The base was closed in 2006, and features a deep-water port between the mouth of the River Schlei and the Baltic Sea. Existing military structures are being torn down now.
The site is to feature a village with vacation homes with individual boat piers, hotels, restaurants, cafes and a golf course. Specifically, the project will have 7,000 guestrooms, including 1,500 waterfront hotel units, as well as a marina with heated boat storage. Port Olpenitz will be the largest resort in northern Europe, according to Prime officials in a statement. The officials did not return calls for comment.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for this year. "We are looking forward to the scheduled completion of the…vacation resort by year-end 2012," said Jaska Harm, managing director of the project, in the statement.
