New construction in Steamboat Springs in 2026 is concentrated in three places: the base of Steamboat Resort, where The Stockman and Wildair broke ground this year; Yampa Street downtown, where three condominium and rowhome buildings are in construction, sales or review; and the west side, where The Glen is building single-family homes inside city limits. Below are 13 projects with a dated public source and the stage each has reached.

I am Cheryl Foote, and I sell real estate in Steamboat Springs with Compass. Buyers ask me what is being built and when it will actually be finished, and the answers in circulation mix approved projects with hopeful ones. This page lists only projects I could tie to a developer’s own site, a City of Steamboat Springs or Routt County record, or a dated news report. It quotes a price only where the developer publishes one, names no sales agents, and does not tell you which project to buy.

What new construction is underway in Steamboat Springs in 2026?

Thirteen projects, from a finished 42-residence building to a south county proposal that has not had a substantive public hearing. At a 2026 real estate forecast at The Steamboat Grand, Steamboat Pilot & Today reported on February 10, 2026, representatives of approximately 15 development projects attended, ranging from proposed to completed and for sale, from Hayden to southern Routt County. Seven of the 13 below sit at or near the base of the resort. For the price and inventory picture these projects are entering, see my October 2026 market report.

What is being built at the base of Steamboat Resort?

Seven projects at or near the base of Steamboat Resort on Mount Werner: one finished, two under construction, and four selling or marketing ahead of completion. My Mountain Area guide explains what ski-in, ski-out means in a listing and how to verify it.

The Stockman

The Stockman is the largest building on this list. Auberge Collection announced on March 20, 2026 that the nine-story building at 1965 Ski Time Square Drive will hold 59 guest rooms and suites and 95 residences of one to five bedrooms, including 13 rooftop residences, with residential sales launching in spring 2026 and opening planned for 2030. The developer is Stockman Development LLC, led by Marquee Development. Steamboat Pilot & Today reported on February 10, 2026 that the city’s Final Plat had been approved with conditions and that the 2.25-acre site sits between the TBar and the Slopeside Grill. On September 23, 2026, Newmark announced $482.5 million in financing and said the project had recently broken ground.

Wildair

Wildair is a 20-residence building at 1830 Ski Time Square Drive, across from the base area. ColoradoBiz reported on September 29, 2026 that a joint venture of Orion Real Estate Investment & Development and Blue Sage Ventures had broken ground, with completion slated for early 2029 and homes of 1,400 to 4,000 square feet. The developer’s floor plans show two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts and penthouses. City Council approved the conceptual development plan in November 2022, per the Pilot on March 24, 2024. The developer publishes no prices.

1700

1700 is a planned collection of 23 residences at 1700 Ski Time Square. The project’s site, checked October 12, 2026, says the first nine, of three to six bedrooms, are in the Ski Time Square building, and all nine first-building residences were marked sold; it says future opportunities are in the Burgess Creek building. It publishes no construction start, delivery date or prices, which are the three things to get in writing.

The Amble

The Amble is the finished one. Saunders Construction, the general contractor, announced its topping out on April 11, 2025: 42 residences of one to four bedrooms in an all-electric building across the street from Steamboat Resort, developed by East West Partners, with a heated pool, fitness room, ski lockers and heated underground parking. On October 12, 2026 the developer’s site said it was open, and Steamboat Resort’s property management division listed vacation rentals in the building. The address is 1550 Amble Drive. A resale there follows the existing-construction contract and inspection path, while a unit still sold by the developer may come on the developer’s own contract.

The Astrid

The Astrid is a ski-in, ski-out condominium and townhome project marketed at 2410 Ski Trail Lane, with two- to five-bedroom residences and private two-car garages, per the developer’s site. Its FAQ, updated April 14, 2026, says buyers complete the contract with a 25% deposit. Its development notice, first posted April 8, 2025 and still live on October 12, 2026, says the project is under development and not yet under construction, so ask for the current construction schedule in writing.

ROAN

ROAN is a planned 78-townhome development, three to five bedrooms, built in phases on the last undeveloped parcel in the Wildhorse Meadows subdivision at the base of the Wildhorse Gondola. Mile High CRE reported on June 16, 2025 that Newmark had arranged a $63 million construction loan for the first phase on behalf of Steamboat Meadows LLC, a partnership of RAL Development Services, KZ Capital and Latitude Investment Partners. The project’s site, checked October 12, 2026, says it is under development and not yet complete, and publishes no prices.

