City Gardens project gets the green light, construction to begin in spring 2022
KAMLOOPS — The Kelson Group has officially received its development permit for the City Gardens project in downtown Kamloops.
Council approved the permit for what the City of Kamloops says is the largest residential permit in the municipality’s history. City Gardens is a 525-unit, multi-family development comprising two high-rise buildings (24 storeys and 20 storeys) and four mid-rise buildings (each six storeys).
The development site is located on Battle Street and Nicola Street between Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue. A Nicola Street house was already moved as part of salvaging the downtown homes prior to construction.
The development will contain a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units, some of which will be sold as market strata units and others being operated as rental units, with commercial space planned for the ground floor of the two high-rise towers. An underground parking structure will contain over 800 spaces, including space for bicycle parking, scooter parking, and electric charging stations.
