In a recent development, what was formerly known as Mayflower has been renamed to East Village by Deer Valley Resort. This renaming comes as part of a long-term operations agreement between the resort’s owner, Alterra Mountain Company, and Extell Development Company, the developer behind Mayflower.
The new terrain, expected to open as early as the 2025-26 ski season, will add an impressive 3,700 acres to Deer Valley’s existing 2,026 acres of terrain. This will bring the total acreage at the resort to a whopping 5,726.
A Convenient Portal for Travelers
The newly christened Deer Valley East Village is strategically located along U.S. Route 40, providing an additional entry point for Deer Valley guests. This base portal is touted as being more convenient for travelers coming from Salt Lake City than the Park City entry.
State-of-the-Art Amenities at East Village
Deer Valley East Village, developed collaboratively by Extell Development Company and Deer Valley Resort, is set to feature a state-of-the-art skier service facility. This facility will house ski school, children’s programs, rentals, retail, and dining options.
With 1,200 new parking spaces dedicated for day-skier use, the new base village aims to improve accessibility for the resort and contribute to the reduction of traffic in Park City.
Expansion Plans & Future Developments
Deer Valley Resort has ambitious plans for East Village. The resort will add 16 new chairlifts, including a 10-passenger gondola, and provide ski access across four new peaks. These additions will connect the existing terrain with the new Deer Valley terrain.
The majority of this new terrain is expected to open in the 2025/26 winter season. East Village will ultimately feature over 800 hotel rooms, nearly 1,700 residential units, 250,000 square feet of retail and commercial space, and 68,000 square feet for recreation.
Grand Hyatt Deer Valley Coming in Late 2024
As a key component of the project, the highly anticipated Grand Hyatt Deer Valley is set to launch in late 2024. This premier hotel will boast an impressive array of accommodations, including 387 guestrooms, 40 suites, and 55 private residences. In addition to its luxurious offerings, the hotel will feature nearly 40,000 square feet of versatile conference and event space.
Nestled within the charming Deer Valley East Village, the Grand Hyatt will provide effortless access to the slopes as well as a wide range of winter and summer activities. Guests can expect unparalleled amenities, such as dining options, a heated pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and more.
Two Additional 5-Star Hotels Being Designed
Another exciting development is being made at Deer Valley East Village, with two additional five-star hotels being designed by renowned architects ODA Architecture and KPF. The construction phase is set to kick off this summer, bringing us one step closer to the realization of these new properties.
Estate Lots in Marcella
Meanwhile, the estate lots in Marcella, Deer Valley East Village’s prestigious residential area, are in high demand, with a total of 62 lots now closed. Homeowners are eagerly moving forward with their home designs, adding to the allure of this exclusive community.
Tiger Woods-Designed Golf Course
In an exciting development, Marcella Club, nestled in the scenic hills overlooking Heber City, has secured the commitment for Utah’s very first Tiger Woods-designed golf course. Reef Capital Partners, the driving force behind Marcella Club, is also making significant progress on the village condominiums. Collaborating with esteemed architect Gomez Vazquez International, they are shaping the future of this vibrant community.
The Residences at Pioche Village
Late last December, The Residences at Pioche Village were unveiled to the market. These sought-after studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom condominiums, located adjacent to the Jordanelle Gondola, have garnered immense interest. Currently, 41 residences have been contracted, with 15 already closed.
With each milestone reached, Deer Valley East Village is solidifying its reputation as a premier destination, offering unparalleled luxury and an extraordinary living experience.
The Impact on Deer Valley
This expansion is expected to increase the number of runs at Deer Valley from 103 to 238 and the number of lifts from 21 to 37. Deer Valley’s prohibition on snowboarding will also extend to the new terrain.
Deer Valley Resort also has plans to submit updated plans for a major redevelopment of Snow Park in the spring. This development involves residences, commercial spaces, a hotel, and entertainment.
