WINNERS OF BEST SKI DEVELOPMENT AND BEST FRENCH APARTMENT

 

London, England: Arc 1950, an Intrawest development in France took home first prizes in two categories ‘Best Ski Development’ and ‘Best French Apartment’ (condominium) at the Homes Overseas Awards, May 4, 2006, held at the Dorchester Hotel in Park Lane.

 

On hand to receive the awards were David Branch— Vice President, and Marc Achard—Regional Sales Director, both from Playground Real Estate Sales S.A. in Lausanne, Switzerland- the licensed broker for Arcs 1950.

“These prestigious awards mark a superb conclusion to Arc 1950’s complete success story,” said Branch. “I dedicate them to our loyal European customer base.”

 

The Homes Overseas Magazine Awards is the first serious event judging overseas property developments on behalf of the British public—arguably the largest single market for foreign property purchases in the world. Homes Overseas Magazine, which is dedicated to covering the overseas property market has more than 50,000 regular readers each month.

The Homes Overseas Magazine Awards recognize the very best in international real estate showcasing the finest new international properties across the eight most popular destinations for Britons buying abroad: Cyprus, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Central and Eastern Europe and the USA (Florida).

 

Judges for the Homes Overseas Magazine Awards include members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), respected property journalists and technical experts. These judges travelled the world to assess short listed developments and awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze accolades to those with outstanding design, location and value.

 

Arcs 1950, Intrawest’s first European project, joins the ranks of its other award winning resorts—among them Whistler/Blackcomb and Aspen Snowmass. Since its launch in 2003, Arc 1950 Le Village, has enjoyed success selling eight phases, most recently “Chalet des Lys”. The judges were impressed by the fact that, as a resort created from scratch, Arc 1950 already has the feel of a lived-in village, and that respect had been shown for local Savoie architectural traditions.

The judges also felt that Le Hameau du Glacier, the first of Arc1950’s phases, was a stylish, value-for-dollar apartment complex, within a fantastic modern ski resort. Homeowners are able to live in the lap of luxury, while enjoying the feeling of being part of an authentic French village.

 

The general consensus from the judges was that Arc 1950 was a fantastic concept very well executed with great vision.
