New West Kelowna Apartments Being Planned for Vacant Lot

West Kelowna is continuing to see exciting new development proposals, and the latest project could bring more housing opportunities to the Reece Road area. A developer has submitted plans to build new West Kelowna apartments on two currently vacant properties, marking a step forward in addressing the community’s housing needs. The project is still in the early stages, but it represents a chance to bring more housing options to a growing city where demand remains strong. With the region’s continued population growth, new developments like this one are key to providing long-term solutions for buyers and renters.

The Reece Road Proposal for New West Kelowna Apartments

The application, submitted by Kerr Properties, seeks to rezone 2422 and 2446 Reece Road from low-density residential to medium-density residential. The plan includes two four-storey apartment buildings, each with 80 units. These would offer a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, giving residents a variety of choices depending on their lifestyle needs.

This is not the first time the site has been considered for development. In 2017, the land was rezoned, but the required off-site improvements were never completed. Later in 2021, a plan for 30 single detached lots was also proposed, but it never materialized. Now, with this latest proposal, the city has another opportunity to make meaningful progress in housing development.

City staff have already noted that the project aligns with the Official Community Plan and housing needs assessment. By increasing density, the development could help West Kelowna meet its housing targets, support infrastructure investments, and create more walkable neighbourhoods.

For prospective buyers and renters, projects like this are encouraging. New apartments add much-needed inventory to the housing market, which can ease some of the pressure caused by high demand. For investors, the appeal of West Kelowna remains strong thanks to its combination of lifestyle amenities and steady growth.

As the city continues to plan carefully and responsibly, these developments contribute to community-building. From improved roads to enhanced services, West Kelowna’s housing plan ensures that new projects like this make sense for residents while supporting long-term growth.
