Delta Residences at Sun Peaks Resort

The best of all worlds written by Susan M. Boyce for the BC Homes & Resorts February 23rd to March 23rd, 2007 edition of the real estate magazine. Added to the Condo Blogger because it provides useful information for the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks resort recreational real estate market. Well written and personal, Susan M. Boyce does an excellent job with creating the resort atmosphere and master planned community at the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks.

It’s no secret I have a soft spot in my heart for Sun Peaks. Crisp air, lush forested setting, the whimsical Sud-Tyrol architecture that always makes me think of sipping wine on the balcony of an Italian chalet in northern Italy – it just feels good here.

And every time I visit I’m amazed how fast the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks is taking shape right before my eyes. Of course, I’ve been following construction via the site’s web cam for months, but there’s nothing quite like being able to actually touch the building and walk through the spaces – naturally with my trusty hard hat planted firmly on my head.

I’m not the only one eagerly watching the Delta Residences at Sun Peak Resort’s progress either. “Real estate buyers are stopping by all the time to see for themselves or just to say hi,” says Craig Anderson, marketing consultant with Pilot House. “And now is the prime time to buy because you’re still getting preconstruction [presales] pricing on all remaining units.”

An Investment for the Future

Delta Residences at Sun Peaks is committed to introducing a new level of luxury and opulence to the community. Granite countertops in kitchen and bath, deep soaker tubs plus separate glass showers, cozy fireplaces, rich wood-tone detailing, and an abundance of jewel-tone fabrics – it’s all about relaxation and being pampered to the ultimate degree.

Personally though, my favourite feature is the fact every home owner enjoys full access to all the amenities of the adjoining Delta Sun Peaks Hotel – pool, hot tub, health club, room service, and even housekeeping. “Even though you’ve got full, gourmet kitche, if you don’t feel like cooking you just order from room service – easy,” Craig says grinning broadly. “I’ve bought here, and I can’t wait.”

But the Delta Residences at Sun Peaks is more than a luxurious vacation retreat – it’s an investment in the future. “Sun Peaks Resort still has so much growth ahead, and as people see the vision of what this community will ultimately be, they recognize this is a stable, long term investment” says Francis Argouin, sales and marketing director for Sun Peaks Resort.

“We are now starting phase two of four real estate development phases,” Francis says. “The Delta Residences, however, is the last ski in/ski out property that will be built in the heart of the Village – that makes it even more desireable.” And with some local houses now pushing past the benchmark $1 million mark, he believes these units will do nothing buy appreciate.

Year Round Enjoyment

Every Sun Peaks visit I learn something new. Last time I discovered Sun Peaks is the second largest skiable terrain in BC. But not being a skier myself, this trip’s gem is far more interesting on a personal level. “Our mountain bike park is the second largest in BC and fifth largest in North America,” Craig tells me. Wow! He adds their 18-hole golf course will be open for the season by the time I visit next – just in case I want a break from canoeing and hiking.

The Delta Residences at Sun Peaks offers a total of 41 fully furnished condominium retreats with quarter ownership starting as low as $99,900. The Delta Residences at Sun Peaks presentation centre is open 11:00am to 6:00pm daily in the Village next door to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.
