Grossinger’s Catskills resort to be redeveloped as year-round destination

The former Grossinger’s resort in New York’s Catskill Mountains, a 1,029-acre property that closed in 1986, is slated for redevelopment into a year-round resort and residential community. Florida-based PPG Development, led by Ari Pearl, acquired the site for $14.75 million in June 2025. The plans include restoring the Big G golf course, adding a second course, a 100-room hotel, approximately 175 private residences, a polo and equestrian center, and various wellness and recreational facilities. PPG stated that Grossinger's is "being reimagined as a premier year-round resort and residential community in the heart of the Catskills." The original Grossinger’s was a significant Jewish vacation destination and is widely considered an inspiration for the film “Dirty Dancing.”
