Base Area Redevelopment

2012 Base Area Redevelopment (Promenade) Construction

As we enter the sixth year of construction, 2012 will bring completion to the nearly $10 million Promenade and Burgess Creek Daylighting Project, a publicly funded investment to revitalize the base of the Steamboat Ski Area. The heated promenade made its debut during the 2011-2012 ski season and was deemed by both locals and visitors to be a huge success. Many fun acts on the new stage and the new public restrooms were also big hits.

Public improvements along the promenade have been bolstered by private investments of about $5 million made by the Torian Plum homeowners association, Sheraton Steamboat Resort and Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp.

The project has already received an award for excellence in engineering and construction from the Colorado Chapter of the American Public Works Association.

This spring, some final details will be attended to by Duckels Construction, the contractor that has built the project, including some landscaping and construction of a smaller walkway connecting properties to the south and east of the Promenade.

The much anticipated daylighting of Burgess Creek along its newly created streambed will be the cornerstone of the grand opening celebration planned for this summer. Stay tuned for more details.

Public coordination meetings will begin this spring on Wednesday May 16th at 2:30pm in the Sheraton Villas Gallery and will continue until the grand opening in June. Everyone is welcome. This is a great opportunity to participate in a dialogue regarding all aspects of the project.

Pedestrian and vehicular access to businesses as well as free parking will continue to be provided.

On behalf of the URA and the construction team, we would like to thank everyone involved in the project as well as all of the businesses surrounding the promenade for their patience and cooperation.

Base Area Redevelopment Plan

The Base Area Redevelopment Plan - known as Steamboat Unbridled - is bringing a renaissance to the City of Steamboat Springs. It's anticipated that over 1 billion dollars of public and private funds will be leveraged to improve and revitalize the base area.

The project is being guided by the Urban Redevelopment Authority Advisory Committee reporting to the Steamboat Springs Urban Redevelopment Authority.

For the past 3 years, design and construction work has been funded through a bond issued through the SSRA.

Plans, documents, and standards are available in the documents section.
