KELOWNA, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–On September 19th, local Kelowna community builder, Mission Group, introduces its newest residential project, Bertram, a 34-storey residential tower that will offer 257 homes that feature studios, one-bedroom, one plus den, and two-bedroom homes.
Starting from the mid $200,000’s, the unique tower will incorporate visually distinctive and iconic architectural design, with a focus on cultivating community in downtown Kelowna, driving pedestrian traffic to the main floor shops and services along Bernard Avenue.
Bertram represents an escape from big city life without forgoing the luxury of big city amenities and culture. As part of the master-planned Bernard Block, Bertram offers ideal work-life balance, comforts and excitement in a growing, diverse city.
“We are very excited to be announcing the second concrete residential tower to the Bernard Block this fall,” says Luke Turri, Executive Vice President of Mission Group. “Bertram will bring even more inventory to the first multi-use, master planned community in the downtown Kelowna area, and will be one of the most amenity rich communities that Mission Group has built to date.”
Located in the vibrant urban village of Bernard Block in the heart of downtown Kelowna, Bertram is near boutique shops, coffee shops, local restaurants, urban wineries, craft breweries, and farmers markets, resulting in a walking and bike score of 98 and 99, respectively. The master-planned community is a three-minute walk from the future University of British Columbia Okanagan downtown campus that will bring next level vibrancy to the downtown core.
“The Kelowna real estate market is booming because home buyers are increasingly attracted to the lifestyle offered by smaller cities like ours and its diverse growing economy,” Turri says. “Not only is this building in a vibrant urban village, but the abundant area amenities, the waterfront park, and all areas of downtown is what makes this a great home and great investment.”
Bernard Block includes Brooklyn, the community’s first residential tower; The Block, which features Class-A offices and retail space; and now Bertram. The introduction of Bertram, the second residential tower, promotes a sense of neighborhood and connection, while offering an abundance of amenities that include a rooftop pool, community gardens, an outdoor sports area and indoor gym, and a shared workspace on the main floor. Bertram also wants to be pet friendly, including a pet spa (dog washing station), bike storage, and a bike maintenance room.
