STOCK ISLAND MARINA KEY WEST, FLORIDA, USA Ortega Landing changes hands WORLD NEWS USA: Port 32 Marinas has purchased The Marina at Ortega Landing in Jacksonville, Florida. Comprising 192 wet slips for boats of 30 to 130 feet (9 to 40m) in a protected cove, the marina will be renamed Port 32 Jacksonville. Consistent with the company’s strategy of acquiring the highest quality marinas in core coastal markets, the marina has a desirable location and a best-in-class Bellingham concrete floating dock system. It boasts numerous amenities for tenants including a professionally designed captain’s clubhouse, pool and hot tub, outdoor grilling patio and secure docks. It hosts a variety of weekend events. Following this acquisition and the completion of redevelopments in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach Gardens, Port 32 will own and operate approximately 4,300 dry and wet slips and over 3.2 acres (1.3ha) of commercial tenant space. Port 32 CEO, Joe H Miller IV, stated: “The Marina at Ortega Landing is an extremely well built and fully occupied wet slip marina in a core Florida market. Ortega fits well into our portfolio of Class A marina assets. We believe we are buying the best wet slip marina in the Jacksonville market, both from a physical plant and amenity standpoint. The marina has a very loyal and discerning customer base which creates a unique and welcoming community environment. We embrace this lifestyle culture and intend to preserve that legacy.” Fast Track process for first Maori marina NEW ZEALAND: Te Rahui, a proposed boat harbour at Whakatane in the North Island, has been awarded the opportunity to use the Fast Track resource consenting process offered under the New Zealand Government’s COVID-19 Recovery Act 2020. Project director, Phil Wardale, explains that the process enables a more streamlined consent process, designed to support the country’s recovery from the economic and social impacts of the pandemic. “We have been fortunate and privileged to secure approval to utilise the Fast Track consenting pathway for such a transformational project,” he said. “We are only the twentieth project in New Zealand to receive this, and the first in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.” “It gives the boat harbour, which has been carefully designed with the needs of the environment and the community in mind, certainty of timing through the consenting process and enables it to get underway within a given timeline,” he explained. “Subject to receipt of consents, we could be underway with construction soon after the middle of the year (2022), with construction expected to take approximately two years.” Te Rahui Herenga Waka will be the first Maori-owned marina and is planned in two phases. Stage one will include 60 berths for commercial vessels, such as fishing, aquaculture and commercial charter. Stage two will add berths for recreational users, a public boat ramp and further commercial premises. 397 PROJECTS BUILT IN THE US IN 2021 A SAMPLE OF THE PROJECTS • ANACORTES MARINA • CHATFIELD MARINA • NEWPORT MARINA • OCEAN REEF CLUB • OCEANSIDE MARINA • PORTLAND YACHT CLUB • SAFE HARBOR VENTURA ISLE • STOCK ISLAND MARINA VILLAGE • THE WHARF MARINA • TOWN OF PALM BEACH MARINA SCAN THE QR CODE TO CLAIM YOUR FREE 2022 CALENDAR.
