Kindred Resort opened its first phase Thursday at the base of Keystone Mountain in Summit County, a project decades in the making.
The ski-in/ski-out project is the largest real estate development project in Summit County in recent history and the newest addition to RockResorts.
The over 320,000-square-foot mixed-use development will include 107 guest rooms and 95 residences spread across two towers, with homes ranging from one to four bedrooms.

Amenities will feature a private club, spa, meeting and event space, 25,000 square feet of retail, ski school and three restaurants.
“Colorado is our home, and we had a special opportunity to create a legacy project and give back to our community,” said Ryan Geller, Partner with Kindred Development Team.
The resort will debut several food and beverage concepts in stages. Kindred Spirits, the lobby bar and lounge, opened May 7, and Lula’s Restaurant will debut May 15. Two independently owned and operated venues, The Goodz Tavern, an alpine tavern, and Kinji Sushi, will open Memorial Day weekend.
The property will also feature an extensive art collection of more than 200 pieces by Mountain West artists, including 70 original and site-specific pieces. Installations include floor-to-ceiling murals and hand-carved Aspen furnishings placed throughout the resort.
“Keystone Resort is a mountain that immerses visitors in every season, from skiing and snow tubing in winter to the festivals, biking, and golf in summer. With Kindred, we’ve finally built a luxury home base to match,” said Dan Dohner, general manager of Kindred Resort.
Plans for the over $300 million development have been around for decades. The resort was originally anticipated to open in 2025, however, Geller said it’s not uncommon for a project of this scope and size to take extra time.
“Kindred was designed and built as a multi-stage project,” he said.
“We’re in the final stages of construction and approvals for the second phase, Kindred’s East Tower.”
The Kindred development team is a partnership between Colorado-based developers and hospitality leaders, as well as Interland, a global firm with a portfolio that includes Fox Park in Denver. The team has developed more than $4 billion in mixed-use, hospitality and residential projects across Aspen, Vail, Summit County, Mexico and beyond.
RockResorts, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vail Resorts, provides accommodations in Park City, Utah; Vail; Beaver Creek; Breckenridge; and now Keystone.
