Peter Knobel’s 5-Star Dream

Solaris Residence: Luxury Homes with 5-Star Service

From conception to ground breaking, developer Peter Knobel has had a goal of creating family friendly homes in Vail that offer incomparable quality coupled with the convenient luxuries of a five star hotel.

“Everything is right on schedule and proceeding very smoothly,” Solaris director of sales and marketing Craig Cohn said. “We are very pleased with how well sales are going and the excellent progress of construction.” Everyone involved with creating and constructing the Solaris Residence has been focused on high quality, from the materials used to the construction drawings and specs. The Nigro Firm, Inc. was delighted to be a part of the team by performing construction document coordination review.

The building when completed will be the tallest structure in Vail and will include not only luxury condos but also a public plaza, theater, bowling alley, restaurant and retail space. The plaza will be available to the community for concerts and other events. During the winter the plaza will feature an ice skating rink and in the summer a pop jet fountain.

The designer’s aspired to create quality homes consistent with Alpine style yet rich with modern, high-tech features. For example, every unit will be a “smart home” with full climate control and access to the front desk through a touch control screen. Even though Solaris is over a year away from completion, over two-thirds of the 2 to18 million dollar homes have been sold.

The Solaris Residences in Vail, CO is expected to be completed by the summer of 2009 and so far, they are right on schedule.
