RE: Sechelt Development - Trail Bay Estates
I have lived in Trail Bay Estates for over 4 years now, so I'll take a stab at responding to your question in your original post -
"the question ‘What makes a development such as this a success?’ lodged in the back of my mind. It is the mere selling of lots or is it the building of homes on those lots and establishing a thriving community?" I think the answer depends on "who" we are talking about. From the developer's point of view, initially selling most of the lots seems to be a short term win. In the longer term though, the reputation of the developer begins to get tarnished when the property does not become an active neighbourhood and becomes an eyesore. From the resident's point of view, success looks like a pleasant, safe, interesting and prosperous neighbourhood, with the prospect of retaining or increasing property value in the future. So, from either perspective, Trail Bay Estates presents "an opportunity for significant improvement". And this is what a majority of the current residents have concluded. Last night the developer (Clayton Family Lands, represented by Tom Christoff) held an information session for the proposed rezoning of land to support Trail Bay Estates Phase 2a, involving an addition of 11 new lots. The residents of the current Trail Bay Estates who attended expressed concern about the state of the current development, and Tom promised that improvements would be made. I have attached a few pictures from today. I hope to report a significant improvement in the look of the vacant lots in the coming months. I truly hope. We bought in Trail Bay Estates because of the beautiful view from our house, and the ease of walking to the village centre. We are glad we did buy, and have indeed enjoyed looking out at the goings on in the Straight, and walking frequently down to the village - e.g. last night's information session. There are signs of life on the Sechelt real estate market, and even one new house being built in Trail Bay Estates and another lot newly sold. . I am looking forward to living in a real neighbourhood sometime before I die. (Skook Note: My modification of this post was to tweak the picture alignment to fit better with the text - that’s all folks. Hope you don't mind, ddhawk) |
