TREPANIER MANOR ANNOUNCES NEW EVENT & ENTERTAINMENT PIER FOR PEACHLAND

Peachland, B.C., July 14th, 2009 — Scott Wilshaw, managing director for Peachland’s Trepanier Manor Hotel and Luxury Homes development, unveiled a proposal today for a Peachland Event and Entertainment Pier located on the Peachland lakefront. Trepanier Manor proposes to partner with the District of Peachland Council to construct this year-round waterfront event & performance centre, enabling Peachland to host local and international performances. Bringing new meaning to “Peachland on the Water,” the centerpiece stage will have boat moorage and the potential for a new Peachland Club and Wine Bar. The $2.9M proposal could have an annual economic impact of $2.5M and is planned to be completed in 2011.

“A key factor for the project is that it reflects variety, vitality and vibrancy that both local residents and visitors to Peachland can all enjoy and be part of. The vision that the team and I are working from is that the project must offer a sound development strategy, have a quality design that will optimize this stunning waterfront location while retaining Peachland’s quaint intimacy and very important for us all is it develops a local signature landmark” said Wilshaw.


Proposed features of the entertainment pier include:

• An on the water performance centre built to accommodate a symphony orchestra or a theatre production with its “Symphony and Song” Program

• A collaboration is already being discussed with the Okanagan Symphony to ensure the best technical venue and the finest presentation series.

• Moorage for 96 boats with day, overnight, short-term and long-term slips, accompanied by needed facilities for an island charters, a pump-out station and positioning for emergency craft.

• Tiered amphitheatre seating along the shore adjacent to downtown Peachland’s boardwalk, where guests can watch planned plays, productions and musical events

• “Green, clean and Leeds” development and operation, including a commitment to promoting eco technology and electric boating.

• A year-round club house with dining facilities and a wine bar featuring Okanagan products, cooking school and interpretative promenade and/or walk of fame.

• A new annual marquee event for the pier and downtown to reflect Peachland’s identity, vibrancy and vitality.

• B.C.’s first Welcome Centre on the water with an accompanying hospitality deck.

“This is the very first strategic response to the findings of the Recreational Marine Facilities Study conducted in 2008 by the Regional District of Central Okanagan. The need for community and destination venues on the Lake will be a model that others will emulate. It sets a new high standard with valued benefits.” Bob Sugden – Researcher and writer of “Ripple Effect”.

When asked to comment about the Symphony and Song Program planned Caroline Miller, General Manager of the Okanagan Symphony commented “Great music, long, warm summer afternoons and evenings, and professional-level classical and pops concerts: what could be better for residents and visitors?”

We will be thrilled,” says Music Director and Conductor Rosemary Thomson, “to be part of this exciting initiative to bring live performances, and opportunities for boating enthusiasts and the community at the Peachland waterfront. We’d love to assist the municipal and planning groups in developing the best sound and stage layout possible. We love being part of the larger Okanagan family.”

Managing Director Wilshaw added “This is another local project for the local community and for the past year has been planned by a team of wonderful locals who believe in the long term growth of this superb community that we are all part of. We all firmly believe that the economic impact will be high and the project will be an asset to the downtown of Peachland.”

The project captures the recommendations of the Community Official Plan and the visioning proposals from concepts initiated in the last 10 years. Trepanier Manor will build the pier as it evolves from community interaction in concert with approvals from the district and provincial-federal land/ water management regulations. Citizens, boaters and business will also have an opportunity to work with an advisory team to fine tune the proposal to best serve historic Peachland.

Trepanier Manor Builds on Tradition

Moving to the next stage of construction, the Okanagan’s only privately owned luxury hotel plus detached homes will offer old-world standards and charm.

Aficionados of the English country lifestyle can rejoice. Construction at Trepanier Manor, the Okanagan’s only privately owned five-star luxury hotel and 20 detached cottage-style houses, continues apace above the charming town of Peachland, B.C.

“As of last week, all the lots were graded, with boundary stakes and information signs showing exact sizes and positions,” says Scott Wilshaw, managing partner of Manor Developments. “Once servicing is completed, construction of the homes and hotel can begin.”

The 25-acre forested site is on Tabletop Mountain, overlooking Lake Okanagan. The 44-suite luxury hotel has been patterned after a gracious, comfortable European manor house and will be the only private residence club in Western Canada where members enjoy exclusive use of their own home that is not inside a hotel, and can enjoy some 30 privileges ranging from corporate golf membership and preferred rates at local ski resorts to private wine storage and daily concierge service. Historic Peachland, celebrating its centennial in 2009, offers 11 kilometres of lakefront beaches, farmers' market, boutique shopping and restaurants.

Designed by Vancouver architect John Sproule, Trepanier Manor will feature a gate house with a wine interpretive centre and antique shop, tennis court, lawn for bocce, croquet and other garden games, spa, swimming pools, restaurants, cooking classes, wine tastings, games room and library.

Lot sizes range from 3,727 to 7,309 sq ft; home sizes from 1,515 to 2,840 square feet and prices from $875,000 to $1.2 million. Home plans can be customized, and optional features include a detached guest cottage, luxury garage, secret grotto garden, furniture package, outdoor kitchen/lounge, deluxe sound package, and outdoor shower. With 10 homes sold, only ten remain for sale.
