The development that will bring a 92-room Marriott Courtyard Hotel to the Parry Sound waterfront is moving forward.
On March 31, the town announced the building permit for the seven-storey building had been issued. It will include a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and gym, along with event space for up to 120 people.
“The plans for the re-development of the former Shell property represent an exciting new chapter in the Town’s waterfront,” says Mayor Jamie McGarvey. “The hotel is the first phase of a multi-phase development and represents a significant investment that will attract visitors year-round and increase economic activity in the area.”
The hotel is the first phase of a larger development, which is expected to include a boardwalk, restaurant, marina, and apartments and townhouses.
In January, the town successfully secured a $13 million grant to help fund a new $18 million wastewater pump station, which will service the southern portion of the harbour.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the hotel will take place later this spring
