Investing in Hemlock

In 2006, Berezan Group invested $10 million into upgrading the existing infrastructure for 217 private homeowners. And when the 1.5-billion dollar five-phase expansion master plan was approved November 12, 2015, Hemlock Valley Resort's future changed dramatically.

The plan called for an increase to the controlled recreation area to more than 6,000 hectares, from 350 hectares. The number of lifts is to be increased to 27, from the current 4. Development plans over the next twenty years also include a lakefront First Nations-themed residential village and small marina. This will add more 4-season recreation activities such as hiking, mountain biking and ATVing.

Phase 1 of the expansion is expected to create the equivalent of 1,153 full-time jobs. That workforce is going to need a place to live, and the master plan calls for a significant increase in residences. It's a great time to invest in Hemlock Valley, and prices today are still very attractive.
