Central Green
Designed by the commmunity for a sustainable future
The City of Kelowna is leading the development of Central Green, a five-hectare site located in Kelowna’s South Central community adjacent to downtown.
Central Green will help set a new standard for development within the city, exemplify sustainable planning and building practices in an economically responsible manner. At its heart will be a landmark community park that is surrounded by low-rise residential development.
Located across from Kelowna Central School, the site is bordered by Harvey Avenue, Richter Street and Rowcliffe Avenue. The Central Green site was once the home of Kelowna Senior Secondary School.
What's New
Council has approved the new Central Green Comprehensive Development Zone- CD22. The guidelines provide for the integrated design of a comprehensive development of Central Green as a low environmental impact mixed use development.
The timing of redevelopment will be market driven and will be largely made up of residential housing with some commercial use components. The aim is to create manageable parcels in which a number of development companies can share in the process of building sustainably.
Meeting Community Needs
- The Central Green project will embrace high-quality urban design and compact community living.
- The development will become the heart of socially conscious living in the South Central Kelowna neighbourhood.
- A two-hectare area has been reserved for a community park and widened sidewalks, open patios and courtyards will create accessible public space among commercial and mixed-use buildings.
- Affordable Housing units will be an essential part of the overall design.
- Commercial areas will complement the existing downtown business sector.
