Welcome to The Sands
A multi million
pound stunning development of 55 acres set within spectacular
scenery at North Bay, Scarborough.
On 19 February 2007 the demolition of The Corner café
began in earnest and signalled the official start of The Sands
development.
The first phase which included the construction of 100
apartments, replacement chalets and the construction of a new Beach
Management Centre including a first aid station, lifeguard lookout
post, toilets and showers is now complete.
The Beach
Management Centre was completed on 28 February 2008 and was
officially opened on 12 March by the Mayor of the Borough of
Scarborough Cllr Janet Jefferson. The new apartments were
handed over in mid November with residents moving in soon
after.
At the time of demolition the Leader of the Council,
Cllr. Tom Fox said:
"I am absolutely delighted that this prestigious development
is now well and truly underway. It signals the start of an exciting
future for Scarborough’s North Bay, one that will bring major
lifestyle benefits to residents and visitors and have a massive
impact on the area’s tourism economy. Although a privately funded
project, it does sit extremely well alongside the many other
regeneration initiatives taking place within the Borough and will
undoubtedly help to put Scarborough well and truly on the
map."
The second phase of the impressive Sands development saw
the restoration of the Open Air Theatre, which is now fully
operational. While experienced property developer Roland
Duce will take forward the development of a waterpark as
a priority part of the third phase of the area's
redevelopment.
