Allegiant Travel Company announced a plan to build the Sunseeker Resort, a 20-acre resort just outside of Port Charlotte. It will sit close to The Peace River and Charlotte Harbor, just west of US-41.

The company said the master plan includes:

• Nine condominium towers
• More than 10 original restaurants and bars
• Full-service grocery store and pharmacy
• Private family medical care facility
• Private marina
• Workout facilities
• Property-spanning resort poll designed to be largest in North America

The company expects the project to bring hundreds of construction jobs and 500 permanent jobs. The hope is the resort brings an increase of 300,000 visitors annually.

“This project builds on Allegiant’s profile as a leader and innovator in leisure travel,” said Allegiant President John Redmond. “Our growth and success with air service in Punta Gora and this unique, waterfront property all point to an exceptional opportunity for a resort that vacation home owners and hotel visitors will love.”
