Awesome news Town of Wasaga Beach
- Last week, Council unanimously approved the terms of a purchase and sale agreement with the award-winning Sunray Group for a portion of Town-owned land near the main tourism area at Beach Area 1. Here are key terms of the deal that Council has approved:
⚡Sunray will pay the town $580,000 for the 1.5 acre parcel of land where the hotel will be built.
⚡Sunray will invest over $45 million in Wasaga Beach to build a premium-brand hotel and amenities, and create approximately 100 good paying jobs
⚡Sunray will pay full development charges.
⚡Sunray will also invest $1.5 million to design and build a “Festival Square” near the beachfront, which will be used by the municipality for outdoor entertainment and special events.
The hotel is phase one of a four-phase development. It is proposed to include the following year-round elements:
✅ a high-quality restaurant
✅ convention facilities
✅ fitness, spa or pool area
✅ commercial shops
✅ wedding facilities
“Council continues moving forward with our plan to make life better for our full-time residents: Sunray’s proposed, over $45 million investment in Wasaga Beach will result in over 100 good-paying jobs. It will enable higher-value tourism and multi-day visits to our community, which will support our small businesses. It also represents a growing commercial tax base, which takes pressure off of our home-owners,” said Mayor Brian Smith.
“We are excited to partner with Sunray, as we continue to redevelop our beachfront commercial area and unlock our community's full potential to become a thriving, year-round destination.”
