Public Discussions about Kelowna Development Projects

Feb 22, 2024

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 With the arena being outdated I wonder if a different developer will try to propose a new modern arena as plans for the old mill site come to fruition.

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.

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.

I am wondering if this can be revived due to the ban on Airbnbs in Kelowna, as more hotel rooms would be in demand :)

Thank you for the update, Sheener!

Looks like the Water by the Park is growing nicely and is on level 8 now for the Eli tower.

The first reading moved the project forward.
"Next steps will see council give three readings to the rezonings before adopting the bylaw changes. Once that is done, the developer’s would have their development permit applications considered."

Feb 06, 2024

Slowly growing, getting ready for the level 6 pour on tower one, only one floor in 2 months.
Skywater tower seem to be stuck at podium level, Movala's website indicates that they are going to re-launch sales efforts this year. Maybe it is related to the crane use issues.

Ongoing facade work on the back of the building. On the front seems to be missing railings and the top floor cladding, but starting to look like the rendering.
