Does anyone know what is going on with The Rise by 1440 Group? Across from the Golf Course over Glenmore Way?

It’s been the slowest moving project! There barely appears to be anyone on it at any give. Time and nothing much has been completed on it.

The Crane for Water st by the Park has been erected. Got a cool angle of a few cranes and on goings in the downtown core. Crazy to think there’s another about 3 or 4 cranes downtown not in this shot.

That is a great shot. You should share it on the Canada section.

I'm just curious, is the crane erection a significant milestone or something?

Also still waiting to hear on the investigation results of the crane tragedy from the Mission Group construction site.

Unhappy

Here’s a shot of south Pandosy area, doesn’t get enough credit for the buzz of activity there. Total of 6 tower and self erect cranes in the area.



Driving downtown to the Mission today I counted 11 tower/self erecting Cranes. Impressive amount of action.

Seems like such a waste of space when we could be adding so much more density than just 6 stories. Also looks pretty boring.

Due to the long massing nature of the building I doubt staff will give recommendation for approval.

By the time you see it on Castanet it's pretty much a done deal. This imho should be at least twice as dense as it's being proposed. We already killed the sky and mountain views from the waterfront. Might as well continue building density while we're here. We need more housing and this being such a big chunk of land really could have been a couple of towers and maybe even more.

Anyone know what the deal is with 1580 Water? It seems to have had nearly no progress in the last year.

Didn't city council shoot down an 8 storey proposal in the same area for being too tall for the area? I think they're adamant everything east of Richter stays below 6 storeys.

https://www.kelowna.ca/sites/files/1/docs/related/final_ocp2040_map4_1_heightsdowntown.pdf

The 10 lots in total are 120m wide so it's not terrible. I hope the city considers breaking up the block between Ethel and Richter which is 400 metres apart as the area gets redeveloped. Doesn't have to be a car street, maybe a pedestrian focused pathway.

For some reason, I thought the office component was only 11 storey. 17 storeys sounds way better!

I'm happy the office component is going up at the same time. We do need both.

175,000 Square foot Canadian Tire proposed at old Costco location. One of the largest, if not largest in Canada.
