It's been years in the planning, and now Victoria International Marina, Canada's firstĀ purpose-built luxury yacht marina is set to open this summer.
Construction began last September on the $24 Million project with 28 slips built to accommodate super yachts and two anchor commercial buildings.
The marina is developed and owned by Community Marine Concepts.
Critics have raised concerns about the size, location, and impact on safety in the busy harbour. The marina design has changed several times to address concerns and comply with regulations,
Amenities at the marina are expected to include a coffee shop and restaurant, which will be open to the public.
