July 27th, 2007 Demolition of former Marina Inn will make way for new resort/spa Dan MacLennan, Courier-Islander Published: Friday, July 27, 2007 The old Marine Inn is coming down today to make way for the Grand Coastal Resort & Spa development. Island Coastal Resorts Ltd, the company behind the 72-unit quarter-share hotel, announced Tuesday that the old building at 1430 South Island Highway was set to begin coming down at 10 a.m. today. "On hand will be local residents, Mayor Roger McDonell, members of council, community and business leaders," said a company release. "The demolition of the existing structures will be clearing the way for the much anticipated Grand Coastal Resort & Spa. "The Grand is sure to make history in Campbell River as the finest, first class resort development in Canada's hottest recreational & retirement area." The project marks a significant moment in Campbell River's recent development history. In May, City council approved Island Coastal Resort's application to rezone the 1.3-hectare (3.2-acre) property from Commercial Five (C-5) to Commercial Four (C-4) to make way for the luxury resort, but only after a renewed public debate over ocean view guidelines and bank stability. The debate saw the emergence of the new Campbell River Positive Growth lobby group, as well as a new level of information demands placed on developers by council. The old Marine Inn has been little more than a shell for several weeks now, after Island Coastal allowed the local Habitat For Humanities group to salvage whatever it could from the structures. Island Coastal said construction of the new facility is scheduled to begin this fall, with an anticipated completion date of spring 2009. Copyright Courier-Islander (Campbell River) 2007 D-Day for Marina Inn Campbell River Mirror Published: Friday, Jul 27 2007 After sitting vacant for years, the old Marina Inn is finally coming down. Demolition is set to begin today at 10 a.m. at 1430 South Island Highway and will be witnessed by locals, politicians, members of the business community and the media. The existing buildings will be demolished and the materials will go to Habitat for Humanity, a charity which builds new homes for needy families. The charity will sell the materials at its Re-Store, a used building supplies store. Once the old buildings are gone, the site will be cleared to make way for the Grand Coastal Resort and Spa, planned to be a first-class resort development. The resort, proposed earlier this year, was controversial because of the perceived impact it will have on the views of the residents on the ridge above the property. The resort's height will be slightly lower than the ridge. Construction of the new facility is scheduled to begin this fall, with an anticipated completion date of spring 2009.
