Seashore subdivision opens first phase

The new Seashore development just off Bruce Road 23 in Kincardine will offer 41 lots for single family homes in the first phase.

Local politicians joined a ribbon cutting ceremony and pre-open house tour on Thursday, June 13, 2024.

“The Municipality of Kincardine is delighted to welcome Mariposa Homes to our growing community, and we thank Beisel Contracting for their continued dedication to building quality homes here,” said Mayor Kenneth Craig. “This large subdivision has been a long time in the making. Our staff and Council are very enthusiastic to see this long-term vision come together so beautifully.”

Mariposa Homes and Beisel Contracting hosted the grand opening of the first phase of development on the 70-acre property, which is expected to be home to over 400 planned residential units, once development is complete.

“Seashore is a unique development and there is really nothing like it along the Lake Huron coastline,” said Angelo Orsi, developer, and president of Mariposa Homes. “We would like to pay tribute to past and current Council as well as staff for getting us to this point. We thank the neighbours and the entire community for their interest in this development. We welcome everyone to this new part of the neighbourhood.”

The development also features an open space and parkland area with winding trails. Future phases include additional lots for single family homes, townhomes, and medium-density buildings.

As part of the ribbon cutting event, the Orsi family shared plans of a future donation to the Kincardine Community Health Care Foundation fundraising campaign.

“Hospitals are a vital part of every community and as we build out this new community, we feel it’s important to contribute to important community project like the hospital expansion,” commented Orsi.
