The planned Fairbank Lodge will be located in the base area of Cranmore Mountain Resort.
Cranmore Mountain Resort in North Conway has unveiled plans to build a new lodge as part of its multiyear development plan.
The new Fairbank Lodge, part of the Kearsarge Brook II Condominiums at Cranmore, will be located at the resort’s base area. The proposed new building will feature 15 residential condominiums and new ski facilities for resort guests.
Once all permits are in hand, Cranmore expects to break ground in the spring of 2022.
According to the Conway
Daily Sun, on April 22, the Conway Planning Board approved the
developers’ request for concurrent site plan and subdivision review for
the project.
“The new
lodge is the next chapter of improvements that will continue to make
Cranmore a progressive and leading year-round resort in New England,”
Cranmore President and General Manager Ben Wilcox told the board.
“Mixing condominiums with new ski facilities is a proven model in the
ski industry, and we are excited to be adding new ski lodge facilities
for our day and overnight guests.”
The
15 condominium units at Fairbank Lodge will have an open concept
floorplan that includes a master suite bedroom and bath, kitchen and
dining area, and living room with floor-to-ceiling windows with a view
either of Cranmore’s North Slope or sunset views over the resort’s
courtyard. The ground and second-floor levels will have over 18,000
square feet of ski facilities for day guests.
The
Fairbank Lodge is a continuation of resort improvements that started in
2010 when Cranmore was purchased by father-and-son team Brian and Tyler
Fairbank of The Fairbank Group and Joseph O’Donnell. Since the
acquisition, The Fairbank Group has invested over $25 million in
improvements and development.
The
Fairbank Lodge was designed by Bull Stockwell Allen, an architecture
firm with offices in San Francisco, Denver and Woodstock, Vt., which
also designed the existing Kearsarge Brook Condominiums at Cranmore and
similar projects at Stowe, Bretton Woods, Copper Mountain and other
leading resorts.
Atlantic Construction Group will be the general contractor.
