Breaking Ground on Employee Housing
On Monday, October 3, 2022, Revelstoke Mountain Resort's Vice President and General Manager, Peter Nielsen, along with the Mayor of Revelstoke, Gary Sulz, had the honour of breaking ground on this monumental project.
The project, originally slated to start in the spring of 2023, is progressing faster than anticipated. The initial report stated that the Resort was planning to construct one building of a three-building plan during phase one, but has since been modified to include two buildings during the first phase.
“This is a crucial part of growth and development at the resort,” said Nielsen." We are pleased to see phase one starting sooner than we had anticipated. Providing additional housing will help alleviate some of the pressures we face with employee recruitment.”
The master plan includes three separate buildings, each containing 24 one-bedroom units and 68 two-bedroom units, for a total of 160 beds in each building (480 total). Construction is expected to take anywhere from 18-24 months to complete.
“ I’m ecstatic” said Sulz. “I’m not only impressed with the fact that the Resort is starting ahead of schedule, but also that they will be combining Phase One and Two. This is a big win for the community.”
