MXD Development Strategists Ltd. is pleased to share that the Kelowna City Council has officially approved the redevelopment plan for the Kelowna Mill Site, marking a significant milestone for this transformational mixed-use waterfront project.
This ambitious plan will transform the former Tolko mill site—a 40-acre area in Kelowna’s North End—into a vibrant neighborhood featuring at least 3,500 homes, new parks, commercial spaces, and community amenities. Notably, 18% of the property is dedicated to parks and open spaces, including the environmental restoration of Sutherland Bay.
The project’s success reflects the collaborative efforts from the talented team at DIALOG, who led the process in successfully navigating public engagement to bring this visionary development forward. Their expertise and commitment have been instrumental in shaping a plan that aligns with Kelowna’s long-term vision for sustainable urban growth.
The redevelopment is planned to unfold over the next 25 to 30 years, significantly enhancing Kelowna’s downtown core by introducing a dynamic, mixed-use community that integrates residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. This development is set to become a key destination for both residents and visitors, contributing to the city’s economic vitality and quality of life.
MXD values the opportunity to have contributed to this project from a retail strategy, placemaking, and phasing perspective, and looks forward to continued collaboration with the City of Kelowna, DIALOG, and the community as the redevelopment progresses.
