Development
Nielson Development builds what we operate.
Nielson Development is our development and construction arm. It takes every resort from raw ground to opening day — so the people who design the infrastructure answer to the people who run it.

The integrated model
Built by the people who run it.
Most resort operators buy what someone else built. We do the whole thing in-house, so every decision — from where the pipes run to how fast a guest gets an answer — is made by people who will live with it.
