Caban is on track for this year completion. I personally like this project a lot, fits into the neighbourhood very well, waiting to see that front waterfall.

Sidewalk is open now, final stage of the construction. The block looks great, and one of the first tenants for retails is Kenton Ramen, woohoo.

Thanks for the update! When did you catch a sunny weather? It's been a gloomy week, I am still waiting for that summer to come to Kelowna :)

Water by the Park is growing very fast. Eli is at level 23 now at glass is fitted up to level 17, more than half way up! It's easily visible from all around the valley now. Meanwhile Tower One is at 20/26.

Crane was up again before the bad news. Great massive background of what this block of Kelowna will become.
Jack B |construction update at UBCO Downtown
May 29, 2024
There has been no update for a long time. So I decided to travel and take some pictures yesterday.
I was suprised to see a lot of action! Firstly, the main UBCO site is getting piling done in fully dry concrete underdround parkade. Secondly, interesting enough, they demolished the School District 23 building and crew is actively working on cleaning the site. So I will speculate, maybe they are preparing that site for the extra parking they need after shortening the underground parkade?

Wasn't a developer's or the city's fault :(
Basicaly to have windows facing the neighbouring property you need to have a "no-build" agreement, which wasn't reached with them.

Jim Kelowna about 1064-1084 Glenmore Drive
May 28, 2024
Wow what, so weird. I don't see what is so different about this proposal compared wit other approved housing, especially as we need more rentals. It is for sure a "rare decision".
This was rejected by council for being "too dense" despite a desire to increase density along the Glenmore Transit Corridor.

Progressing towards the end of construction. Nice location and the clean park in front of it.

Kelowna is behind, but I mean, any cities that are not? Interest rates are killing it, housing is not being built and Airbnb rules aren't helping, so investors are out also. It is not profitable to build towers without investors, so we are back to 6-storey rentals only.
