Kelowna Land Assemblies

Kelowna is one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities, and its 2040 Official Community Plan (OCP) is very clear about where that growth is meant to go. The city’s strategy is to direct a large share of new housing into five Urban Centres: Downtown (City Centre), South Pandosy, Capri-Landmark, Midtown and Rutland, along with the surrounding Core Area. 

These Urban Centres are planned to accommodate a significant portion of future residential and employment growth, with more apartments, mixed-use buildings, and walkable, transit-friendly streets.

Layered on top of this is a network of Transit Supportive Corridors that link neighbourhoods to Urban and Village Centres. Along these corridors, the city envisions low- to mid-rise apartments and mixed-use buildings supporting better transit and more housing choice.

For owners of single-family homes, small multi-family buildings, or underbuilt commercial sites in these areas, that combination, Urban Centres plus transit corridors, creates real land assembly potential. Developers are actively looking for groups of lots that can be consolidated into viable sites for new housing and mixed-use projects aligned with the 2040 OCP.
