RAISING THE BAR IN A
COMMUNITY RENOWNED FOR THE BEST, KADENWOOD
ANNOUNCED AS WHISTLER'S FIRST RESORT-HOME
NEIGHBOURHOOD IN CANADA WITH DEDICATED GONDOLA
SERVICE.
WHISTLER, British
Columbia, Canada. Nestled in the pristine forest
heights above Whistler Creekside, the exclusive and
prestigious neighbourhood of Kadenwood offers
magnificent estate home-sites that represent the
peak of luxury living in North America's  number
one ski resort.
With Whistler's
growing reputation and selection as co-host of the
2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games,
discerning local and international buyers are
recognizing Kadenwood as a rare purchase
opportunity. Now, this sophisticated ski-in-ski-out
location at Whistler prepares to become the first
resort neighbourhood in Canada to have its own
gondola service.
The new gondola
will connect the Kadenwood neighbourhood with the
recently rejuvenated Whistler Creekside Village.
The gondola will whisk Kadenwood homeowners and
their guests between the Creekside base and the
Kadenwood station in approximately six minutes.
Covering a vertical rise of 217 metres (711 feet),
the gondola will comfortably accommodate eight
people with skis carried inside. During the summer
months, bikes and strollers can also be transported
for easy access to Whistler's valley trails and all
the amenities that Creekside has to
offer.
Intrawest and the
Kadenwood Community Strata are partnering to build
the gondola as part of the overall Kadenwood
development plan, and Whistler Blackcomb will take
care of the daily operations. Construction is
slated to commence in the summer of 2008, with the
lift fully operational for the 2008/09 ski
season.
"This new gondola
will offer unprecedented, year-round access, and
provide Kadenwood homeowners and guests with a
swift and convenient connection to the numerous
amenities of the Creekside Village while
maintaining the neighbourhood's exclusivity and
privacy," said John Morley, VP of Development for
Intrawest Placemaking.
As the resort's
original base area, "the Creek" has undergone a
$215-million facelift over the past few years and
has emerged as a family-friendly alternative to the
main Whistler Village. Complete with hotels,
restaurants, a bank, grocery and liquor stores,
retail outlets, rental locations, plenty of free
parking and Whistler's first and favourite
aprés ski hangout - Dusty's Bar and Grill,
Creekside is intimate yet lively.
Kadenwood -
Whistler's Finest Ski-in Ski-out Neighbourhood The
Kadenwood properties are located high above
Whistler Creek and offer the highest elevation on
which to build a dream home at Whistler.
A tranquil,
tree-lined alpine road winds its way up Whistler
Mountain and into the quiet serenity of Kadenwood's
breathtaking natural setting. This majestic
hideaway features 60 private home-sites, offering
ultimate privacy and luxury with the most glorious
views of the mountains and valley.
Every element in
Kadenwood has been carefully considered with
meticulous attention to detail. Home-sites are
generous in size, ranging from half an acre up to
one and a half acres, and have been carefully
surveyed and planned to accommodate the most
spectacular home with the most breathtaking
views.
At the core of
building your dream home in Kadenwood is the
freedom of choice. Those who prefer a hands-on
approach can choose their own team to design and
construct their home. Intrawest can share its
expertise to ensure the best utilization of each
home-site to capture prime views and sun exposure.
Alternatively, one can choose to work with
Intrawest's talented and dedicated experts to build
a custom home. This provides a turn-key design and
construction solution that ensures your vision and
ideas are matched by the talents and expertise of
leading architects, designers and
builders.
The addition of the
gondola and the recent acquisition of a dedicated
ski trail grooming machine will now solidify
Kadenwood's position as the ideal location to build
your family's dream home in Whistler.
