Four Seasons, partners plan Colorado multi-use project

Summary:

• Four Seasons, Fort Partners and Merrimac Ventures plan a mixed-use project in Telluride, CO.

• The project is in Mountain Village near the San Juan Mountains.

• Florida-based Fort Partners and Merrimac Ventures are led by Nadim Ashi and Dev Motwani.

FOUR SEASONS, FORT Partners and Merrimac Ventures are jointly developing the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Telluride in Telluride, Colorado. The project includes 52 guestrooms, 43 hotel residences and 26 private residences for short-term and permanent stays.

The properties are being developed in Mountain Village near the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, Four Seasons said in a statement.

Toronto-based Four Seasons is led by CEO Alejandro Reynal, while Florida-based partners Fort Partners and Merrimac Ventures are led by founder Nadim Ashi and President and CEO Dev Motwani, respectively.

“This achievement would not have been possible without the support of local partners like Telluride Ski & Golf, the Town of Mountain Village and TMVOA,” Motwani said. “We are fortunate to inherit this site and build upon the work they’ve already done.”

Bart Carnahan, Four Seasons’ president of global business development, portfolio management and residential, said the company is offering a new opportunity for guests and residents to enjoy a ski destination.

“Fort Partners and Merrimac Ventures are ideal collaborators, with a deep understanding of the destination, Four Seasons’ legendary service and a shared commitment to creating experiences for both short-term visitors and residents,” he said.

“Telluride is a place of extraordinary heritage and beauty and represents a rare opportunity to create something lasting,” Ashi said. “Together with Four Seasons and Merrimac, we are creating a landmark that reflects this legacy, honors its natural beauty and endures for generations.”
