Kelowna Construction

[Metro-One]

This project is such a tease, really want it to go through. It is big and ambitious for Kelowna we must remember. At least it has a pulse.

The sales center was originally scheduled to open in the Spring, now they say "a few months". Unlikely to see any construction at this year it seems. I thought they would push to have the sales center open this month in time for tourist season.

Still no official height provided in the media release nor on the City of Kelowna development website.

That office building looks awesome. How exciting. It is amazing how fast Kelowna is growing.

Was just trying to find the official height myself on the Kelowna development site. Maybe have to ask Landmark themselves?

A 23 floor office tower can vary quite a bit in height, from the low / mid 90 m range to the 110 m range.

Very exciting project for Kelowna. Looks good too.

They're proceeding on spec. There must be a lot of confidence in the market out there. I wonder if they're not capitalizing on the desirability of the area to draw companies there. I know of a number of Edmonton companies that have opened satellite offices in Kelowna, One has been slowly transitioning staff to their Kelowna office for the last few years.

They’ve broken ground on just about all of the new clement projects (6 story (x2) on north side, 6 story adjacent to St. Paul, new commercial beside sun Rype). Driving west down clement will be nearly unrecognizable in about 8 months time with these additions and the height from Ellis Parc/One Water down the corridor. Love it!

Speaking of corridors - Ellis street will be worth a few photos in the near future looking either direction!

That's fantastic. This means Clement Avenue is steps closer to its long overdue widening and intersection improvements. I read the city will cover any remaining sections not affected by these new developments.

I'll be heading to Kelowna in a few weeks and will try and get some good shots!

Looks like the foundation slab has been poured at Brooklyn!

There's a cool progress video on Mission group instagram.

The St Paul on Clement, site prep is underway for another similar development right next door.

I had to abandon taking pictures on Clement as I got caught out in a heavy downpour! I will get out again some evening this week.
The change on Clement in the last couple of weeks is incredible! Two large developments underway on the North side from Richter all the way up to Graham!
On the South side, there is a new development underway next door to the St Paul, another at Richter and Clement, and more homes slated for demolition between Ethel and Richter.

[mountainman]

Forgot to add the foundation slab at Brooklyn!

[rdave]

Wow, fantastic update! Thank you very much.

I'll be there next week. I'm excited to stroll through the changing downtown.

[DKaz]

Great photos, thanks mountainman!

[240glt]

yup great update. The development in Kelowna is impressive. Can't wait to check it out while we're bumming around the Okanagan on summer holidays in a couple weeks

[giallo]

Once again, you're the man, mountainman.

I'm in town until August, so I'll try to contribute some updates over the coming weeks. I really want to take a night shot of downtown from Knox Mountain.

[mountainman]

No problem guys, I'm glad to be able to contribute to the forum!

New gas station, convenience store and car wash on Clement, between Graham and Ethel. The only remaining undeveloped section on the North side will be from Graham to Gordon. Clement will be unrecognizable very soon!

Possibly my favourite project, one of the two new breweries under development in the area

I'm shocked and disappointed that they are allowing a gas station and car wash in an area that they are trying to urbanize and turn into a new, walkable extension of the downtown core. What a waste.

Thanks for keeping everyone up to date mountainman. I live in the ethel/clement area so these developments are pretty exciting and fun to see changing all the time. Not sure how I feel about the gas station, could be convenient I suppose, but not really the best place in my opinion. I hope a grocery store of some kind goes in there though. Safeway should sell the bernard/richter location and move over here to clement!

[vicdevelopments]

Here in Victoria all the Safeways turned into Save on Foods. There is no longer any Safeways here.
