Four Generations of Grand County Memories
President Eisenhower, Carl Norgren and President Hoover rendezvous at Byers Peak Ranch, also known as the Western White House. Circa 1954
A legacy that reaches back seven decades.
Based in Denver, Colorado, Koelbel and Company has been a force in shaping Colorado’s commercial and residential real estate since 1952. The longest-operating family-owned real estate firm in the region, Koelbel has a slate of developments stretching from mountain communities to metropolitan Denver. The company is currently under the leadership of Buz Koelbel as president and CEO.
A reverence for the high country.
Buz Koelbel’s father, Walt Koelbel, and maternal grandfather, Denver industrialist Carl Norgren, understood the value of Colorado’s land resources. Norgren built a Grand County ranch dubbed the Western White House because it became a favored retreat of President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s. Norgren’s ranch initiated a tradition of imaginative mountain resort projects that are a continuing passion of Koelbel and Company.
In addition to Grand Elk, Koelbel and Company is the developer of nearby Rendezvous Colorado, a trailside community on the edge of Winter Park, and The Residences at Rendezvous Center, modern townhomes and flats in downtown Winter Park.
“Koelbel delivered a beautiful community with resort amenities; a smooth buying process; many design and customization options to fit our budget, lifestyle, and family needs; regular and consistent updates during the design and build process; trust and transparency; a solidly crafted, beautiful finished home; and exceptional post purchase support.” -Nicole V.
