The Vision

If ever a development merges Steamboat's past with its future, it's The Olympian on the corner of 5th and Yampa Avenue downtown. Developed by Paul Franklin, the 41,000-square-foot mixed-use project harbors a brick and stone design reflecting Steamboat's architectural heritage, and a unique sale transfer fee donates 0.5 percent of market-rate sales to benefit the historic Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. This generous gesture goes to a program that has sent 65 athletes to the Olympics, more than any other such club in the country, and ensures its heritage and future. It's this commitment to the community, both altruistically and architecturally, that has led to The Olympian being hailed as a future landmark and described as the most comprehensive, best-put-together development the City has ever seen. But it's the lifestyle it offers that's at the heart of our vision. If real estate is location, location, location, the Olympian is a clear gold medal winner. Located a block off Lincoln Avenue and just steps away from the Yampa River and core trail, it offers easy access to shopping and Steamboat's many restaurants and bars, as well as such recreational amenities as flyfishing, bicycling, paddling, and historic Howelsen Hill's ice-skating, rodeo, tennis, volleyball, alpine slide and skiing (both cross country and alpine) options all out your front door. Merging Steamboat's past with its future has never been so comfortable or convenient.
