For 11 years it was Kelowna’s most despised dirt pile.  Now a prime piece of downtown real estate is finally getting developed.

 Work on One Water Street, starting with an upscale 36 storey high rise,  is now officially underway.  

So far, 190 homes have been sold in the East Tower since October, which has led to an accelerated start of sales for the West Tower. That will be announced at the groundbreaking on Tuesday.

Once both residential towers are completed, they’ll stretch 119 and 97 metres into the Okanagan sky, containing a total of 404 units.

The units will sit on top of a three-storey podium that will be masked by retail space and house close to 500 parking stalls.

In between the two towers, above the podium, will be “The Bench,” which will feature greenery, a dog park, two swimming pools, sports facilities and a multi-purpose amenity room.
