Jiminy’s master plan was completed in 2006 and it is now a fully developed, premier four-season resort.
Once Cranmore’s Master Plan for redevelopment is complete there will be 98 new condominium residences, a state-of-the-art first aid facility, a full retail shop, a new restaurant, and ski and snowboard school.
The Fairbank Group is currently working through the initial phases of expanded development at Bromley.
The Fairbank Group's roots are in Jiminy Peak in Hancock, Massachusetts, which has been run by Brian Fairbank since 1969. Under his leadership, the resort has been entirely rebuilt, transforming it from a three-lift, winter-only resort that employed half a dozen people to the 2,500-bed, year-round destination it is today. The resort includes a similar base area plan to the $50 million plan that will transform Cranmore.
The Jiminy Peak development brought a vibrant second home community with condominium units whose values and occupancy have remained strong since their inception. Now in the presale phase, condominiums are available through Jiminy Peak Realty.
Since purchasing Cranmore in 2010, the Fairbank Group has dedicated over $10 million toward upgrading mountain infrastructure, adding four new lifts, expanding snowmaking, enhancing family ski learning programs and building a full summer park attraction.
One of the most successful and exciting projects at Cranmore has been the real estate development. This started in 2017 with Kearsarge Brook (a condominium development settled at the base of Cranmore’s South Slope) and has continued through today’s construction of The Lookout and Fairbank Lodge. The latest phase of the expansion is The Lookout, which currently offers 17 residences and a state-of-the-art first aid facility for ski patrol. By 2029, there will be 19 additional residences and a new full-service ski shop.
The Fairbank Lodge, which opened to skiers and riders in December 2024, has 15 two-story lofted private residences. The lower levels feature an expansive new base lodge complete with a food pavilion, slopeside bar, and private and seasonal locker rooms. In the next phase of development, there will also be the addition of an upscale coffee bar.
Sharing all the joys and adventures of mountain living is the driving desire behind everything we do at Cranmore. We have loved watching projects like these turn Cranmore into a place where families gather and memories are made.
Over the years, efforts have been put into an expanded real estate effort at Bromley Mountain. Most recently, The Fairbank Group has narrowed the scope of this development to the Best Farm property on the east side of Bromley’s campus. We are currently in the permitting phase of this project.