Terrain at Walton Creek

Terrain at Walton Creek is eight townhomes on Walton Creek Road, less than half a mile from Steamboat Resort, an MR Homes community. The developer’s site, checked October 12, 2026, shows move-in for winter 2026-27 and lists market-rate residences from $1,875,000 for 1,632 square feet to $2,675,000 for 2,295 square feet with three bedrooms and a den, plus one two-bedroom residence at $800,000 offered only to qualified workforce buyers, with restrictions.

What is being built in downtown Steamboat Springs?

Three small projects on Yampa Street, each at a different stage. Two of the three have sought variances from the city’s development code: the lots are small, and The Latigo site lies within the Yampa River floodplain. My neighborhood map shows where Yampa Street sits.

The Emerald

The Emerald is five four-bedroom rowhomes at 1010 Yampa Street, on the corner of 10th and Yampa. The project’s site posted a July 2026 construction update and, on October 12, 2026, showed four rowhomes for sale and the fifth marked pending, each about 3,780 square feet over three levels with a courtyard, rooftop terrace, private elevator and two-car garage. Owners are offered a separate 397.2-square-foot street-level commercial space, a commercial purchase to discuss with your lender and accountant.

608 Yampa

608 Yampa is a small condominium building from Colorado builder Diverge Homes. The pre-submittal narrative it filed with the city (PS22-0098) describes four three-bedroom condominiums above two ground-floor commercial units totaling 891 square feet, with covered below-grade parking. The builder’s site, last updated May 13, 2026, shows three of the four residences sold and one, Unit 302, for sale, each a corner unit of about 2,000 square feet. The same page still says construction begins in summer 2024, so ask for the current schedule and permit status in writing.

The Latigo (12th and Yampa Residences)

The Latigo is a proposed three-story building at 12th and Yampa streets with eight condominiums, a ground-floor restaurant, enclosed parking and rooftop space, on a corner lot next to Little Toots Park within the Yampa River floodplain. Steamboat Pilot & Today reported on May 7, 2026 that the old buildings on the site had been demolished, and on May 18, 2026 that the Planning Commission had voted 3-2 to recommend approval of a revised plan with six variances, sending it to City Council for a final decision. The Pilot reported that City Council was set to reconsider it on June 2, 2026. Ask the city for the council’s resolution and its conditions before you sign.

What is being built on the west side of Steamboat Springs?

Single-family homes and rental apartments, on the side of town that, according to the Yampa Valley Housing Authority, the city’s long-range plans have designated for growth since its 1999 West Steamboat Springs Area Plan.

The Glen

The Glen is a single-family neighborhood inside city limits, between the housing authority’s Slate Creek land, the former Brown Ranch, to the west and West End Village to the east, with its entrance on Gossard Parkway off Downhill Drive. Steamboat Pilot & Today reported on December 13, 2024 that the 70-acre site holds 139 home lots for 130 single-family homes and nine duplexes, built by JSM Builders; that the homes are not deed-restricted; and that it sits in a zone that does not allow short-term rentals. The project’s sales website, in an update dated April 1, 2026, said several homes were nearing completion, that optional floor plans on Lots 60 to 78 carry an estimated completion of about 12 months from contract, and that townhomes remain in planning and approval.

Steamboat Basecamp

City of Steamboat Springs Resolution No. 2025-62, adopted November 18, 2025, approved Steamboat Basecamp Apartments Phase 2: 80 units at 1845 Big Bend Drive, including workforce units whose occupancy must be restricted to qualified residents as the city’s Community Development Code defines them. That approval adds rental supply rather than homes to buy. Separately, the site for Basecamp Row, the development’s townhomes, said on October 12, 2026 that one move-in-ready townhome remains.

What is happening with Slate Creek, the former Brown Ranch?

Slate Creek Neighborhood is the new name for the Yampa Valley Housing Authority’s land on the city’s western edge, long called Brown Ranch. Nothing is under construction, and no plan, unit count or delivery date is approved. The record, from the housing authority’s own page, the city and local reporting:

• 2021: the housing authority bought 534 acres with a $24 million anonymous donation; about 420 acres lie within the Urban Growth Boundary.
• March 2024: city voters rejected the annexation that City Council had approved in October 2023.
• Late February 2026: city, county and housing authority leaders began defining a joint governance structure.
• March 26, 2026: the governance group agreed to rename the project the Slate Creek Neighborhood, per its meeting minutes as reported by Steamboat Pilot & Today on April 9, 2026.
• July 21, 2026: the city completed its purchase of a separate 187.84-acre property also called Slate Creek, next to the housing authority’s parcel and Bob Adams Airport, for $5.25 million, for recreation and open space.
• October 5, 2026: the Pilot’s guide to the November 3, 2026 ballot lists no Slate Creek annexation question.

