Water st by the Park finally posted high-resolution facade rendering with the new artwork.



Currently, the future tallest tower is at level 8 already



(c) DevelopKelowna

I wouldn't say I am a huge fan of it as I mentioned before, also seems like the wall grew in size. Was 3 levels tall in previous renderings (2-4 with opening on level 5), now 4 levels (2-5).

It’s not the worst, the flower at the end is a nice touch, but it should be broken up into 3 or so distinct sections.

Zoning rules have put in place since this project to ensure they are broken up.

I noticed the dumpy mossy roof covered building at the bottom of this photo,which has had a “pending” sign on it for about a decade, is now in fact sold and has some Worman signage on it.

Looks like this is what’s planned for it: https://www.worman.ca/_files/ugd/382022_afee5d860bbe4252857d29414e4bd1c7.pdf

I've noticed the same thing here in Kamloops with the responders on castanet. EVERYONE is apposed to EVERYTHING. However it seems to be the same 10 people continuously.

I was under the impression it is a Castanet audience, older generation.

Not a bad-looking tower at all.

Now that is a great looking building. Has the looks of an office building, but not the use. Very jealous of this one Kelowna.

Awesome looking building, sharp edges and corners. We need more of this style.

Yep, it’s simple but sleek, and I was wrong, it’s 128 meters.

For a smaller city, despite the podium debate, Kelowna actually does really well for building designs. Ranging from plain to elegant.

If you want to see bad, look at Kitchener! Ranges from grotesque to gaudy.

Kitchener Waterloo makes me legitimately sad. The fact that a city can build that kind of dreck en masse in the 21 century shows me that we as a society haven't learned a thing. It's choosing to become one of the ugliest modern cities on the continent.

I wouldn’t say it as an entire collective “we as a society” because as we can clearly see not everywhere is as bad as Kitchener. For me it shows how localized culture can be, even in a country as young as Canada. It’s a strange thing that we normally can’t see, but for some reason reveals itself in odd attributes, such as in architecture.

Water street by the Park is going make a major impact on the skyline cluster....Starting to poke out now.

UBC-O hole can be seen in the foreground with the orange fencing, as well the parking lot which is attached to the UBC-O site is the location of Mission Groups proposed 40 story tower.

Here is a different perspective of Water Street Park from the Hwy. Can see it going up quickly from this view. Crane will need to be raised in the near future.
