Beachfront redevelopment concept drawings available for review

Concept drawings, showing what the town-owned lands at the beachfront could look like, are now on the town’s website for viewing.

See the drawings.

The concepts provide an overview of the architectural concepts planned for the property the town is selling – subject to due diligence – to Bayloc Developments Inc. with Zancor as a partner.

The property is approximately 8.4 acres, between Spruce Street and Third Street, north of Mosley Street and south of Beach Area 1.

The redevelopment of the town-owned lands at the main beach area will include mixed-used buildings with ground floor retail spaces and restaurants, as well as residential units above, with multiple interactive public access points to the beach. A public square to host events and gatherings is also part of the project. This is all in keeping with the design principles of the Downtown Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines.

The town is planning investments in streetscaping to support the revitalized area, including the creation of a raised waterfront promenade – where Beach Drive currently exists – with various pedestrian-friendly features.  

The concept drawings available for review include mapping that showcases where structures and features will be located.

During the 120-day due diligence period, Bayloc and Zancor will work with planning staff to refine their development concepts.  Work will also start on a master development agreement to establish an overall planning framework for the project that is to be presented to council for consideration within the due diligence period.
