Beachlands strikes me like a name for trailer trash somewhere in South Carolina.

Royal Bay is a much nicer name. Only been to that beach once, not much protection from the elements, lots of dusty air, didn't enjoy it at all. Oh well, I don't live there so it doesn't affect me! My nephew takes his three kids to Esquimalt Lagoon all the time during the summer as it's close and they enjoy the food trucks. Not sure he's willing to drive the extra distance.

Could there be an issue with using the word Royal?

In the woke vernacular, "royal" is a 4-letter word.

I figure the word Royal is part of it. Personally I don’t care one bit what they call it. Will still go once or twice a year because it’s a nice spot.

Is it going to take 3 decades to build out, like Dockside Green?

Or 50 years, like the Roundhouse?

Royal Bay has progressed exceptionally quickly for the south Island. Construction started around 8 years ago and they are now finishing the north half of the lands, as the south half is going full tilt. I can imagine full buildout there by 2040.
