Of course, the first thing you notice is the jaw-dropping view.
Out of the elevator onto the 23rd floor and past the big fish tank in the lobby is the open-concept reception area with city and lake views.
The boardroom, offices and client meeting rooms that ring the floor also all have killer vistas — downtown and Okanagan Lake to the west, Parkinson Recreation Center playing fields and mountains to the north, up Highway 97 to Orchard Park to the east and Springfield Road , farmland and mountains to the south.
This is the 11,620 square feet of office space that Wellington-Altus Private Wealth has on the 23rd floor of the new Landmark 7 tower.

Landmark 7 caps the Landmark District, the cluster of seven office buildings ranging from seven to 23 storeys, and District Market, the collection of restaurants just off Highway 97.
Wellington-Altus’ new digs are quite the contrast to the temporary offices it had on the fifth floor of the eight-storey Landmark 3 building for the past two years.
“We’ve been anxiously waiting to get into the new space,” said wealth advisor and portfolio manager Mark Mariotto.
“In the two years we’ve been waiting we’ve grown from four advisors and eight staff total to 17 advisors and 30 staff total.”
Wellington-Altus does financial and estate planning for high-net-worth clients and has plans to become the largest such firm in the city both in number of advisors and money under management.
Wellington Altus is ranked No. 1 firm overall by Investment Executive magazine as well as tops for company culture and its brokerage report card.
