It's nice to see Kelowna finally getting some form of a skyline but to be quite frank, for a metro of 180,000 it's pretty bad.
It would be good to see a large development in downtown but not of the sort they have had. Kelowna's waterfront is more of a resort than anything else. A vibrant community has housing and services for all socio/econ bankgrounds. Kelowna's Waterfront is a haven for strickly the very wealthy, it's almost a pseudo gated community.
I guess this is why I have never been a fan of Kelowna, it's more of a resort than a true urban centre of nearly 200,000. Time-share also have a steller record of raising general housing prices as they take up valuable land in urban cores which inhibits the ability of having a diverse community.
I may ruffle a few feathers here but I think Kelowna is one of the worse planned and unstainable cities in the country were half the population live in $500k homes and the other half live in trailers and never the two shall meet.
