Yes, so did I. That is what it says on the side of the building. I think that extra floor is a variance that has not been granted yet? The extra floor will probably be need as the water table is too hight there for underground parking. I wish this beautiful building was higher - it is a masterpiece ( Kelowna standards at least )

Very cool. The only thing that I find odd about this building going in is how they got that property. Because wasn't that restuarant on that corner doing well? I guess they must have offered them a pretty generous offer...

Actually, no it was a flop right from the start. Tried them out when they first opened - they forgot the utensils, the food was horrible and they had generic pop ( really gross stuff to ).

Oh really? Well then.... TAKE IT DOWN!!!
But I would rather have a 14 storey building take its place even if it was successful...

The dev company has applied for a pre-loading permit so the preloading will most likely start next month with construction starting 6-8 months afterwards...

Cool video... The narrator sounds like a retard though haha. He's trying to do the classic news caster voice but its just not done right. I just thought i'd point out how stupid I thought he sounded. I'm stoked for this project. We just need more and more built downtown. I want to see a lot more bigger highrise projects built in the southern end of downtown as well. like bernard and stuff.
