Another 40,000 square feet will be dedicated to retail space on the plaza level. The lot is currently used as a parking lot. Shirken began conceiving ideas for condominium projects in Canyons Village when he saw the development plans for the area about five years ago. He said he became “mesmerized” by the amount of potential in the area. He worked on the Apex Park City Residences, a 63-unit condominium project, but was eager to do more. He then acquired the property for the future Pendry Residences two years ago, and has been working on the plans ever since. “What we felt the Canyons was lacking were high-end amenities — restaurants, shops and also a high-end residential experience for transient guests — so we wanted to do a project Continued from A-7 New resort leader ty. He had never managed a ski resort before, but he had skied since he was a kid in Pittsburgh. Plus, he had visited Deer Valley multiple times for ski trips because he enjoyed its service.

Pendry Hotels, a sub-brand of Montage International, will be managing the condominiums. where we could consolidate the amenities with a high-end and highly serviced guest experience,” he said. In Shirken’s search for a resort management company to help him accomplish his goal, he became acquainted with Montage International’s Pendry brand. Shirken said he chose the Pendry brand because of Montage’s reputation for high quality service and Pendry’s willingness to create a contemporary product that fits into the environment. Michael Fuertsman, co-founder and creative director of Pendry Hotels, said Pendry aims to build unique hotels and condominiums rather than cookie-cutter buildings. “You should feel Park City, you should feel mountain living, while you are here,” he said. He said Pendry Residences will have plenty of glass and steel to give it a modern aesthetic and disrupt the traditional resort style. The Pendry brand launched four years ago to give a contemporary spin to luxury hotels. The development is set to include 150 condominium units, which range from studios to four-bedroom penthouses, Shirken said. He expects that the majority of the owners — who will likely be second-home owners — will be placing their units into the rental pool, which Pendry will help manage. Pendry Residences is also set to have five restaurants, multiple retail shops, a rooftop pool, a spa, a kid’s club, a recreation room and some bars, including one in a yurt. A large convention space will be available for conferences. Shirken hopes the amenities attract visitors from neighboring hotels as well as locals. “We’re trying to create a variety of retailers and restaurants that will be exciting and interesting for the residents of Park City,” he said. ly handed him the reins. He has enjoyed solving problems and learning about the several moving parts behind a ski resort. Before opening day earlier this month, he witnessed the work that goes into opening a ski resort, which he said was impressive. “There are 2,600-2,700 people who work here that are a fantastic group of people. To be associated and have the ability to be the person in the leadership role, that is a one-of-a-kind job,” he said. “I’m pretty excited to be a part of that family.” He said it is nice to be leading a resort that is already running well, but believes there is room for improvement. The resort plans to improve its technology in the coming years, including the installation of wireless scanning technology gates to check passes at the ski lifts next season. He said the après-ski experience could be enhanced by adding more dining options at the base of the resort, for example. Shallan is also aware of the difficulty Deer Valley Resort employees have in finding seasonal housing, and he said the resort is continuing to look for options to house its workers. It currently has about 400 beds for its employees. Coming from a hospitality background, he is most excited to get back to Deer Valley’s hospitality roots, continuing to improve the service that has won the resort awards for several years.
