Four Seasons Vail Overcomes Unique Construction Challenges
Hyder Construction was awarded a silver award at the 2011 AGC ACE Awards in the category of “Meeting the Challenge of a Difficult Job” for the five-star Four Seasons Resort in Vail. The 500,000-sq-ft facility includes a full-service, 121-room hotel, 16 private residences and 19 fractional residence club homes.
Although Hyder completed the massive project, construction began in 2007 under the management of a different general contractor. In 2009 a large banking interest foreclosed and assumed responsibility for the project. The firm began by cleaning house, terminating the original contractor and all subcontractors. They solicited proposals from general contractors to ready the partially completed building for opening. In June 2009, Hyder took over a project estimated to be 60% complete. The resort owners had an aggressive six-month schedule to finish before the 2009 ski season.