For a 2026 purchase, the practical point is narrow: Slate Creek is a planning process, not near-term supply.

What is proposed in Stagecoach?

Stagecoach Mountain Ranch is a proposal, not an approval. Steamboat Pilot & Today reported on September 17, 2025 that Routt County had accepted 11 applications from Discovery Land Co. on September 10, 2025, for a roughly 6,100-acre private ski area development with 613 luxury homes and 137 workforce housing units. The county’s project page, checked October 12, 2026, shows a second corrections letter issued August 10, 2026, plus a separate letter on the 1041 permit application for water and sewer, and says hearings will be scheduled only once the applicant has addressed all review comments.

How does buying pre-construction work in Colorado?

You sign the developer’s contract, pay a deposit on terms the developer sets, and wait for a building that does not exist yet. Each part works differently from buying an existing home. I am not an attorney or a tax adviser, and nothing here is legal or tax advice.

Whose contract will you sign?

Usually the developer’s. Colorado Real Estate Commission position statement CP-1, printed in the 2026 Colorado Real Estate Manual, says homebuilders and other unlicensed sellers are not required to use Commission-approved forms, and that the Commission-approved Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate should not be used when the seller is selling new, incomplete or speculative construction. It also says a broker representing the buyer may help with the transaction but may not advise on the legalities and risks of a contract that is not a Commission-approved form, and should advise the buyer to seek legal counsel. So have a Colorado real estate attorney read the developer’s contract before you sign. The Division of Real Estate’s forms page shows the state forms for comparison.

Where does your deposit go?

In the Commission-approved contract, earnest money is held by the brokerage firm or third party the parties select, such as a title company, and position statement CP-6 says a brokerage firm holding it does so on behalf of both buyer and seller. A developer’s contract can set its own terms: who holds the deposit, when it becomes non-refundable, whether it can be released to the developer for construction, and what you are owed if the building is late or never built. Position statement CP-5 adds that a contract calling for an interest-bearing deposit should state who is entitled to the interest.

Why do delivery dates slip into spring?

Because Steamboat’s construction calendar closes for winter. The City of Steamboat Springs release of October 7, 2026 says final site inspections for a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy on single-family and duplex projects, and final engineering site inspections on multifamily projects, are not available from November 1 to April 1, weather permitting. Outdoor water and sewer work, and excavation in the public right-of-way, are prohibited from November 1 to May 1 without a variance. Ask for the outside completion date, what you may do if it passes, and whether the developer may close on a temporary certificate of occupancy.

What will the HOA cost in a building with no history?

No one knows yet. In a resale, the Colorado Division of Real Estate notes that buyers are entitled to the association’s governing and financial documents under section 7 of the Contract to Buy and Sell, and its guidance on buying in an HOA stresses budgets, insurance and minutes that reveal special assessments. A new association has no operating history, so its budget is the developer’s estimate. Ask for the proposed budget, reserve plan, declaration and master insurance policy.

Can you rent it, and who is allowed to buy it?

Short-term rental rights in the city follow overlay zones, not product type; my short-term rental guide explains the zones, and the financing and management guide covers how loan type follows intended use. Some new units also carry deed restrictions, such as Terrain’s workforce unit or the workforce units in Basecamp Apartments Phase 2. A recorded restriction binds every future owner, so read the recorded document, not the marketing summary.

Which wildfire code was it permitted under?

Colorado now has a statewide Wildfire Resiliency Code, and the state code text published by the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control applies to the construction and alteration of buildings with occupiable or habitable space within the wildland-urban interface areas it designates. Routt County’s locally adopted map places every area of the county in the Moderate or High fire intensity classification, so a building permit application received on or after July 1, 2026 must meet the Class 2 requirements, and projects that applied before that date may be exempt. Ask which code editions the building permit was issued under. My wildfire code guide covers the local effective date and what changes on the plans, and if you would rather build than buy from a developer, my guide to buying land or building a custom home in Routt County covers zoning, water, septic and access.

What should you ask a developer before you sign?

Ask for each of these in writing and keep the answers with your contract.

• Is the contract a Commission-approved form or the developer’s own, and who is the legal seller?
• Who holds the deposit, in what account, and when does any part become non-refundable or get released to the developer?
• What is the outside completion date, and what are your remedies if it passes?
• Has the building permit been issued, on what date, and under which code editions?
• Which city or county approvals are final, and are any conditions still open?
• What are the proposed HOA budget, reserves and insurance?
• Is the unit in a short-term rental zone, and does a deed restriction apply?
• What finishes and square footage are guaranteed, and what can change without your consent?

If you live out of state, my out-of-area buyer’s guide covers inspections, closings and signings from a distance.
