Nice Kelowna photos. Bernard Ave sure has matured since I lived there. The house we rented at Lawrence and Richter is still there suprisingly. It wasn't very nice but an easy stumble back from Sgt. O's at 2am. Good times
There's some work happening on the other side of BNA where Flashbacks used to be but it's probably just a renovation for a new tenant. I was volunteering at the Central Okanagan Food Bank the other day too and once they're in at their new location on Enterprise Way, they'll be selling their current property for a healthy profit I can imagine. Their current location was so cramped so it'll be good for them to get some breathing room.
Exciting times for what is slowly become the entertainment district of Kelowna. I hope the residents of these towers won't oppose noise although there's little they can really do.
It's been interesting! Did you find it harder to white balance or did you just go with the flow?
I alternated between the pre-set white balances for sunshine and cloudy, besides that I always do some colour correction in post (hence it takes me forever to post pics).

...
According to multiple experts, Kelowna's real estate development market is booming and will continue to do so.

New high-density developments such as Ella, One Water Street and Cambridge House are continuing to be approved by City Council with the desire to provide enough housing units to a growing city.
The developments coming to downtown Kelowna are focused on greatly increasing the density of homes in the downtown core, which means they will be building way up.

"We as a team are very excited to be a part of a community that is growing and transitioning the way Kelowna is. While none of us can predict the immediate future, based on expert opinion it feels like the valley is headed in a very positive direction," said Marshall McAnerney of HM Commercial Group.
"Between lifestyle, job creation, cultural vibrancy... we really love living in the Okanagan.
Craft beer is opening in kelowna in the old paramount location according to retail insider

Another location is planned for Kelowna, B.C., as the company took over a heritage building there - the old Paramount Theatre - a block off the waterfront and it will open in the spring of 2018. It features a rooftop patio overlooking Okanagan Lake.
“We’re looking at opening one a year basically,” says L’Heureux.
And apparently they've already sold over 160 of the 220 units. Better than expected. The condo market in Kelowna seems strong, which bodes well for actually seeing all of the current proposals come to fruition.

The Ella tower went on sale on Wednesday and over two thirds of the condos are already sold (according to Global.) Very exciting news for Kelowna!
Wow. That's great news. Ella is the most exciting, I think; awesome location, a decent-looking tower with retail at the base, and another surface parking lot in downtown gone
I guess we'll be seeing two new towers rising in downtown in the near future. Nice!
