Hi All. New poster, long time follower. With all of the construction and proposals floating around, I thought I would try to put it all in one place and please correct me if I am wrong on anything. I'm not including the 5 towers proposed in West Kelowna or the multitude of 4-6 storey structures currently in progress and proposed. Just Kelowna and in excess of 10 floors.
Under Construction:
Sopa - 14 Floors
1151 Sunset - 21 Floors
One Water East - 36 Floors
Ella - 20 Floors
Ellis Parc - 14 Floors
Approved:
One Water West - 29 Floors
Westcorp Hotel - 33 Floors
Aqua 1 - 12 Floors
Aqua 2 - 14 Floors
Aqua 3 - 16 Floors
Development Application:
1471 St Paul - 24 Floors
Capri 1 - 22 Floors
HollyPark - 16 Floors
Cedar Ave (Jenga)- 15 Floors
Prospera North - 37 Floors
Prospera South - 27 Floors
I also know of 5 major development sites in the downtown core being considered for development proposals, though nothing is public on those yet as I understand. Feel free to add if I missed anything.
Location: Kelowna via Calgary via Edmonton via Saskatoon

Welcome to the forum Nray!
Thank you for listing those. The only thing I’d add would be that One Water Street is East (36fl) and West (29fl) rather than north/south but otherwise looks great!
The old Bargain Shop is about to take on a whole new image.
The Mission Group is finally sharing its vision for the parcel of Bernard Avenue it purchased last September, and the new name for the project.
The stretch of the main strip where the former Bargain Shop building now stands will be redeveloped as the Brooklyn Bernard Block and will offer concrete condominiums with a variety of size options. Sales are set to begin in the summer of 2018, and will be priced in the $300,000 range and up.
The development site covers an entire city block in downtown Kelowna and totals 1.5 acres. The building has sat vacant for the better part of a decade.
When the Capital News spoke with him last, Randy Shier, Mission Group president, said that the project would likely be built in three phases.
The St. Paul portion, which allows for development up to 19 storeys tall, was expected to be built first.
In total, however, Shier said the Brooklyn Bernard Block is about five to six years from being fully realized, which will allow time for people to weigh in on its plans.
When the sale went through, Kelowna residents were brimming with ideas for what should replace the old bargain store.
“A ‘70s funplex, with a roller rink, bowling alley, disco dance area and fun place for the kids. (Or) more added retail that supports independent, local businesses and housing,” said Lori Sellen, of the neighbouring business, HITZ Boutique, at the time.
Others said they’d like to see somewhere to go dancing, and others wanted a local market.
“I love the creativity and outside-the-box thinking,” Shier said. “It’s wonderful to know that the community wants to see something happen and our hope is we do the right thing …We may not make every one happy, there may not be a bowling alley or a roller rink, but we’re going to try.”
Pictures are great mountainman. Thanks for the update.
Also, given the incredible amount of upcoming highrise development in Kelowna, would it be so crazy to request having a Kelowna subforum just like Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver have? Would be much easier to keep specific developments organized.
Thanks for the pics, mountainman. And welcome to the forum.

It might be best to see how many of these projects go through. It looks like three projects are now active, but who knows what will happen to the others. I'd say give it to the end of summer before requesting a subforum.
