Velvære Secures Major Financing to Propel Luxury Wellness Community Development
In a significant milestone for the luxury wellness real estate sector, Velvære, a premier ski-in/ski-out residential community in Deer Valley's East Village, successfully acquires $197 million in capital financing from Anchor Loans. This funding, orchestrated by LFB Ventures and backed by equity from Toba Capital, reconfigures the existing financial structure into a comprehensive $555 million package. This capital infusion is essential for advancing the completion of Velvære’s estate lots, private amenities, and high-end residential offerings, all of which align with the community's vision of next-generation mountain living.
Covering an expansive 60 acres and representing a total investment of $1 billion, Velvære is poised to redefine luxury living in the mountains. Developed by Pioche Partners, LLC, a collaboration of Bonfire Collective and VP Companies, Inc., the community integrates advanced wellness amenities with an adventure-centric lifestyle. Partnerships with industry leaders like Fountain Life, Technogym, and Aescape further enhance the project’s focus on health and well-being, catering to the increasing demand for comprehensive wellness experiences in premium residential markets. The infusion of funds will notably expedite the construction of both wellness facilities and luxury residences, reinforcing Velvære’s commitment to creating a holistic living environment.
The timing of this financing coincides with exceptional market momentum in Deer Valley's East Village, where sales figures have reached new heights. The fourth quarter of 2025 alone sees multiple estate lot transactions ranging from $4 million to $5 million, showcasing Velvære's appeal as a premier destination for affluent buyers seeking ski-in/ski-out properties. Blake Bitterlin, Founder & President of LFB Ventures, underscores the strategic significance of securing capital that aligns with Velvære’s vision, emphasizing a streamlined approach to financing that facilitates the development process. Dayson Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer of Bonfire Collective, echoes this sentiment, stating that the new financing will unlock the next chapter of Velvære's ambitious project.
In addition to securing the vital financing, Velvære's development reflects broader trends in the luxury real estate market, where wellness and lifestyle amenities are becoming increasingly essential. The community's focus on integrating health and adventure with high-end living positions it favorably within an evolving industry landscape. As more consumers prioritize wellness in their residential choices, Velvære stands out as a model for future developments aiming to blend luxury with a holistic lifestyle.
With this pivotal investment, Velvære not only enhances its construction capabilities but also reinforces its standing as a leading player in the premium mountain living sector. The community’s innovative approach is likely to appeal to discerning buyers seeking both luxury and well-being in their living environments.
