This is information that may have surprised a lot of people at the time, but it is however well happened. The former NBA star In 2019, the winter sports resort of Villard-de-Lans/Corrençon was offered, which brings together the two villages. A surprising operation, especially since the ex-husband of Eva Longoria is not really a regular at ski resorts. Advised by several intermediaries, the 39-year-old former basketball player created the Infinity Nine Mountain holding company in order to buy the Iséroise resort for a good price if we are to believe the article. “We sold them 9 million euros, it’s given”says Daniel Huillier, one of the sellers.
the project for Tony Parker and his associates is to make this place a resort that can accommodate tourists more than 300 days a year to make it a place of “tourism of the four seasons”. Three years later, the project is obviously not particularly well advanced if we stick to the information of our colleagues from Release. A size problem prevents the construction of a huge hamlet since the building permit does not include an impact study on fauna and flora. An imperative so that the project is validated, but that does not seem to be on the agenda. “It makes us lose a year if we don’t find something serious, and then there are compensation mechanisms”says Ruben Joly, a real estate developer associated with the project.
The difficult choice of property manager
In the absence of this impact study, the project of nearly 50 million euros should not be able to start before the spring of 2023. Another problem arose subsequently, the allocation of the management of this building stock. Tony Parker’s team had thought of Pierre and Vacances-Center Parcs, but the group is on the verge of bankruptcy, experienced a takeover. New setback in the project and the investors had to turn to a local investor.
Several problems mean that Tony Parker’s ambitious project will take longer than expected to see the light of day, but Release recalls that the former basketball player should not lose a lot of money if the case were to fall apart.
