Public info session on master plan for North End’s Mill Site

Oct 20, 2025 | 4:16 PM

There will be an opportunity for the public in Kelowna to give input on the extensive master planning for the Mill Site area at the City’s North End.

A public info session will go this Wednesday at 1001 Manhattan Drive from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“It has been an exhaustive process”, Mark Marshall, Holar Development’s President, said in a media release Monday. “This plan really encompasses all of the key priorities the public has communicated to us over the planning period”.

According to Marshall, these priorities include a mixed-use neighbourhood that creates a range of new multifamily living and working options, multi-modal transportation choices, a publicly owned and accessible waterfront and extensive pedestrian connectivity – with links to the downtown, the North End and Knox Mountain. He adds, “It is a community-driven and exciting reimagining of the vacant industrial site and it will transform the North End and Kelowna”.

It could take 20 to 40 years for the Mill Site – the former 40-acre mill property- to fully build out.
