Snow Park’s New Garage Deals

Deer Valley Resort, guided by Todd Bennett, has secured a final vote from the Park City Council, allowing it to install a multi‑level parking garage in Snow Park before the county recorder’s office accepts the paperwork. The 2,000‑spot garage—transitioning from 1,700 current spots—will sit in a site adjacent to the Richardson Flat park‑and‑ride, with 1,400 earmarked for skiers and 600 for employees. The plan relies on concrete slabs and high‑grade steel framing, with the structure rumored to be capped by oxidized copper panels for a muted, snow‑white sheen. Pastor Hannah Tyler says the PIDs will bankroll the project, yet the return hinges on a tightly packed, high‑end retail buffer that may underperform if the upscale market wanes. While the aesthetic symmetry of steel, glass, and stone ensures a visual garnish, the ROI is slanted toward a 12‑year pay‑back if initial occupancy hits 95 %. The recommendation: Buy; the rent‑sized revenue stream outweighs the risk of an overly homogenous design.
