The Denver Post Names East West Partners No. 1 Large Company in the Colorado 2019 Top Workplaces Awards

CEO Chris Frampton and Family of Companies Comprised of East West
Partners, Slifer Smith & Frampton and East West Hospitality Earn Top
Honors in Annual Workplace Recognition Program

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–East
West Partners, a Colorado-based developer devoted to building,
selling, and managing high-quality real estate, announced today it has
been ranked No. 1 Large Company on the list of 2019 Top Workplaces
awarded by The Denver Post. East West Partners is a family of
companies that includes: East West Partners, Slifer Smith & Frampton
Real Estate and East West Hospitality. In addition, East West Partners
CEO Chris Frampton was named Top Large Company Leader for his
leadership. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered
through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage,
LLC (formerly WorkplaceDynamics), a leading provider of technology-based
employee engagement tools. The anonymous survey measures several aspects
of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection,
just to name a few. A total of 150 organizations in the categories of
large, medium and small were recognized.

“I am tremendously proud that the culture we have built at East West
Partners over the last 30 years has resulted in this prestigious award,”
said Chris Frampton, CEO of East West Partners. “While this recognition
stems from the feedback of the employees of our Colorado family of
companies, we have East West Partners employees all over the country,
all of whom are integral to the East West Partners family.”

In the Roaring Fork Valley, through a joint venture with KSL Capital
Partners and Aspen Skiing Company, East West Partners recently acquired
the Snowmass Base Village Project, a $600 million village which opened
in December 2018, featuring the new Limelight Hotel Snowmass and
ski-in/ski-out residences, plaza with ice rink and summer activities
lawn, new shopping and dining experiences including Mawa’s Crepe Shack
and Sweet ColoraDough Bar, and The Collective Snowmass, a community
building with family-centered programming and mix6, a new restaurant and
bar opening this winter.

“East West Partners is an incredible company to work for and the
corporate culture is felt in every corner of the company, whether you
are in Colorado, Deer Valley or South Carolina,” said Andy Gunion,
managing partner of East West Partners overseeing Snowmass Base Village.
“We are one team, with a shared passion for giving back to our
employees, our communities and the environment.”

A few weeks ago, East West Partners’ Slifer Smith & Frampton expanded
into the Roaring Fork Valley with the acquisition of Palladium
Properties, a boutique and independent luxury property brokerage firm
based in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. The joining of forces is
poised to create a powerful real estate company with international
resources and reach, yet locally owned and dedicated to the communities
it serves.

East West Partners has long recognized the competitive advantage of
creating a positive corporate culture and nurturing employees. The
company strives to create the best possible experience for residential
owners, resort community guests and retail and commercial customers and
the only way to deliver on this promise is to cultivate talented,
caring, service-oriented employees who are committed to the company’s
core values and mission.

This is the eighth annual Denver Post Top Workplaces program and East
West Partners’ first time participating.
