Public Discussions about Kelowna Development Projects
Jim Kelowna about UBCO Downtown

That's sad, I am wondering how deep they have dug so far, in terms of full levels for parking, 3 out of 4? Looks pretty deep.
On another note, the new rendering of the tower is very confusing, what is happening on the ground level? Does anyone know? Was nicer to see grand open facades with public spaces on the previous renderings.
Construction has been paused briefly as recommended from engineers due to problems with the surrounding buildings. UBC is making changes, estimated opening of the building in is still the same (Fall 2027).

The rezoning application will be decided on Monday, Mar 4 by the council. City staff supports the project, so there should be no problem to move this forward.

Application officially withdrawn now, due to no support from the city staff, KelownaNow reports. The city expects a new proposal will be submitted for a different project for the site, but no estimated date has been provided by GSL.
So as of right now, the project is cancelled, unfortunately. Waiting for the new submission.

Thanks Jack. My apologies if I came across harshly. You can't always trust what castanet reports, unfortunately.
Previous articles on Castanet (from the original 2022 proposal) said it was a "partnership" and the projects were designed together. But I see what you mean, I removed the word partnership, mention of the UBCO from the project's name, and corrected the article. Thank you for the feedback.

This post is misleading. Mission Group is developing this site independently of UBC, there is no affiliation between the two. The property was subdivided in 2022 into 2 lots - severing the two projects and developers from one another.

I don't think they "own" the land, as they rent it until 2029 with the arena, so I am confused too on what is next. As staff already pushing for another operator for the arena after 2029.
Was posted today on Castanet, that the city is against the proposal due to public parking concerns, I am watching closely :)
I didn’t realize GSL owned all the land! It definitely will be interesting. With the arena being outdated I wonder if a different developer will try to propose a new modern arena as plans for the old mill site come to fruition.

The proposed new vision for Mission Group's segment of the UBCO downtown district project includes 40-story towers that would become the tallest in the 'currently proposed' list and the third tallest in Kelowna, if built.

Corrected, thank you!
And welcome to the community, we are glad to see you :)
The address for this building is 1708 Dolphin Ave, not 1729.
