The Station hopes to transform Tranquille into “Commercial Drive” of the North Shore
KAMLOOPS — It will be nestled in the heart of Tranquille, and the hope is The Station, a 47-unit development under construction, will transform into the “Commercial Drive” of the North Shore.
“The pieces are going into place. You’ve got Library Square, you’ve got Manshadi, you’ve got The Station. It’s only a matter of time unit all of these developments to start to roll forward,” said executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association Jeremy Heighton. “Then we start to look at a whole different fabric of our community. We’re talking about street festivals for next year, we’re talking about making Overlanders Day bigger, we’re talking about connecting to Buskers Day.”
Wednesday marked a groundbreaking for The Station, which will also include more than 10,000 square feet of commercial space. It’s currently at the midway mark with the concrete foundation for the building and parkade done and the framing for the residential units underway.
