SOLE DOWNTOWN: the second coming.You may already be familiar with the original SOLE
located at 1290 St. Paul Street in Kelowna. The new
SOLE DOWNTOWN at 1350 St. Paul Street is similar
to the original design, yet incorporates a number
of exciting enhancements. SOLE DOWNTOWN
offers open space living concepts on the upper
floors and commercial spaces on the lower levels.
How did the original Sole concept turn out? Not only
is it completely sold out, the building itself won the
2016 Tommie Award for Best Mixed Use Building.
If you’d like to get in on the second SOLE,
the time to act is right now.

Priced right in your neighbourhood. As far as living in the heart of a city,

SOLE DOWNTOWN is located in the cultural district of Kelowna. At this location you could say
you’re close to everything downtown – but in actual fact, you’re really at the centre of everything.
Consider these approximate walking times from SOLE DOWNTOWN: Prospera Place or Rotary Centre
for the Arts (2.5 minutes), Kelowna Art Gallery or Lake City Casino (3 minutes), Stuart Park, Waterfront
Park or Kelowna Yacht Club (5 minutes), Bernard Ave & Abbott Street and City Park (8 minutes).
So you see, if you like Kelowna’s downtown vibe, you can leave the wheels behind and be there faster
than Vancouverites can say “bumper to bumper traffic”.
SOLE DOWNTOWN is the centre
of it all.

Downtown Kelowna living
Kelowna: it’s sometimes called
The Napa Valley of the North
and Canada’s Laguna Beach.
With its lakeside location, hot summers
and proximity to world-class golf and skiing,
it’s not surprising that people come from far
and wide to vacation in Kelowna. But the
city isn’t just a lakeside playground. Kelowna
is rapidly evolving into a modern metropolis
with a vibrant downtown scene that rivals
those of many larger Canadian cities.

what’s inside?

SOLE’s footprint is simplicity by design.
Confucius once said, “Life is really simple, but we
insist on making it complicated.” Simply put, these
are the words we considered when we designed
SOLE DOWNTOWN. Homes at SOLE are not large
but are surprisingly roomy. They are efficient, with
compact features and yet fully optimize every
available inch. Additionally, they took less energy to
build, they require less energy to heat and, based
on their proximity to downtown, you may want to
sell your car too. In short, living in a SOLE home
reduces your footprint in a number of ways.
A home here may reduce your footprint, but it also
greatly reduces your mortgage payments, further
simplifying your life. Yes, in the choice between
S. M. L. or XL., S. stands for SOLE and smart.

SOLE SQUARED DEVELOPMENTS is a group
comprised of managing partners who create
leading edge projects in urban environments
for modern day lifestyles. Recognizing the growing
need for compact and affordable living spaces,
the group is adept at identifying desirable and
central locations that have the potential for walkable
neighbourhoods. With their close proximity to
downtown Kelowna, both SOLE projects serve
as excellent examples of this vision. Collectively,
SOLE SQUARED DEVELOPMENTS brings years
of experience in the areas of project management,
construction, development and accounting. Because
of this diversity, it may be said their whole is much
greater than the sum of their parts.
In any builder’s
portfolio there’s
a particular project
that comes to
define that company.
In our case, it could
well be both SOLE
developments,
particularly
SOLE DOWNTOWN.
They represent
the perfect blend
of enviable location,
leading edge design
and superior
craftsmanship. — Kevin Edgecombe
