The Tallest Buildings in Kelowna, BC

Kelowna is a city in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. The city serves as the head office of the Regional District of the Central Okanagan. The name Kelowna derives from an Okanagan language term for "grizzly bear". Kelowna is the third largest metropolitan area in the province and ranks as the 19th largest in Canada, with a population of 235,473 in 2022. Nearby communities include the City of West Kelowna (also referred to as Westbank and Westside) to the west, Lake Country and Vernon to the north, as well as Peachland to the southwest and, further to the south, Summerland and Penticton.

As of August 2025 Kelowna has 14 completed buildings higher than 49m. tall, 2 of them are commercial buildings and the rest are residensial. However, with the rapid construction, the city will look very different in the near future, with 5 high-rise buildings under construction.
