Maria Peters of Leap Marketing in Vancouver has joined the Shore development’s team for the final release of units for this unique project.
Located at the “centre of town, edge of the world,” the Shore building is a mixed commercial and residential project on Tofino’s waterfront, looking out into the wilderness of Clayoquot Sound.
Peters is overseeing the final release of five residential and five commercial units, including the restaurant space located on the foreshore dock.
She is stationed at the Shore’s sales centre, located on the street level of the development at 368 Main St in Tofino.
Peters said she is thrilled to be in Tofino and involved with the Shore: “My partner Christa Frosch (of Sotheby’s Vancouver) and I are both involved and committed to the project.”
Her focus is to showcase the last few remaining units from the sales centre.
Currently, only five residential units remain – two one-bedroom waterfront units and three penthouse suites.
The waterfront harbourview units are priced from $525,500, while the penthouse suites range from $1,345,000 to $1,389,900.
In terms of commercial availability, there are four units fronting Main St. still available for purchase. Current tenants include Ocean Outfitters, Covet Boutique, and Westland Insurance. These units, which front Main St., range from $458,000 to $459,500 (1,032 to 1,061 square feet).
Maria has been in the Tofino office since early July, and has met a varied mix of people coming through the doors.
“Traffic in the office has been an international mix, with people from Hong Kong, Texas, Vancouver, and the UK,” she said.
“Tofino is international in the summer, and these visitors are finding the Shore.”
The owners of the Shore are also currently looking for a tenant for their dockside restaurant. This space is located on the foreshore in front of the building, and construction should be completed by the fall of 2011.
A marina is also under construction, and will be located next to the restaurant. Moorage is available first to residents, then to the public.
It’s not surprising that visitors are naturally drawn to Tofino’s waterfront; it’s a hub of activity, as well as a viewpoint for a glimpse of the beauty of the surrounding rainforests. Watch float planes taking off, wildlife and fishing boats and kayakers passing by.
Main St. is Tofino’s historic hub as well. In fact, the public walkway dedication that the owners of the Shore are providing in front of the building is reminiscent of a wooden boardwalk that once ran the length of the village of Tofino’s waterfront. In those days, the streamer from Victoria was the only contact with the larger world.
Today, as Maria noted, the world comes to Tofino.
