The City of Barrie is currently selling a prestigious 4.1 acre waterfront property in Barrie’s City Centre. This fully serviced site is conveniently located in the heart of the City and adjacent to the NEW Allandale Waterfront GO Station. Within walking distance to waterfront parks, trails and beaches, the marina and downtown Barrie, this prominent site provides excellent vehicular, transit and pedestrian access, and is ideal for a high-end mixed-use commercial development.
The City is currently accepting submissions for the purchase and development of this site.
Barrie’s City Centre is on the cusp of transformation and revitalization with numerous development projects recently completed, underway or in the planning stages, making this rare piece of waterfront property a supreme location for successful future development. With the completion of Barrie’s second Go Train Station in late 2011 and current restoration of the Historic Allandale Train Station only steps from this location, the already busy pedestrian traffic is sure to increase. Kempenfelt Bay’s beautiful waterfront parks with plans for even further improved public use areas and beautification surround the property, including beaches, marina and boat launch, and a boardwalk extending to waterfront trails. The City also recently realigned Lakeshore Drive making vehicular access to the property easy and convenient.
Identified as an intensification and future growth area, the City Centre’s luxury condo towers extend around Kempenfelt Bay, including Nautica’s recently completed towers, a new tower currently under construction, and additional future condo and mixed-use projects in the planning stages. In addition to the City Centre’s growing residential population, thousands of people visit the waterfront area each year for recreation and leisure or to attend one of the events taking place year round.
