The average price for a single family home in Kelowna continues to skyrocket, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a home in the heart of one of the city’s busiest neighborhoods.

Mission Group is currently building 468 West, a six-story boutique complex that will consist of 48 rental apartments in Pandosy Village.

Renting at 468 West means immersing yourself in everything. Everything that makes life in the Okanagan so attractive is accessible on foot or by bike.

Lake Okanagan is less than a block away, which means the beaches are even closer. There are several parks, 24 restaurants and cafes, and a variety of shops and services nearby. Kelowna General Hospital is located on Pandosy Street and is also within easy walking distance.

On the other hand, you may not want to venture outside as you will feel just as comfortable in your home. Each home at 468 West has a private balcony or patio, in-suite washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and free private high-speed Internet. In addition, the steel and concrete construction ensures excellent soundproofing.

The breathtaking view of the lake and the valley is free.

“With 468 West, we wanted to create a convenience-rich rental community that would enable residents to experience a truly upscale lifestyle,” said Jon Friesen, CEO of Mission Group. “We’re excited to introduce a development that will serve Kelowna in new ways.”

468 West will also have a second floor full of amenities for its residents. An outdoor kitchen, gas grill, communal garden, picnic-style dining tables, outdoor lounge, flower shed to store tools, and artificial turf make life at 468 West like a home, but without the hassle and expense involved.

The building is also pet friendly with no size restrictions. There will be a pet wash area, a dedicated bike service bay with repair tools, heated lockers and bike storage, a secure parcel delivery service and an enclosed car park.

Monthly rental rates are estimated at $ 1,700 to $ 3,600 per month, with one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes available. Ancillary costs and electricity are included with the exception of electricity and cables.

The leasing starts in mid-March. Anyone who wants to register with 468 West can do so here.
