I don't know what you're expecting for Kelowna (metro population >200,000 people) but I don't think they're too realistic. If you're expecting Absolute World, the Burj Khalifa or Turning Torso, you better be patient. It's completely unrealistic to expect world-class architecture in a small(ish) city.

I think he's saying he'd like to see a little more variety and some more modern design.

Found a pdf ( 177mb! ) with more photos on the Monaco development:

Looks great!

North Face is opening in the former "Euro Sport" location on Bernard. Nice to see another major retailer opening downtown.

Looks great!

My browser will not allow me to open the pdf.

Is there any way you can take some screen shots of the renders?

Also any work happening on Landmark 6? (clearing, excavating...?)

Cheers

With regards to Landmark 6...they are working on the underground portion now.

Also, with SOPA the first crane is up.

thanks for posting the pix vitc!!

vitc · #**571** Posted **May 27, 2011, 8:18 PM**

So what you think Dylan? I love it!

Metro-One · #**572** Posted **May 28, 2011, 12:30 AM**

Wow, I love the Monako! I really, really hope this gets approved and is u/c by next year. These could dramatically alter Kelowna's skyline.

Which one is SOPA? Edit, NM, I found it on google. Sweet.

Thanks for posting!

interesting that the development permit for the project known as "24", having lapsed, has been reapplied for with the City:

http://www.kelowna.ca/iDevelopment_Apps/...elopment+Permits&str_name=&process=Searc

good to hear it's not totally dead.

giallo · #**577** Posted **Jul 14, 2011, 3:03 AM**

^Awesome.

24 was my favourite development during the last boom cycle. It has a nice design and GREAT location. I was really disappointed to see it fade in obscurity. Here's hoping it's got a fighting chance this time.

vitc · #**578** Posted **Jul 14, 2011, 5:33 PM**

Well, the new downtown plan ( not finalized ) would prevent the 24 from being built. So I can see this as a preemptive strike. Unfortunately, I just don't see it being approved in the current political climate. I hope I am wrong.

Everything I've seen/heard is that Council intends to give 24 special consideration as an exception to the Downtown Plan (which would have Bernard Ave remain lowrise-only), e.g.,:
