Crystal Mountain Resort

Crystal Mountain is an ambitious and visionary development: a world-class, four-season resort community that integrates ski, golf, health and wellness, and year-round residential living, about 30 minutes from Kelowna and its international airport.

The master plan brings together condominium hotels, mixed-use condominiums, townhomes, single family chalets and bed and breakfasts around a resort village, with employee housing, an 18-hole mountainside golf course and a full suite of four-season amenities.

Our role

Optimum has been entrusted with the project's development, pre-construction and construction management, covering design, cost management, strict schedule adherence and quality. Through value engineering, efficient sequencing, financial engineering and targeted market segmentation, we are focused on enhancing the project's profitability while crafting a living experience that reflects the resort's natural setting.

Capacity planned around the mountain

Under the resort's master development agreement, bed units are earned as each mountain phase is completed, so the lift program and the real estate program are planned together. The phase one lift program (seven lifts, 9,000 people per hour) supports 3,940 bed units, and phase two (four further lifts, 5,300 people per hour) brings comfortable carrying capacity to 6,281 bed units. The current master design carries 4,494 bed units, leaving room for the community to grow within the mountain's capacity.

• 300 condominium hotel units across three hotels
• 160 mixed-use condominium units in six buildings
• 139 townhomes in 35 buildings
• 387 single family chalets
• Five bed and breakfasts, plus two employee housing buildings
