Case Study

  • In 2019, LEAD Resort Management (LRM) was selected to assume full management responsibilities for The Gant, a 143-unit luxury condominium resort in Aspen, Colorado. The property faced the need for a more hands-on, ownership-aligned approach—one that prioritized operational excellence, financial performance, and brand integrity.

  • The Gant required a management solution uniquely tailored to the condominium resort model—distinct from traditional hotels. This included navigating complex owner relationships, aging infrastructure, evolving guest expectations, and the economic uncertainty brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Our Approach
    LRM brought deep, localized leadership and decades of condo-resort experience to reposition The Gant through the following strategies:

    • Net Operating Income Focus: Realigned operational strategies to prioritize bottom-line profitability for owners.

    • Technology Integration: Streamlined systems for reservations, revenue management, guest service, and maintenance.

    • Owner Engagement: Manage a rating and rotation system that incentivized upgrades and improved overall unit quality.

    • Marketing & Sales Support: Enhanced brand visibility through digital marketing, PR, and group sales efforts targeting corporate and leisure segments.

    • F&B Revitalization: Transformed the on-site café through local culinary partnerships, improving both service and financial contribution.

  • Over five years of LRM management, The Gant has achieved:

    • 40% growth in Gross Rental Revenue

    • 18% growth in Net Operating Income

    • 35% increase in Food & Beverage revenue

    • Significant contributions to the HOA's capital reserves through profitable F&B operations

    • Improved owner satisfaction and increased rental program participation

    • Sustained guest satisfaction with high review scores and return visitation

  • The Gant is widely recognized as a market leader in Aspen—not only for its guest experience but also for its operational efficiency and owner alignment. This success showcases LRM’s ability to drive results without sacrificing culture, identity, or long-term vision.
