The marina will be the first of its kind in North America and will be able to house of to 50 superyachts matched with full-service amenities for the marina including a clubhouse, on-site customs, etc. The project will also feature 221,000 SF of retail and green spaces throughout the property. Mehmet Bayraktar won the rights to build the development after working with the city for 14 years. Flagstone plans to start building this fall.
