Mammoth Crossing New Development in Mammoth Lakes 2026

The proposed Mammoth Crossing project involves redevelopment of the intersection at Main Street (Highway 203), Lake Mary Road, and Minaret Road in Mammoth Lakes. A concept review application status update and presentation for the project were included on the Town of Mammoth Lakes Town Council agenda for March 4, 2026.

The project falls under the North Village Specific Plan, originally adopted by the Town of Mammoth Lakes in 1991 with an associated EIR certification. The plan has received amendments in 2004, 2014, 2017, and subsequent years.

The project, developed by New Course Enterprises, covers three corners of the intersection, with proposed uses including lodging, residential units, retail/commercial space, parking, and related amenities. Employee housing is proposed as part of the overall project but is not anticipated to be located on-site. All sites are planned to connect to the town’s bike path system.
