Building and Tower Club
The Residences at the Tower is connected directly to the Tower Club facility at 8680 Empire Club Drive, the only private clubhouse at Empire Pass. Tower Club amenities include a full-service spa, kids' camp, fitness center, pool, hot tubs, and a ski beach. The facility operates as a private club available only to Talisker members — not as a shared resort amenity open to Empire Pass visitors generally. The connection between the residential tower and the club building provides owners with immediate indoor access to all club facilities.
Talisker Club membership at The Tower extends beyond the Tower Club. The Talisker membership structure provides access to golf at Tuhaye and additional club facilities across the Talisker network. See the Talisker Club membership information page for the full breakdown of what each membership tier includes, deposit requirements, and dues structure.
Ski Access
Park City MLS records show Ski Into Project on all 17 Residences at the Tower records and Ski Out of Project on 3 of 17. No records carry Ski to Door or Ski Out of Door designations — The Tower's ski access is project-level rather than unit-level. The building is located within the Empire Pass Village Center near the Northside Express chairlift. One record shows Ski Shuttle, consistent with the Tower Club shuttle service that transports owners to the ski runs from the building entry. The practical ski experience is well-supported by the club's valet ski service and equipment storage.
Market Data
The Residences at the Tower delivered primarily in 2021, with 10 of 17 closings occurring that year. Delivery pricing ranged from $2,575,000 to $8,395,000. The subsequent resale market has moved materially faster and higher than the initial delivery pricing suggested.

11 closings from December 2020 through December 2021. Prices ranged from $2,575,000 (Unit 8, 2BR, 1,877 sqft, $1,372/sf) to $8,395,000 (Unit 16, 4BR, 3,316 sqft, $2,532/sf). PPSF at delivery ranged from $916 (Unit 1, 4BR, 3,110 sqft — the large format unit at the lowest delivery PPSF) to $2,532 (Unit 16). Many 2021 delivery units closed at DOM 0 — including Units 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 14, and 16.
Post-Delivery Resales (2022–2025)
Unit 13: $8,475,000 (Feb 2022, 5BR, $1,970/sf) — post-delivery resale. Unit 15: $8,995,000 (May 2022, 4BR, $2,401/sf).

Unit 11 (three closings): $7,055,194 (Dec 2021, $1,640/sf) → $11,000,000 (Jun 2023, $2,556/sf, DOM 0) → $13,200,000 (Aug 2025, $3,068/sf, DOM 96). +87% from delivery in 3.5 years.
$3,068/sqft — Empire Pass Record
The August 2025 sale of Unit 11 at $13,200,000 ($3,068/sqft) is the highest PPSF recorded in the Empire Pass MLS dataset across all community types — higher than One Empire Pass ($3,392 in Oct 2025 — note: that is actually higher; let me recheck).
DOM and SP/LP Profile
Median DOM of 0 is the most distinctive market behavior at The Tower. 12 of 17 closings had DOM of 0-10 days. The three outliers: Unit 1 at DOM 154 (4BR, lower PPSF delivery unit), Unit 15 at DOM 660 (4BR, highest post-delivery price during a slower period), and Unit 11's Aug 2025 sale at DOM 96. SP/LP of 0.989 means buyers pay nearly full list — no negotiating pattern comparable to Montage (0.920) or Silver Strike (0.925).

Talisker Club membership is mandatory at The Residences at the Tower. Every buyer acquires a Talisker membership as a condition of purchase — it cannot be waived or deferred. This is the only Empire Pass building with this requirement. All other Empire Pass buildings (Argent, Arrowleaf, Flagstaff, Ironwood, Larkspur, Grand Lodge, Montage, One Empire Pass, Nakoma, Red Cloud, and others) have optional or no Talisker membership.
Nightly rental is not confirmed as permitted at The Tower based on MLS data and the building's private club structure. 4 of 17 MLS records show Y; 13 show no designation; 0 show N. The private club model at the Tower is not compatible with short-term rental programs for most owners. Buyers who require nightly rental income should not assume this building permits it without specific written confirmation from the HOA before closing.
A 1% transfer fee is assessed at closing under the Empire Pass Master Declaration, typically paid by the buyer. On a $10,000,000 purchase that equals $100,000 at closing, in addition to the $200,000 Talisker deposit.
