Sunray Development Lot is For Sale
June 2026
Sunray Development at 8859 Beachwood Rd/Robert St, approved by our Town Council in Nov 2025 is now listed for Sale.
The 30-acre parcel of land is a proposed/approved draft development for 474 units (36 semi-detached homes, 314 townhouses and 124 mixed-use units in two six-storey buildings).
Part of this development was originaly designed as Natural Heritage Category 1 and 2 with Wetlands in the Official Plan, but wetlands will be filled and paved.
The property is now listed for sale on reaaltor.ca for $17.250 million, with a profit estimated at around $12M which means Sunray never really planned to build but just to get a draft plan approval and sell to make a quick profit, common developer sheme.
Notice of Approval of Sunray Development
January 2026
On Nov 27 Wasaga Beach Council approved the Sunray Development at 8859 Beachwood Road & Robert Street, amendments to Official Plan, Zoning Bylaw and site plan, on the same day the new Opfficial Plan and West End Secondary Plan was approved.
The subdivisiion is packed with exceptions for a total of 474 units, two 6 story buildings along Beachwood Road (124 condos units), 314 townhouses and 36 semi-detached houses and 472 sqm of commercial.
The Natural Heritage Features category 1 & 2 have been removed from this lot (30% of the surface of the lot) and that the wetlands will be paved.
We noted that this application was expedited in 12 months and that Sunray is the same company offering to build a Marriott Hotel at Wasaga Beach Area 1. Now the future will say if Sunray will develop and build or just resale the land with the approved development at a much higher price than the initial lot purchase.
