Developer and local resident Chad Olafson is dramatically expanding the recreational and hospitality amenities at The Narrows portion of Lake Manitoba in Canada to enhance his cottage development community.
In addition to purchasing the existing Lake Manitoba Narrows Lodge Resort and Conference Centre, Olafson is currently building a golf course and planning construction of another 200-room hotel, spa and water park.
The Northwind Narrows Golf and Country Club course is being designed by David Grant, a PGA golf course designer based in Winnipeg. The course is expected to be open by 2010.
Olafson has something of a built-in customer base. He offered 365 cottage lots for sale in The Narrows area last year, and most have been sold, with more to come.
