.
ASPEN, Colo. - Feb. 1, 2005 -- St. Regis Residence Club Aspen, the
first hotel affiliated luxury fractional property in the heart of Aspen
has opened with great success and is experiencing a strong sales pace.
Nearly 50 percent of the 275 memberships were sold prior to opening, and
St. Regis Residence Club represents the first time a luxury fractional
residence sold a four-week membership for more than $1 million, setting
a new benchmark for the industry.
"This million-dollar fractional sale represents an enormous milestone in the fractional residence industry," according to Raymond L. "Rip" Gellein, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Vacation Ownership, Inc. "A mixed-use property, the St. Regis Residence Club Aspen expands Starwood's collection of vacation ownership offerings." Membership prices for 1/11th fractional shares range from over $300,000
to over $1.5 million, depending on the size of the residence and the membership
plan. St. Regis Residence Club Aspen is one of the first fractional residence
clubs with a fixed membership option, so individuals may purchase fixed
weeks, as well as a floating option. Nestled in the premium location at
the base of world-famous Aspen Mountain and steps away from the center
of downtown, St. Regis Residence Club Aspen offers only 25 two- and three-bedroom
residences, which are located in the East Wing of the existing St. Regis
Resort Aspen. This landmark property presents the opportunity for a select
few to own an interest in the first hotel-affiliated luxury fractional
project in the heart of Aspen.
