Kelowna Construction
A large chunk of land that is prime for redevelopment in Kelowna's downtown is currently occupied by Tolko Industries. Speculation has it that they won't be around after their lease on their land expires in a few years.
This would be an excellent blank slate for urban renewal in Kelowna. http://www.tolkomustgo.com |
global news reported today that kelowna is the second most expensive city in canada after vancouver - is that real?
|
hmmm...did we surpass Victoria in 6 months??? Unreal... Yes, it is that bad. Or good if you own already...
|
they showed some couple who had to buy a house in rutland and they weren't happy but that was all they could afford
|
Its been awhile since we have been informed about the Kelowna and Okanogan construction. Probably since last August when Mackeast went east, and wisla jerkoff (? Smirnoff or whatever) quit posting here. Any news on Kelowna construction would be most welcome!
|
OMG.. first surrey has its own sticky now kelowna does too?! i think we're being too generous!

I found what I was talking about over at Skyscrapercity.com. They have a pretty busy Kelowna thread over there.
Anyway, the national media was saying Kelowna was the 2nd most expensive market back in November, 2006, but there was something amiss about their ranking because (as usual) Victoria was left out. They were saying #1 was Vancouver, #2 was Kelowna, #3 was Toronto, #4 was Calgary... At the time, the average price for a SFH in Victoria was about $100,000 higher than it was in Kelowna. |
I take it back, the omission of Victoria was an error by the Kelowna forumers themselves. Here's the actual news item:

Victoria's real estate board says the average price for a SFH in February, 2007 was $534,101. Is Kelowna really higher than this now? That's quite a jump since November, if true.
|
No - I doubt it is higher yet. I would say Vic is still higher...with K not far behind...
|
i thought the average house price in vacnouver was now $625,000 or so

A couple of interesting Kelowna projects:

The Madison looks great. Retail at the base and a decent design. The location for it is awesome as well. Is it a go?
|
Yes, it is - in pre sale mode with ground breaking around sept or oct.
|
What's the status on that new bridge across the lake?

Can anyone post a skyline shot or panoramic view of the City? I haven't been to Kelowna since 99.
