry’s signature blend of service, design and the celebration of culture to inspire a design that departs from the traditional log cabin aesthetic, reinterpreting Park City’s past within a new, more modern architectural vernacular. Influenced by the area’s rich mining history, and neighboring mountain ridges, the design is driven by the guest and owner experience. Residents will have protected balconies and large windows to showcase mountain views beyond and connect them to the art and activities in the nearby plaza.

Featuring 150 fully-serviced guestrooms and suites, ranging in size from studios to four-bedroom penthouse residences, Pendry Residences Park City is also comprised of four unique lounge, restaurant and bar experiences, includingthe only rooftop bar and pool in the area. In addition to a state-of-the-art fitness center, arcade games in the recreation facility and Pinwheel Kids Club, guests and residents will have access to Spa Pendry’s eight treatment rooms and a full menu of services. There will also be more than 7,000 square feet of indoor meeting space, including a 4,000-square-foot ballroom.

A historic mountain town, Park City is also home to the largest ski area in the nation, the world-renowned Sundance Film Festival, breweries and distilleries, boutique shopping and exceptional dining experiences. From its central location, Pendry Residences Park City will complement these year-round opportunities for outdoor and indoor activities with luxury resort-style services and amenities, and curated art experiences that will expose guests and residents to contemporary artists local to Park City.
