Building Overview
Empire Residences is a mountain modern lodge designed by Beecher Walker Architecture with interiors by Alder & Tweed. The building's through-building unit design is its most distinctive architectural feature: units extend through the full depth of the building, providing views to the east and west simultaneously. Ski run and mountain views from bedrooms face one direction while living areas look toward Silver Lake, Bald Mountain, and the Uinta Mountains in the other. Kitchen and dining areas open to large outdoor decks.
The building was completed in phases from 2019 through 2021. Residences range from 1,169 to 3,630 square feet with 2 to 5 bedrooms. Appliances are Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Asko throughout. Each unit has an outdoor deck. Select units include private hot tubs.
Building amenities include a front lobby with a concierge desk, an apres-ski fireside lounge and pub, a fitness center, a ski locker room, a ski beach patio with outdoor fire pits, underground parking with private storage, and a live-in resident manager. The building is positioned adjacent to the Silver Buck ski run and the Silver Strike Express chairlift.
Ski Access
Empire Residences has the strongest unit-level ski access data of any condo building at Empire Pass. Ski to Door appears on 21 of 23 MLS records and Ski Out of Door on 21 of 23. These are the strongest access designations in the Park City MLS taxonomy, indicating direct ski access at the individual unit rather than at the building perimeter. Ski Slope Named Trails appears on 19 of 23 records. Only 3 of 23 records also carry Ski Into/Out of Project designations. Most records rely exclusively on the unit-level designations without needing the project-level ones.
Because individual records can carry multiple designations simultaneously, these counts do not add to 23. The key takeaway for buyers comparing buildings: no other Empire Pass condo building comes close to Empire Residences on the Ski to Door metric. Argent has 0 Ski to Door records. Arrowleaf has 43 of 131. Flagstaff has 10 of 87. Silver Strike Lodge has 40 of 80. Empire Residences at 21 of 23 is in a different category. Confirm the specific unit's access through HOA documents during due diligence.
Market Data
Empire Residences has no pre-2020 closed sales — the building delivered in 2019 through 2021 and the initial absorption occurred in 2020 and 2021, with 20 of the 22 closings occurring in that window. Two additional resales have occurred since: one in April 2023 and one in January 2025. The all-time PPSF median of $1,466 is anchored primarily to the 2020-2021 initial pricing. The two post-initial resales show materially higher PPSF: $2,113 (Unit 103, April 2023) and $2,545 (Unit 402, January 2025).
Initial Absorption (2020–2021)
20 closings from December 2020 through September 2021. PPSF ranged from $965 to $1,705. The low $965 PPSF was Unit 104 (2,532 sqft, 4BR) in January 2021, which resold 4 months later for $3,800,000 ($1,501/sqft). The highest initial closing was Unit 204 at $4,400,000 in September 2021 ($1,705/sqft). Median DOM across the absorption was 11 days; several units with higher DOM reflected construction delays, not market softness.
Post-Absorption Resales
Unit 103 (1,169 sqft, 2BR) sold for $1,190,000 in January 2021 and resold for $2,470,000 in April 2023, a 108% gain in 27 months at $2,113/sqft. Unit 402 (3,418 sqft, 5BR) sold for $5,305,000 in March 2021 and resold for $8,700,000 in January 2025, a 64% gain in 46 months at $2,545/sqft — the highest sale in the building's history.
Same-Year Resales (2021)
Three units resold within months of their initial closing. Unit 104: $2,443,395 (January 2021) to $3,800,000 (May 2021), +56% in 4 months. Unit 204: $3,224,440 (December 2020) to $4,400,000 (September 2021), +36% in 9 months. These rapid same-year resales reflect both initial pricing that left equity on the table and strong immediate post-delivery demand.
Buyer Profile
68% cash rate across 22 closings, with 2 exchange/1031 transactions and 5 conventional. SP/LP averaged 0.997 across all closings, meaning buyers paid essentially at list price. The two 1031 exchange transactions are notable in a building of this scale — they indicate investment-oriented buyers who treated Empire Residences as a qualified like-kind exchange property.
Ownership Details
The buyer typically pays a transfer fee at closing of 1% of the purchase price, applicable to all Empire Pass properties. On a $4,000,000 purchase, that fee is $40,000 at closing in addition to standard transaction costs. All Empire Pass properties also carry the Empire Pass Master HOA fee ($3,443 per year as of 2025) on top of the Empire Residences community HOA.
Nightly rental is confirmed on all 22 closed MLS records. As with all Empire Pass properties, rental rights should be confirmed at the unit level through HOA documents before closing. The building includes a live-in resident manager, which supports rental operations for participating owners. All 22 records also confirm nightly rental is permitted, making Empire Residences one of the most broadly rental-eligible buildings at Empire Pass.
Talisker Club membership is not required to purchase at Empire Residences. The nearby Talisker Tower Club at 8680 Empire Club Drive offers dining, an outdoor pool, a gym, and spa facilities accessible to Tower residents and Talisker members. Some Empire Residences owners may pursue optional Talisker membership when availability allows, which also provides golf access at Tuhaye and access to Courchevel on Main Street. Talisker membership is mandatory only at The Residences at the Tower. For more detail on membership structure and access, see the Talisker Club membership information page.
Who Empire Residences Fits
Who It Fits
- Buyers who prioritize unit-level ski access and want the strongest Ski to Door coverage at Empire Pass — no other condo building in the area matches the 21-of-23-record rate
- Buyers seeking nightly rental flexibility — all 22 MLS records confirm rental permitted, with a live-in manager supporting rental operations
- Buyers who value distinctive architecture, specifically the through-building design that delivers views in both directions from a single unit
- Investment-oriented buyers — Empire Residences has documented 1031 exchange transactions and strong resale appreciation on the few post-initial resales on record
- Buyers who want newer construction at Empire Pass — built 2019 to 2021, Empire Residences is among the more recently completed buildings in the Village
Who It May Not Fit
- Buyers who need a large comparable dataset — 22 closed sales across approximately 19 units is a thinner history than Arrowleaf (130) or Flagstaff (86), making CMA work more sensitive to comparable selection
- Buyers working below the $1.2M price floor — that was the lowest sale in building history and current resale pricing has moved materially higher
- Buyers who want a hotel-branded rental program — Empire Residences has a live-in manager but is not hotel-branded; Montage Deer Valley serves that need
- Buyers who require Talisker Club membership as part of the purchase — that structure applies only at The Residences at the Tower
