Economic Impact
Squamish Oceanfront will bring a number of significant economic stimulators to the region. Approximately 1,100 new homes will be introduced, answering a growing demand for housing opportunities in Squamish. A total of 387,000 square feet of commercial space—including a stunning new Marine Centre—will host a variety of businesses. A new Oceanfront Hotel of a unique, world-class calibre will target small group and leisure business looking for an authentic oceanfront experience.
A berth for cruise ships, the first in the region, will introduce an entirely new stream of tourist dollars to the community. The new university, light manufacturing elements, corporate campuses, and stimulating cultural centres will draw an inspired, creative workforce to the community. And the entire plan will be drawn together by parks, oceanside walks, and an intelligent plan that ensures true long-term viability.
