$400-million redevelopment

"The creation of new and exciting projects in the area has caused some inconvenience for Vail citizens and visitors," says developer Robert McNichols of Phoenix-based Daedalus Real Estate Advisors. "We're making every effort to minimize that disruption of services and believe it is imperative to maintain a grocery store in the area." McNichols is the owner and developer of Crossroads Market and the One Willow Bridge project now under construction. One Willow Bridge is a luxury condo project where units are priced from $3.6 million.

The Solaris multi-use project will include a new concept, "Marketplace, too!"--another Daedalus development, offering the grocery and convenience store services to be included in the Crossroads Market. The overall food component, owned by Daedauls, is called Marketplace on Meadow Drive.

Crossroads Market will offer fresh grocery items, dry goods and sundries merchandise. In addition, the Market also will provide a variety of other merchandise from local vendors such as baked goods, fresh flowers, books and periodicals, cards and gift items. An upgraded deli & café area will feature soups, salads, sandwiches and an array of prepared foods. It also will include a coffee bar and café seating.
