Kelowna city council grants development approval for Okanagan’s tallest building

It was a full house crowd at the Kelowna city council meeting Tuesday night where the fate of a huge downtown development project was at stake. Most of the public speakers were in favour of the high-rise hotel proposal. And when the vote was taken, most of the councillors were also in favour. It means the sky-line of downtown Kelowna is likely in for a big change as the site of the Okanagan’s tallest building.
