UBCO should really help fill this in if it ever is completed.
Right now the north end of downtown where waterscapes and one water street is located is doing the heaviest lifting and feels the most "big city"
The bernard block is the second big cluster, an the Eli (waterfront by the park?) should also soon make another cluster. It reminds me of some suburban vancouver skylines since it's mostly condos with very few commercial towers.
From the street level it looks fine, but from a distance it really needs to fill in more. I hope the 12 story hotel gets build as well as of course UBCO and that BC Housing tower.
I think a few more 10-20 story buildings in between the clusters would make a big difference. Either way Kelowna is very much looking like a proper city now.
