Cole Cannon
The vision for Cannon Beach came naturally for its developer, Cole Cannon. As a Arizona resident father of six small kids he sought to create the intersection of lifestyle and adrenaline; a place where people can challenge themselves, be their best version, and live completely. Cannon Beach represents a habitat for personal development for his kids and adult friends alike. Cole has developed several projects but for Cannon Beach he had to dig deep into his resources, most of all an incredible support team, to turn the vision into reality. “Live like you’ll die tomorrow and learn like you’ll live forever” is a mantra Cole has adopted and infused throughout Cannon Beach. Cole’s development resume, legal expertise, and most off all his willingness to push the limits gave birth to a project where indelible memories will be etched.
