Winter Park Workforce Housing

Saunders is completing a new 330-unit housing complex offering private accommodations for the resort’s year-round and seasonal employees.

The Winter Park Ski Resort employs over 500 people each ski season — many who travel from all over the world to spend the winter season working on the mountain. The resort currently offers limited housing for workers in town, but affordable options in the community haven’t been able to keep up with demand.

Saunders completed foundations for the resort’s new 330-unit workforce housing complex in October 2022, picking back up with construction after the 2022-2023 ski season. The project is using sustainable modular construction that is solar ready. Eliminating the multi-bed, dorm-style living, this project will offer studio and one-bedroom apartments becoming the first workforce housing project in the area offering private accommodations for the resort’s year-round and seasonal employees.
