The “Best of Jackson Hole 2022” rankings were released yesterday, February 16th, and real estate agents from Jackson Hole Sotheby’s International Realty swept the rankings for “The Best Real Estate Agent” category. The annual ranking is a community-sourced recognition of the region’s favorite businesses, organizations and individuals across a broad spectrum of categories.
This year saw a couple of perennial favorites return to the top-three: Meredith Landino earned gold, Jill Sassi—silver, and Brett McPeak—bronze. After a brief hiatus from the rankings, Sassi and McPeak returned to positions that they held in 2019—the last time Jackson Hole Sotheby’s International Realty agents occupied all three of the top positions.
Other real estate agent rankings, like RealTrends’ “The Thousand” and “America’s Best,” rank real estate professionals based solely on the prior year’s sales data, and whether or not they sell as a part of a team. The Best of Jackson Hole leaves it up to the community to decide what criteria makes an agent rank among the best. With no direct reference to sales figures, featured agents are typically nominated with consideration for their personality, reputation, community involvement and other attributes as primary factors. Every voter has the opportunity to define what the superlative—”the best”—means to them.
“I am delighted that JHSIR swept the podium. It demonstrates that clients and friends value the brand. I love what I do, and am always looking for ways to solve real estate needs for clients and friends. I am grateful to those who voted for me.”
Arts District West Redefines Modern In-Town Living
New condominiums brings urban sophistication to the mountain west.
by Staff Writers
The latest condominium project within the town of Jackson broke ground in 2020 and is targeting completion within the latter part of 2022. Arts District West is a new mixed-use development from VESKCO, defined chiefly by its ten luxury condominiums at the corner of Glenwood and Simpson. The building draws its name from the neighboring Center for the Arts and is the latest addition to the town of Jackson’s emerging contemporary core.

Arts District West brings urban-inspired living to the heart of Jackson via contemporary design and an effortless ease of ownership and convenience. The development’s location within the town’s lodging overlay allows owners to reside full-time, part-time or to rent their condo short-term for maximum flexibility. The best of Jackson Hole’s cultural scene lies within a few blocks of the project—with renown restaurants, galleries, concert venues and nightlife all within walking distance. The multi-season recreational opportunities created by Snow King Mountain and the nearby Forest Service trailheads bring town’s hiking, biking and skiing within only minutes of your door.
Each condominium within Arts District West has been designed to exacting standards via acclaimed design firm Jeffrey Dungan Architects, with a variety of unique features across the building’s residences. Interior features include expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, Wolf and Subzero appliance packages, custom panel kitchen appliances. Flat stone, masonry-wrapped gas fireplaces with recessed media cabinets accent each unit’s living area, while forced air and in-floor heat ensure comfort. Modern soaking tubs, luxurious wet-room showers and under-cabinet illumination create a relaxing atmosphere within many of the building’s primary suite bathrooms. Exteriors for every unit include a private balcony—complete with a jetted hot tub and a built-in electric grill for year-round outdoor enjoyment.

The third-floor condominiums within Arts District West feature lofted elevation designs with seventeen-foot and greater ceilings above the open-plan living, kitchen and entertaining spaces. The main level houses both the generous primary suite and a flex space designed with versatility as an additional bedroom, or can be easily adapted to an office. Above, the loft space overlooks the living area and features two additional private en suite bedrooms.
Third floor units at Arts District West feature ceilings of at least seventeen feet throughout the open kitchen, dining and living spaces—and are further enhanced by expansive glass walls.
Unit 302, currently listed for sale, provides a total of more than twenty-two-hundred square feet of living space. The preeminent location within the building, Unit 302’s top-floor, corner location provides both southern and eastern exposures for generous natural light and views throughout. The condominium also features its own four-hundred square foot balcony, accessed via the living room or primary suite.
Residential units within Arts District West benefit from two reserved parking spaces within the private, gated, and key card-protected, below-grade parking garage. The same level of security and privacy extends to the residential units via an integrated video phone door-access system, along with secured stairwells and elevators.
Accompanying the primary residential components of the project are two street-level commercial real estate offerings. An available commercial occupancy unit with Simpson Avenue frontage is ideally suited to office use with more than seven-hundred square feet of space. The second commercial unit comprises three adjacent bays for a total of more than forty-four hundred square feet and is enhanced by substantial Glenwood Street frontage. The combination of a convenient, central location and contiguous space makes this unit particularly ideally located for restaurant development. The commercial units’ location is enhanced via the concentration of nearby hotels, on-street parking and the adjacent town parking garage, with the added draw of pedestrian traffic associated with cultural events at the Center for the Arts.
