Water Street Kelowna News

Mark Anthony Group Of Companies,Canada

The Mark Anthony Group purchased the old Kelowna Courier Building on Water Street and four years knocked down everything but the brick facade. 

Plans for a historic downtown Kelowna building are being scaled back, and it may bring new life to what’s devolved into stagnant construction site sooner than later.

The plan was to incorporate the historic exterior into a two-storey wine bar, lounge, education centre, lab and a wine shop. Those plans, however, never came to be due to liquor licensing troubles, and the building has sat as a vacant construction zone ever since. “The applicant has been in discussion with staff on the condition of the crane onsite and the condition of the stalled construction site on the subject property. The applicant agreed to a fast-tracked schedule to expedite the project’s reconstruction start date. A development permit for a four-storey mixed use building will come forth to council shortly to analyze the form and character.
