Tofino, BC – (October 25, 2011) – Located in the centre of Tofino’s downtown core, The Shore, a luxury waterfront real estate development, is pleased to introduce The Shore Marina & Pier to Canada’s surfing capital. Launching spring 2012, the Shore’s new marina and pier will feature a new dockside restaurant and a multi-purpose recreational facility open to the public, which will serve as both a fitness centre and a communal gathering space.
Eager to adhere to visions detailed in Tofino’s Official Community Plan (OCP), The Shore’s developer Thomas Olsen of Moss Developments went through great measures to consult with the community and build a public amenity that would serve all the people of Tofino – tourists and locals alike.
“The Shore’s marina and pier serves as a fantastic extension to The Shore’s commercial strip, which currently houses several shops and businesses,” says Olsen. “With the marina slated to launch this fall, The Shore is positioned to become a town hot spot for shopping, dining and recreational activities.”
The Shore’s marina looks out onto the Clayoquot Sound and Meares Island. The beach real estate property features 24 contemporary one-storey, two-storey, and loft-style condos. With nearly 80 per cent of the homes sold, The Shore is focusing its attention on marketing the commercial spaces being offered along Main Street.
“We currently have three happy and successful business owners in our commercial spots now and we don’t think it will be long before the other five spaces go to ambitious entrepreneurs who are looking to capitalize on this central location in one of Canada’s most popular outdoor recreation and tourists destinations,” says Olsen.
Construction began on The Shore's marina and pier in January 2010. The beautifully built and designed structure will offer limited numbers of slips for new condo buyers and the public to lease on a first come first serve basis. The slips will accommodate boats up to 30 feet.
Represented by Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, sales are through The Shore Presentation Centre, on an appointment basis. Telephone: 250-725-3606 (Toll Free: 1-866-9-THE-SHORE); www.theshoretofino.com
