1355 St Paul is a skyscraper rental development proposed by Mission Group. This project is 40 storeys tall, located at 1355 St Paul, Kelowna, BC. 1355 St Paul will have a total of 384 units.
The application was submitted on Feb 05, 2024, with the full PDF available here .
The development is located on the historic Daily Courier site at the intersection of Doyle Avenue and St. Paul Street, north of the UBCO Downtown development, marking a pivotal redevelopment on the north side of downtown Kelowna. The previous proposal for the site was designed to include a 16-story office space. However, the vision has since evolved in response to market demands and community needs, with the Mission Group opting for a purely residential tower.
The Vision
Initially, the plan was to have a mix of rentals and condo units, however, probably due to the slow market, in June 2024, it was changed to have 384 rental units only.
Standing at 117 meters, the new tower will be the 4th tallest building in Kelowna, following the under-construction UBCO tower, the Eli tower from the Water by the Park development, and the existing One Water Street East tower in the north end. This significant height contributes to Kelowna's evolving skyline and reflects the city's growth and modernization.
Amenities
The ground floor of the tower is meticulously designed to enhance the urban living experience, featuring five commercial units totaling 837.4 m² (9,014.1 SF) and a co-working space that opens onto St. Paul Street. Residents will enjoy access to a variety of shared amenities, including a fitness center, entertainment center, lounge, and other communal spaces, all conveniently located on the fifth and 40th floors. A four-story, above-ground parkade, offering 323 parking stalls, addresses the practical needs of the community. Additionally, bike storage will be available, further catering to the residents' convenience.
Location and Community
The development's downtown location places it at the heart of Kelowna's urban transformation, adjacent to educational institution, commercial center, and recreational spaces. This strategic positioning is crucial for integrating the new tower into the fabric of the city, enhancing connectivity and accessibility.
With its strategic location, comprehensive amenities, and a mix of residential options, the project is poised to become a cornerstone of downtown Kelowna's transformation.

Was it? On the application it says garden is at level 5, and units are 5-39. So 4 levels of podium? Maybe I am reading it wrong.
Happy Canada Day everyone!
The podium was lowered from 4 stories to 3

I don't like that podium, very industrial-looking from the drawings, maybe better in real life. It looks like the amount of units dropped, but podium is the same size.
Maybe if the first floor (retail) had higher ceilings, massing would not stand out as much. I feel like it helps in Water by the Park case.

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.

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.
