Recent regulatory filings by home furnishings company RH offer a glimpse into its vision for Aspen but no timeline for the completion of what it calls an “ecosytem” comprised of a hotel, gallery and retail, in addition to residential real estate.
Though the RH Guesthouse in Aspen at the Historic Crystal Palace project has languished into yet another month with next to little noticeable progress, its building permit remains active, a city official said last week.
A city-issued stop-work order placed Friday on the construction site of the future RH Guesthouse at the Historic Crystal Palace was lifted hours later after developer Mark Hunt paid off the outstanding balance, people associated with the project said.
Yet stop-work orders on two other Hunt-led projects, also red-tagged Friday, remained in effect at the end of business hours, according to a city engineer.
The outstanding debt to the city amounted to more than $170,000 for encroachment fees, which developers are required to pay when their projects take up parking spaces, sidewalks and other public places.
Reached Friday, Hunt said in an email the issues had been resolved.
