Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, a part of Accor, has partnered with Miami real estate developer Gregg Covin to develop the first luxury private branded residential offering in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountain region. The project, called Fairmont Heritage Place – The Cedars, Hendersonville, will be a 127-unit luxury residential community offering private ownership with the option to participate in a rental program. The development includes a magnificent restoration of the original Antebellum grand hotel, which sits on the National Register of Historic Places. Two new six-story, mid-rise buildings will be comprised of studios, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units and stunning penthouses, all with sprawling terraces and impressive mountain views.
The property is set to transform the mountain city that has become the preferred second-home destination for generations of South Floridians and Northeasterners. Situated two blocks from the historic Main Street, the residences will be the new home to many of the area’s five-star amenities, offering an exceptional cuisine and beverage program appealing to owners, guests, and locals, including a signature restaurant, a lobby bar, and a specialty café.
Residents and guests have access to nearby private club with Tom Fazio designed Champion Hills Golf Club. The Fairmont-branded residence owners will also be invited to join the Accor Ownership Benefits Program, presenting them with an invitation to join Diamond status in ALL-Accor Live Limitless – one of the most appealing lifestyle loyalty programs in the world – access to a VIP reservation desk, and special residence owner rates at more than 5,000 Accor hotels and resorts worldwide. Sales are expected to launch this summer.
