Situated in a hillside neighborhood close to the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus (UBCO), this project is poised to play a pivotal role in accommodating the anticipated growth in the area. Its alignment with the City’s 2040 Official Community Plan underscores a commitment to sustainable, community-oriented development.
Overview of The Views
Positioned in proximity to major transportation corridors, including the Harvey Avenue / Highway 97 corridor, "The Views" aims to reduce city-wide traffic congestion by providing medium-density residential rental housing primarily for the UBCO community and students.
The development's strategic location promises ease of access to downtown Kelowna via public transit, fostering a community where residents can live close to their workplaces or educational institutions.
The project site spans a 1.5-acre lot within a larger 40-acre parcel, bordered by the University South Village Centre, Carney Pond, and future transit centers, thus offering a unique blend of natural beauty and urban convenience.
The proposal for the Phase One includes two 5-storey wood frame buildings, offering a total of 100 one and two-bedroom rental units designed to foster an active lifestyle and community engagement through a shared outdoor amenity space known as "The Forest Clearing."
The design prioritizes minimal impact on the existing forest setting, integrating the development seamlessly into the natural landscape.
Energy efficiency and sustainable building practices are at the forefront, with considerations for building orientation, insulation, and the use of materials that blend with the surrounding environment. Underground parking and the thoughtful placement of buildings aim to preserve the natural beauty of the site, with the overarching goal of creating a living space that is in harmony with its forested backdrop.
