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,

it doesn’t get much better, or more

affordable than downtown Kelowna.

The opportunity is NOW with

SOLE DOWNTOWN, a collection of

studios, plus one and two-bedroom

homes starting at just $155,900.

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?

6 | soledowntown.ca

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 DOWNTOWN.

They represent

the perfect blend

of enviable location,

leading edge design

and superior

craftsmanship. — Kevin Edgecombe
