The developer behind the project, Flatwater Cos., has been working on the project for years. They originally intended to build a whitewater recreation area, but switch to a surf park after they saw what BSR Surf Resort offered.
Beyond the wave pool, the plans include 150,000 square feet of retail and entertainment, 100,000 square feet of office space, a 170-key hotel, 750 apartments and a 13-acre wakeboard lake.
The developers hope to host 200 events per year at The Lake.
Construction is expected to start early this year and, if everything goes according to plan, the wave pool will be open to the public in the fall of 2021.
