WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C.— A mixed used development featuring a café and gathering space will be on San Jose Indian Reserve No. 6 near the intersection of South MacKenzie Avenue and Borland Street in Williams Lake.
Williams Lake First Nation (WLFN) announced the plans for “The Osprey Nest” Tuesday (Feb. 15) afternoon. It will also contain four separate open concept lofts on the second floor.
WLFN Chief Willie Sellars says they conducted a membership engagement session last week and the feedback towards the project was positive. The Osprey Nest will feature a 2,000 sq. ft. restaurant space, a near 1,000 sq. ft. outdoor patio space overlooking the lake and Scout Island, an indoor mezzanine providing an intimate area for private meetings and an outdoor rooftop patio. The second floor will be high-end open concept loft spaces that are 18-feet high.
“This building will truly be a game-changer for our region,” Sellars states. “We expect to utilize these lofts to provide accommodation to professionals working on major projects in and around Williams Lake. These units will also provide options for locum physicians, teachers and others who we are attempting to attract to this area. There will really be nothing comparable in terms of temporary accommodations in and around Williams Lake.”
