One72 Concretes Instagram story(as of May 1) has footage of a big pour so it appears the backfill is done? Not sure if they are going to drive piles through all the backfill and concrete unless they did that before they started filling, anybody know?

I guess as they get higher the floors will get smaller and construction will move faster?
Steady speed of 1 poor in 2 months. Level 7 on the south tower. Cladding in progress for levels 1-4.

The team at Aqua is making some awesome progress over the last couple of months. This is going to be a one a kind development for the Kelowna area.

My hope is that the project will continue, as it is an amazing opportunity to revive the downtown core of Kelowna. Watching for updates from the engineers, UBC has the money and opportunities to make it right.
I am surprised that the city is quiet on this and engineers are not providing any solutions after months of trouble. It's unclear how this will affect the future of high-rise developments in Kelowna, or if it will impact just that particular part of downtown.
I hope projects like Water By The Park succeed, so people don't blame all high-rises, but rather this instance, due to the large underground parkade.

This is very sad that it continue to cause problems, as I would like this project to succeed. There has been no updates on construction, which they promised, however it creates more problems and I start to worry they reconsider the whole thing.

C-Lovers is relocating to the Capri Mall as well.
True, good it's finally moving forward. As for the tenants, it was recently announced JYSK is returning to Kelowna to Orchard Plaza (instead of Rooms + Spaces).
Overall about building sizes, I am sad that a lot of those projects in Kelowna are just 6 storeys. Feels like it's going to be a problem for the city in 20 years, after it will run out of space.
