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 With the arena being outdated I wonder if a different developer will try to propose a new modern arena as plans for the old mill site come to fruition.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

Jim Kelowna about Downtown Hotel
Community Voice, Feb 11, 2024
I am wondering if this can be revived due to the ban on Airbnbs in Kelowna, as more hotel rooms would be in demand :)

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