The Town Center is a 165-acre, mixed-use project located at the intersection of all key development in Big Sky -- Ousel Falls
Road and Lone Mountain Trail (Big Sky Spur Rd.). Approximately 50 acres is zoned for commercial uses, and 115 acres is zoned
for homes and condos. The project has been approved for approximately 500 residences, including 120 condos above the
commercial district. An estimated 375,000 square feet of commercial space has been approved, including 36,000 square feet
for civic uses such as a performing arts center, emergency medical facilities, community center, and more. Finally, about
150 lodging rooms will be available in the Town Center. With about 25% open space, trails, and parkland, the Town Center's
development philosophy is sensitive and responsive to the outstanding natural values of the region. Reaching outward from
town into the surrounding mountains, access to Ousel Falls Trail will invite exploration and will provide additional
marketability for the residents and businesses of Town Center. The goal of creating a walkable community with sidewalks,
tree-lined boulevards, trails, and services near the residences has been the defining feature of the plan from the beginning.
The heart of the plan is Town Center Avenue (“Main Street,” if you will) where most of the commercial lots are located.
In the middle of Town Center Avenue is a Town Plaza that will likely feature an ice skating rink during the winter, and plenty
of room for small festivals and performances in the summer months. The Plaza and Town Center Avenue will be the hub of activity
currently absent in Big Sky and will be the destination attraction that draws visitors from around the country. The first
projects along Town Center Avenue are in the design and permitting process and should start construction soon.
Simkins Holdings, LLC has taken great care to ensure that the individual project developers in the Town Center will be
able to move forward with their building projects in a relatively short time frame by having secured the necessary zoning
and entitlement approvals in advance.
The commercial core of Big Sky is as close as a few blocks away, accessible by sidewalks from the many residential units
being offered. Restaurants, shopping, cafes, a movie theatre, grocery stores, and many other services are either available
now or planned for the near future, and the Town Center amenity package will continue to expand every year. Town Center
is probably the most desirable place to live because the lower elevation of the meadow receives about 60% less snowfall.
The milder climate means Spring comes earlier, Fall stays later, and the Summer lasts longer than on properties on the Mountain.
All of this creates more opportunities for year-round recreation right from your doorstep in Big Sky. Beautiful trails,
fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and, of course, the world famous winter experience, are only a
few of the Big Sky opportunities immediately available in the Town Center!
