Velvære Secures $197 Million to Advance Luxury Wellness Community Development
In a significant development for the luxury residential market in Deer Valley, Velvære has successfully secured an additional $197 million in capital financing from Anchor Loans. This funding marks a pivotal step in the completion of a premier wellness-focused, ski-in/ski-out residential community that embodies the future of mountain living. The financing arrangement, facilitated by LFB Ventures and supported by equity from Toba Capital, restructures existing funds into a comprehensive financing package totaling $555 million. This capital will be instrumental in advancing the construction of estate lots, private amenities, and luxury residences across the 60-acre development, which represents a $1 billion vision for next-generation living in the mountains.
The Velvære project, developed by Pioche Partners, LLC—a collaboration between Bonfire Collective and VP Companies, Inc.—aims to integrate luxury homes with advanced wellness amenities and an adventure-centric lifestyle. Partnerships with industry leaders such as Fountain Life, Technogym, and Aescape enhance the community's focus on health and well-being. This recent influx of capital not only supports the vertical development of luxury residences but also emphasizes the importance of wellness and adventure amenities in attracting discerning buyers. As such, the financing is crucial for positioning Velvære as a desirable destination for affluent individuals seeking an active lifestyle combined with high-end living experiences.
Market momentum in Deer Valley's East Village underlines the project's viability, with impressive sales figures reported, including multiple estate lot transactions ranging between $4 million and $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Blake Bitterlin, Founder & President of LFB Ventures, underscores the significance of aligning financing with the client’s vision, facilitating a streamlined solution for land development. Dayson Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer of Bonfire Collective, notes that this financing will unlock the next chapter in Velvære's evolution, further solidifying its status as a premier destination for luxury mountain living.
In addition to the new financing, the ongoing collaboration between Velvære and its strategic partners positions the development at the forefront of the luxury real estate market. The commitment to an integrated wellness lifestyle resonates with current consumer trends, making Velvære a compelling option for prospective buyers looking for more than just a home in the mountains. As the development progresses, it is set to redefine the standards of mountain communities, blending luxury living with holistic health offerings.
Overall, the successful acquisition of substantial financing not only accelerates the construction timeline for Velvære but also enhances its potential to become a benchmark for future luxury residential developments in the region. The combination of innovative design, advanced wellness amenities, and a thriving location positions Velvære as a transformative project in the landscape of Deer Valley.
