The architects who designed the Manteo Resort Waterfront Hotel & Villas are returning to Kelowna to build the tallest tower of the interior and the surrounding development.

Vancouver-based Ciccozzi Architecture will be responsible for Water Street by the Park, which will consist of three towers on the corner of Water Street and Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna.

“We look forward to working with Orchard Park Properties on such an important development for Kelowna,” said Ciccozzi founder Robert Ciccozzi in a press release. “The location of Water Street by the Park, the striking height of 42 floors, the incredible view and the use of solid wood are all very exciting elements for us as architects.

“We also welcome the opportunity to further define an incredible project in a city whose idyllic lifestyle has captured the imaginations of home buyers across Canada.”

Ciccozzi Architecture has won numerous awards over the years from organizations such as the Union of BC Municipalities, the Urban Development Institute, the Victoria Real Estate Board, and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association. It has worked in countries around the world including the United States, Mexico, Japan, Singapore, and China. Ciccozzi also designed Mt. The Boucherie Estate Winery’s new wine experience center.

“Our vision with Water Street by the Park is to create something that the city of Kelowna and the Okanagan will be proud of, and to create a unique set of towers and houses that reflect the beauty and vibrancy of the city and region Orchard said that said Park Properties co-founder Anthony Beyrouti.

“The history of Ciccozzi Architecture in Kelowna goes back 30 years. They know how much life on the lake improves mental health and quality of life, and like us they know that securing a lake property of this size and quality is becoming increasingly rare. “
