Studio 616 opens at Alpine Village!

Three fabulous local artists are joining together to open Studio 616 at Alpine Village.  Megan Henderson - Red6Red - specializes in taking the old and making it new. Her eclectic mirrors are a local favorite. Meg’s husband, Dave, designs furniture, and together their unique style of using reclaimed and recycled materials to create custom pieces has set their status as two of the most distinctive artists in the northwest.

Shelly and Jesse DeMoss are a husband and wife team of glass artists, and owners of DeMoss Glass Art. Avid travelers, they have created a buzz around what they call their Finder's Keepers Series. They embed their glass art into rocks and leave them for the unsuspecting passerby’s on trails and beaches around the world. These small works of art have been left from South America to Japan.

Rebecca Jeppe, owner of J.Beck Design, has made a name for herself creating one-of-a-kind, hand-made furniture, bedding, draperies, art, and leather goods. Rebecca’s previous store was a McCall favorite for unique furniture and house wares, and we can’t wait to see her stuff in Studio 616!

We're Getting Close!

Outstanding progress has been made at Alpine Village this spring, and we remain on schedule for our grand opening July 4th weekend. Here are some new photos of the Firetower building taken earlier this week. Exterior painting is complete and trees have been planted along the plaza. Pavers are being laid and expect new decor in our model condominium soon.  More information on our opening event will be announced in the next few days. Stay tuned!

3rd Street Brightened Up

A big part of making McCall, Idaho a more walkable town for residents and visitors is improving the sidewalks. Alpine Village is getting into the act by making numerous improvements along 3rd Street. Trees have been planted and attractive, antique-style light posts are now installed. 

Much more progress has been made on the Firetower Building. Check alpinevillagemccall.com to peek in on the crew on our construction webcam.

Firetower Building Hard to Miss in Downtown McCall

Phase One's Firetower Building is turning heads in downtown McCall this summer. Wood framing has already reached the third and fourth floors, and distinctive rooflines and dormers are currently being installed. It's easy to see the scale of this groundbreaking mixed-use project that is redefining land development in McCall.

See below for images from the construction site taken the first week of August, 2008.

Construction Site Pictures from June 30th

Great strides have been made on the ground floor steel framing of the Firetower Building. Wood framing of the second floor is just underway. Stop by and have a look! We are located on 3rd Street, just three blocks south of Payette Lake at the intersection of Washington Street. Our Sales and Information Center is open every day throughout the holiday weekend from 9:00 am till 6:00 pm.

Here are a few shots from various angles taken last week:

First Photos of Alpine Village Vertical Construction

Alpine Village has officially gone vertical this week! Steel is being erected for the first floor, with wood framing soon to follow for the upper floors. Have a look at the images below to see the first building taking shape.

We have also made some changes to our on-site information and design center. It has been freshly painted in a warm green and beige color scheme that is similar to the exteriors of the future buildings. New signs have been hung on the building and, with the snow behind us, we look forward to planting flowers and doing some landscaping in the coming weeks.

If you are coming to McCall for Memorial Day Weekend, stop by for a visit and learn more about this mixed use development that is redefining downtown living.

 

Alpine Village Construction Update - As Spring Blooms, Construction Resumes

Construction has resumed on Phase One at Alpine Village in McCall.  After digging out from our heavy snow year, our crew is currently focusing on finishing the foundation of our first building, tentatively named the "Fire Tower Building".  2008 will be a very busy construction year with a focus on completing:

• The event-friendly plaza
• Fire Tower Building
• Associated parking
• Landscape improvements

We are scheduled for completion of this first phase in late spring of 2009.  Our general contractor, CRB LLC is working diligently with the design team of CTA Architects – Engineers and Epikos Planning & Design to finalize and coordinate this year's projects.

Our Sales & Marketing team is working closely with prospective condominium owners and retail tenants to keep them up to date on the latest plans and schedules.  We expect to have our first retail tenant commitments ready to announce this summer.  And we are very excited about the amount of early interest in condominium ownership at Alpine Village.

Also, check back frequently for announcements on our great upcoming summer events.  We have identified a number of classic McCall experiences - from lake cruises to morel mushroom picking - to offer our visitors and prospective owners at Alpine Village. 

We look forward to seeing you in McCall soon.
