Construction at Fitzsimmons Walk is coming along at a steady pace with much of the north end of the project nearing completion. Landscaping has begun and we are starting to see the true magic of this property take form. Imagine, sitting out by your outdoor living room, enjoying a glass of wine after a great day skiing, golf or shopping and watching the sun go down over the mountains, with the gentle sounds of Fitzsimmons Creek in the background. A truely unique property.

Here are a few shots we took during our Helicopter photo shoot last week. These residences offer incredible views of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains but are also set on the crystal blue Fitzsimmons Creek.
