Town of Snowmass Village Workforce Housing

Owner: Town of Snowmass | Services: Cost Estimating

Following the adoption of a workforce housing masterplan in 2021 the Town of Snowmass has been developing new employee housing opportunities on a site known as the Draw Site. The site is steep and surrounded by hillsides, so designers have minimized the need for retaining walls and hill cuts by creating a design that sits into the mountainside and rises with the elevation. A fully underground parking garage structure is planned with two residential above. The building would offer 79 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments for people working in Snowmass Village. Axias was engaged to develop an independent cost estimate at the schematic design stage. The estimate had to account for many of the unique features of the site including the significant cut / grading to allow for new site roadways, pedestrian paving, and a debris flow basin.
