Some finally good news,
A major developer just bought downtown Kelowna's prime waterfront property — right across from City Park.
Calgary's Arlington Street Group bought four parcels at Abbott Street and Leon Avenue, totaling almost 0.75 acres. It sits directly across from The Eli — the 42-storey tower that's currently the tallest building in BC's Interior.
The Huber family behind Prestige Hotels sold the land, though they kept the Prestige Beach House hotel next door.
The purchase price wasn't disclosed, but the assembly was listed for almost $16 million in 2023. This year's assessment came in at $11.1 million, with the existing office building accounting for just $100,000 of that total.
So what's going up on this corner? Arlington hasn't shared any plans yet, but they've already posted a sign on the building reading, "Envision what ought to be there."
They plan to run community planning workshops to help shape their proposal before submitting official plans to the city.

Tom Dyas has been re-elected as Mayor of the city of Kelowna. Hopefully this guarantees our downtown hotel by the end of the decade.

2nd floor going up. Felt like 1st floor took 1 1/2 weeks to frame.

If I am counting correctly, they are at level 9 based on your picture. Also, they mentioned they are planning to launch the education part of the building earlier than the residential part. Wondering what that will look like for continuous construction.
UBCO downtown still at floor 8. If we don’t see 1 floor per week starting late October, we may not see the targeted completion of late 2027.

Crane should be raised soon. Two more floors to pour for future campus expansion and then they’ll be on the residential floors

does anyone know if construction will start before the Nov 26, 2026 deadline, or will it have to go to council for re-approval?
