North Lake Tahoe's Crystal Bay community
is remaking its history by welcoming a Silver
LEED-certified mixed-use redevelopment
offering 59 residences; a 275-room, five-star
hotel; wellness spa; boutique shops and galleries;
and casino. Kicking off the first phase is Granite
Place, consisting of 18 two- to four-bedroom
condos ranging from 1,641 to 2,718 square
feet and featuring spa and barbecue terraces
overlooking the lake, as well as access to resort-
like amenities such as 24/7 concierge services
such as car detailing and pet grooming. An added
bonus to purchasing a mountain retreat in the
new neighborhood? "Nevada continues to have
one of the least-burdensome tax structures in the
nation, offering buyers the opportunity to invest
or live at Granite Place while taking advantage
of Lake Tahoe's tax-free north shore," says the
project's developer, Heather Bacon. Sales already
have begun on the condos, with prices ranging
from $1.65 to $2.9 million and completion set for
late spring. -W.B.
e former Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows on the Big
Island of Hawaii has been undergoing a $100 million-plus
redesign and revitalization and will be reborn as Mauna
Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection in late 2019. Expect the
transformed resort to feature 32 Hart
Howerton-designed oceanfront acres
dotted with sacred royal fishing ponds,
natural lava plains, tropical gardens and
white-sand beaches, along with public
areas and guest rooms done by Meyer
Davis. Among the highlights: ocean-front
and ocean-view suites offering panoramic
coastal views; ultra-luxe bungalows with
private pools and butler service; two
signature restaurants; a 5,000-square-foot
fitness facility; spa; and an infinity-edge
adult pool and lounge with cabanas.
Adding to the lineup is Auberge's signature
adventures program, with activities
including standup paddle boarding and
outrigger canoeing. "Mauna Lani's show-
stopping features will evoke the senses—
from the visually captivating design
aesthetic to the soul-stirring experiential
programming—for a thoughtfully crafted
journey," says General Manager Sanjiv
Hulugalle. -W.B.
