It’s a big day for housing in Kelowna. The City has launched its new infill fast-track program to speed up development approvals and create more much-needed housing for our growing community. Over 1300 MF1-zoned lots are now eligible for ‘fast-track’ approvals with 4-6 units allowed per property. This means property owners and developers can see their complete permit applications processed within days - rather than months - when working with a pre-approved design. Over time, the program has the potential to deliver up to 7,000 new homes and help us meet the demand for more diverse and affordable housing options. Learn more at kelowna.ca/infill
Congrats to the City of Kelowna for the launch of this forward thinking program. SRI Homes was very happy to participate in a modular construction friendly design as part of this initial launch. Over and above the 5 multifamily plans we currently have, we are looking forward on developing future modular designs as part of this program that builders/developers can take advantage of once they realize the speed, cost, and quality benefits associated with modular (offsite) construction.
What a great concept and visionary program City of Kelowna! Incredible designs and layouts selected as the Top 3 and Honourable Mention studios: 🟡Miguel Angel Jimenez Gonzalez Cruz; ⚪️SNDBOX 🟠TWOBYTWO Architecture Studio; 🟢Oh Song Studio Would be interesting to see a prefab design option included in the program…and a local one! Built Prefab 👍
As someone waiting to break into the housing market and and who does not want to purchase a SFH, I am eager to see how this transforms the market and neighbourhoods, specifically the North End!
If anyone reading this is interested in developing these types of lots, please reach out. We can help from design to full construction permit drawings as well help to provide the pre-approved designs to fast track the process. Cheers, [email protected]
Thank you City of Kelowna and team for featuring Mosaic by SNDBOX in your fast-track program. We're really excited to see all designs take shape in our community.
Congrats. Great news. Will be nice to start seeing fast approvals and quicker builds! Great work!
Congratulations to TWOBYTWO Architecture Studio for their part in the infill fast-track program and their awesome design! 🥂
Hm. Should call Lime Architects and get Matt on it!
