North Myrtle Beach ~ Bahama Island project approved by city

Bahama Island Resort developers will move forward with plans to build more than 1,300 homes and retail shops on nearly 73 acres of land across the Intracoastal Waterway after City Council gave final approval Monday to annex and zone the property.

The 72.91 acres of land - located between Old Crane Road and the waterway - was the first of several properties expected to come before the city for annexation. Four of the six waterfront proposals are west of the waterway.

Bahama Island Resort will have 1,374 single-family and multifamily homes, an existing dry dock storage facility, and 55,579 square feet for office space and shops.

Property owners have agreed to dedicate 7.1 acres of land to be used as a public park, to have a four-lane, divided-median road with sidewalks on the east side of the street, and to have 2.1 acres of land fronting the waterway reserved for public use that will include a public boardwalk and observation deck.
