In a collaboration between Okanagan developer Emil Anderson Properties and the GP2 Properties limited partnership, groundbreaking progress has recently taken place at Shorerise—a meticulously planned, mixed-use community nestled on the picturesque hillside of Goats Peak Mountain and Gellatly areas in West Kelowna.
Thoughtfully designed to harmonize with the natural beauty of the landscape and seamlessly integrate with existing trail networks, Shorerise offers awe-inspiring views of the surrounding mountains, orchards, vineyards, and the glistening waters of Okanagan Lake below. This visionary development aspires to become a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and individuals seeking a vibrant lifestyle.
Shorerise presents an exciting array of offerings in its initial phase, showcasing a selection of exquisite lakeview home sites, perfect for those seeking to create their dream custom-built residences. Alongside these, a charming collection of semi-detached homes add to the diverse housing options available. As the community progresses into future phases, there are plans to introduce multi-family dwellings that encapsulate the vibrant essence of the active Okanagan lifestyle.
Looking ahead, the development group envisions the establishment of a captivating, walkable village center within the neighborhood. This envisioned village center will be a bustling hub, complete with boutique storefronts, enticing restaurants, and even provisions for a school, enhancing the overall appeal and convenience of the Shorerise community.
The first release will include a collection of custom single-family homesites coming to market by Fall 2023.
Shorerise features lakeview lots for a mixture of custom-built single-family homes and a collection of semi-detached homes. Later phases will offer a selection condominiums.
Shorerise is designed to complement the natural landscape and existing trail connections, offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, orchards, vineyards, and Okanagan Lake below. It promises to be a haven for outdoor and lifestyle enthusiasts, combining walkability to nearby downtown Westbank and the future Shorerise Village with an elevated hillside setting.
