I'm excited to see a project like The Hive revitalize that part of town. Nice design and appropriate size. Will have to come see it for myself once it takes shape.

I've commented before that downtown Kamloops feels big city, not quite downtown Vancouver but maybe West Broadway, Westend, or New Westminster, thanks to the mix of old and new mid to high rises. The Hive is a fantasic project. Kamloops and Victoria is density on a human scale.
I love Kelowna but it's going to take decades for the downtown core to feel big city, plus Landmark is winning the commercial office space war. My biggest issue is they're going for these tall projects when there are so many surface parking lots begging for any development.
