But Never Resting On It.

looking back on success—
but never resting on it.
Most great success stories have humble beginnings. For
the founding partners of East West Partners, that story
began in 1986 with the purchase of a piece of land in
an emerging resort. Today, Beaver Creek is a world-class
destination and the cornerstone for a portfolio of acclaimed
projects that span from East to West.
Innovative. Forward thinking. Entrepreneurial spirit. These
are the hallmarks of success for East West Partners. Made
possible by a talented group of hardworking professionals
empowered to excel in building, selling and managing
high-end real estate in the communities where they operate.

a novel approach to development.
East West Partners looks past the obvious to invent distinctive elements
that give a place its unmistakable character and unanimous appeal.
Simple innovations like the escalators at Beaver Creek, where “not exactly
roughing it” rings true as you ride, not walk, to the ski runs. The Vilar
Performing Arts Center is another shining example—a 530-seat, one-of-akind theater in the heart of a world-class mountain and situated under an
ice skating rink. The Millennium Bridge in Downtown Denver was the first to
use post-tensioned structural construction to connect one end of the city to
another and has quickly evolved into an iconic downtown landmark.

In 1986, Beaver Creek was an undiscovered gem of Colorado
resorts. Now it is internationally recognized and regarded as one
of the finest mountain resort villages in the world thanks to the
creative vision of East West Partners. From the Park Hyatt Beaver
Creek, to escalators that whisk you to the ski lifts, to a world-class
performing arts center—it is adored by skiing enthusiasts and families
alike. Village Center at Beaver Creek was awarded Urban Land
Institute’s (ULI) Awards for Excellence in 1998.
With coveted locations throughout the Vail Valley, East West Partners
has transformed the idea of mountain living for vacationers
and locals. With the addition of Riverfront Village, the town of
Avon has gondola access to the ski mountain from The Westin
Riverfront Resort & Spa. And luxury ski-in/ski-out residences
throughout Bachelor Gulch, just a lift ride away from Riverfront
Village, make it one of the most desired areas in the Valley.
