Major West K residential development takes step forward

Dec 10, 2025 | 4:17 PM

Nothing has been decided yet but a proposed major residential development in West Kelowna has taken a step forward.

On Tuesday, City Council gave first reading to a Zoning Bylaw amendment for Brown Road that, if adopted, could allow for a major mixed-use residential development of 400-plus units in townhomes and/or four-to-six-storey apartment buildings.

The project includes commitments for a 150-space daycare facility, more than three hectares of parkland, trail connections, off-site sidewalks and road improvements.

The undeveloped land could feature over 400 new housing units/ City of West Kelowna

However, not everyone is happy about the potential for so many new homes.
