Nearly three years after construction halted on the former Keg site at Lawrence Avenue and Water Street in downtown Kelowna, new plans for property have finally emerged.
Site owner Mark Anthony Group have submitted plans to the city for a 12-storey luxury boutique hotel.
Plans obtained by Castanet include a ground floor restaurant, rooftop lounge and 72-room hotel.
"Our vision is to create a dynamic space that serves as a beacon of the region's hospitality, catering to both residents and visitors to the Okanagan Valley," the project summary states.
"Featuring an iconic dining experience and rooftop lounge with access to breathtaking views, the hotel will become the 'place to be' reflecting the spirit and vibrancy of the Okanagan's renowned wine country, bolstered by Mark Anthony Group's deep culinary expertise.
"The design concept celebrates the existing heritage facade while introducing a fresh architectural language in a manner that is both sensitive and contemporary."
The application concludes saying the site is "truly a landmark opportunity" which will continue to tell the story of the city's past and future.
