Project Summary

The development aims to address a significant need for housing and hotel accommodation in the community. 

    Location: Four properties at the corner of Rosedale Avenue and Julia Street (9514 & 9518 Julia St and 14406 & 14408 Rosedale Ave), located close to Highway 97 and Summerland's downtown core.

• Components:
  • A four-storey hotel with 51 rooms. The hotel is intended to support local tourism, wineries, events, and sports tournaments, which currently face barriers due to a lack of local accommodation.

• Status: The necessary zoning bylaw amendments were adopted by Summerland Council in July 2024, giving the project final approval to proceed.
