KSL and East West Partners have a partnership to pursue resort real estate acquisition and development opportunities throughout the United States. East West and KSL have a 30-year history of working together and developing resort real estate, dating back to their founders' common time in Vail and Beaver Creek Resorts. The partnership is actively looking for existing and new development opportunities in first-class mountain, beach, and second-home resort real estate markets, seeking to capitalize on recent distress in these markets. Specifically, the partnership is targeting projects in need of completion, preferably ones with associated development opportunities. East West was founded in 1986 with the purchase of a single piece of land in a then emerging resort called Beaver Creek. Today, that development is a world-class destination and the cornerstone for a portfolio of acclaimed projects in the finest resort destinations across the United States. East West's extensive resort development history includes hotels, condominiums, fractional ownership, spas, golf courses, restaurants, retail, and clubs.
