A TERRIFIC PLACE TO CREATE TERRIFIC PLACES
With an average tenure of 15 years, the East West Partners team has a broad base of skills, experiences and talents. And it’s no exaggeration—we consider each other family. We work hard to foster a culture wherein everyone feels welcomed, empowered to succeed and supported—not only in their day-to-day work, but also in their larger career ambitions. We think this approach makes us a great company to work with, and for. But don’t take it from us. The Denver Post graciously awarded East West Partners the No. 1 spot on its 2019 Top Workplaces list. And we made Outside Magazine’s national ranking of the top 50 places to work in 2019. After all, we try not to toot our own horn; but if someone else does, that’s totally OK with us.

Workouts happen when a property has fallen into distress, whether because of economic, financial or other issues with the original developer. East West Partners is uniquely positioned to tackle these challenging projects, thanks to our full arsenal of development disciplines. We are deeply committed to achieving successful outcomes for both our investment partners and community end users. On turnarounds, we step in and analyze the best approach for addressing the issues plaguing the project, from lack of funding to construction defects, owner relationships, public perception and more. Then we oversee all aspects of the remaining development to revitalize the project and deliver successfully on or above everyone’s expectations.

MASTER PLANS
It is no coincidence that our two most prominent master-planned developments, Denver’s Union Station Neighborhood and Beaver Creek Resort, have been awarded the ULI Award for Excellence. We believe it’s a result of our extensive in-house capabilities, our ability to successfully deliver across both public and private interests, and our passion for truly understanding the needs of the communities in which we operate. This is what gives us a unique advantage in bringing large-scale, master-planned projects to life for our clients.

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT — Aura’s mass timber structure represents the next progressive step in sustainable building in Snowmass Base Village. Aura’s holistic approach to sustainability addresses both the building’s ongoing carbon footprint (what it takes to operate the building) and its embodied carbon footprint (how much carbon it takes to build Aura).
What started as a one-man show in 1962 has grown from a single office in Vail, Colorado, to become the largest brokerage in the entire Vail Valley, with sister companies in Summit County, Denver, Lake Tahoe, Snowmass, Park City, Charleston and Hawai’i. We attribute our success to our team of experienced and knowledgeable real estate professionals, whose passion for serving our buyers while commanding top dollar for our sellers is unprecedented. And because we live where we work, we know what makes each place special, and we use this boots-on-the-ground knowledge to help our clients buy and sell.
