Colorado Gets New Lifestyle and Spirituality Spa

Ananda, a $40 Million Lifestyle Community Featuring The Rocky Mountain Chopra Center & Spa Under Development at Westin Westminster

Westminster Promenade Development Company, LLC, announced plans for Ananda, Inspired Living, a $40 M real estate project to be built adjacent to The Westin Westminster Hotel & Conference Center. Ananda will include The Rocky Mountain Chopra Center & Spa, as well as 60 lifestyle residential units and retail shops.

Westminster, CO was chosen as the location because the city incorporates so many of Colorado's lifestyle benefits into one area. Located equal distance from downtown Denver and Boulder, the city is known for its high tech and biotech industries, its hiking and bike trails, and some of the best public golf courses in the state.

"We are thrilled that the Chopra organization chose The Westminster Promenade as the location for the very first Chopra Center in the central United States," states Tim O'Byrne. "We believe that the synergy of Chopra, the Westin hotel and Ananda, Inspired Living, will bring a whole new tourism element to Colorado's Front Range."

On the partnership in Colorado, Dr. Chopra states, "The Center is the heart of my life's work. I am inspired by the quality and dedication of the people who are helping me develop this beautiful facility and programs."

Ananda's residential lifestyle units will range from 600 sq. ft. studios to over 4,000 sq. ft. three-bedroom penthouse units, and will range in price from $200 K to over $1 M. The units will be accessible to the hotel via a covered sky-bridge that connects the hotel's existing recreation area to the spa. Two floors of the facility will feature condo-tel rooms, to be owned and occupied by private owners, but available to be placed in a hotel rental pool at the owner's discretion.

The centerpiece of the 17,000 sq. ft. Chopra Center will have unobstructed views of the Flatiron Range of the Rocky Mountains. Yoga classes, aerobics classes, treatment rooms and a salon offering all-natural facials, manicures and pedicures will be available for both men and women.

The Architect/Designer is Boulder, Colorado's Oz Architects and the interior designer is Atmospheres by Kris Hansen. The team is designing the project to continue the ASID award-winning "High-Plains" design and architecture of the adjacent hotel.
