Plans for a marina building on the Morgan’s Point site have been submitted to the Department of Planning.

The plans, submitted on October 11 and revised on October 18, propose a building on the south side of the “neck” of the site.

An included letter by Julia Van Beelen, of architectural firm Cooper Gardner, stated: “As a premier resort and residential destination, the Morgan’s Point Development includes planning and permit approvals for a marina, scheduled to open for the America’s Cup in June 2017.

“After considering various options for support facilities to this offering, our client is seeking approval for a marina building with an outdoor terrace.”

The new building would include a covered entrance, a waiting area, an office, bathrooms and storage areas, along with an upper terrace.

Work on a hotel development, to be called Caroline Bay, Bermuda, has already begun on Morgan’s Point just to the west of the proposed marina site.

The project, which will include a branded hotel and luxury residences, is expected to open in 2018. However, the developer has expressed hope that the first batch of 35 villas would be ready with the marina in time for the America’s Cup next summer.

Plans for the marina building area available for public viewing at the Department of Planning office.
