Want to live the luxury Aspen lifestyle? Purchasing a fractional ownership property at a luxury resort in Aspen can give you the lifestyle at only a portion of the cost of buying a home or condominium. Fractional ownership condos at luxury brands such as the Hyatt Grand Aspen, Ritz-Carlton Club at Aspen Highlands or St. Regis Residence Club offer world-class amenities and service.
Each luxury resort is unique in amenities, features and benefits. So this week, our blog team takes a closer look at fractional ownership opportunities in Aspen, and which one is the perfect fit for you!
Fractional ownership condos allow buyers to purchase a specific week or weeks per year, much like a traditional timeshare. Buyers can use their week or rent it, depending on their choice. Many first-time buyers choose a fractional opportunity because it allows them a taste of the Aspen lifestyle at a much lower cost than purchasing a full condominium or single-family home. Also, luxury brands in Aspen often times have sharing privileges with other locations in the Caribbean, Los Angeles or New York City. So owners can exchange or trade weeks with other owners from around the world. Needless to say, there's a lot of flexibility and benefits of owning a fractional residence in Aspen. Frias brokers are experienced in fractional opportunities, and have helped many buyers secure the unit and the weeks for which they are looking. Our brokers are available 24/7 to help you begin the process of selecting the right unit and weeks for you. Now, let's take a closer look at the individual luxury brands:
