Project: Residences of Lora Bay
(Thornbury, Ontario)
Client: Heathwood Homes
BMA was retained to evaluate the overall master plan for the Lora Bay community relative to the initial phase of development by Heathwood Homes. The master plan was modified relative to a wider variety of product type from coach homes to smaller and larger detached lots including the relationship with the golf course and existing Georgian Trail (former rail line) which serves as walking and bike trail. The plan proceeded with private condominium roads and unique engineering standards.
The community was well received by the marketplace.

(Muskoka District, Ontario)
Client: ClubLink Corporation
BMA worked with the overall ClubLink team to develop this flagship golf resort destination on the former Elgin House resort property at the confluence of Lake Joseph and Lake Rosseau in the heart of the Muskoka resort district.
The renewed resort consisted of a championship 18-hole course, a 9-hole academy course (both designed by Tom McBroom), golf clubhouse, a waterfront restaurant complete with a significant dock facility, 24 luxurious golf villas and related support infrastructure on a 421 acre (170 ha) property.

King Valley Golf Club is located on Dufferin Street, just west of Aurora, in King Township. An application was submitted for 80 homes adjacent to the 10th hole and practice facility at the golf course on the 150 acre site.
