[NOTE: This construction status report was last updated February 2023. Check the Marina posts for the latest updates.]
Construction of the Loch Lomond Marina project was intended to proceed in major phases. The first phase began in August 2013 and the final completion of the project was expected to be in mid-2017. Due to a variety of delays, the project remains ongoing as of early 2023. Status updates will be posted on the Loch Lomond Marina News page as they become available.
This is a rendering of the final form of The Village at Loch Lomond Marina with all construction completed (click on image for a larger version). The current status remains short of this objective.
As of February 2023 several structures are yet to be built. That includes several of the residential buildings within The Strand as well as the multi-use Commercial Building, the so-called Harbormaster’s Office building and the Marina Utility Building (aka Boat Repair Facility).
None of the residences in the dark area marked “Residential Phase 3” have been completed but construction by Trumark Homes is near completion In addition, some of the townhomes in the eastern portion of “Residential Phase 2” are also near completion. Trumark Homes has suspended construction of the two remaining townhome buildings and a couple of the standalone residences until the market improves.
In addition, there remains final work to be done on the connector to the Breakwater (the Breakwater Access Trail or BAT) and on the east jetty containing the playground to resolve recurrent flooding problems. This remediation project by MVA is required under the amended BCDC Permit and also includes the construction of a kayak launch ramp at the parking lot end of the BAT. This construction work is expected to completed by spring 2023. During construction, these areas are closed to the public. A kayak has been installation between the current boat launch ramp and the yacht club building and is open for public use.
In summary, the work remaining to be done as of February 2023 to complete the Village at Loch Lomond Marina as planned and permitted includes:
- Finalizing changes to the BAT between the east parking lot and the breakwater to resolve the frequent flooding is planned. These changes will include a raised walkway to allow tidal action under the walkway.
- A kayak launch ramp at the north end of this connector between the east parking lot and the BAT.
- Changes to the east jetty/playground that will include a raised berm to block rising tides from flooding the playground.

[NOTE: A more complete description of the work to be done regarding the above three bullet points can be found here]
___________________________ - The Yacht Club building is to receive a “face lift” to match the new construction surrounding it.
- A new “Harbormaster’s Office” building containing live-aboard boat owners’ restroom/shower facilities and commercial space will be built adjacent to the Yacht Club building and the public plaza. While the actual Harbormaster’s Office has been shifted to the to-be-built Marina Services Building, the name of this building has not been changed for now. This building construction is on indefinite hold by SHM pending economic changes.
- A Marina Services Building to replace the previous boat repair facility is to be constructed at the west side of the development. It will house the Harbormaster’s Office and marina storage. There will be restroom facilities for the marina staff. They will not be available to the general public. This building construction is on indefinite hold by SHM pending economic changes.
- Commercial/residential building is to be built at the western corner of Loch Lomond Drive and Pt. San Pedro Road — commercial on the first floor and 5 residential condominiums on the second floor. This property is now owned by Andy Bachich who has not identified what changes to the original plans he intends to make.
- Construction of the remaining new townhomes and stand-alone residences is to be built in The Strand residential area.
- A walking path is to be installed on the east side of the development between the residences and the wetlands extending from Pt. San Pedro Road to the marina.
- A Fuel Storage Facility and Fuel Dock is planned be constructed at some point depending on SHM’s determination of financial feasibility.
