Forty-four townhomes have been proposed for the McKinley Beach neighbourhood in northern Kelowna.

North American Group and Bluegreen Architecture recently submitted a form and character development permit application to the City of Kelowna for the project, which would be located at 3425 Hilltown Dr., just north of the Hilltown Drive-McKinley Beach Drive intersection.

Each townhome would be three storeys tall and made from wood-frame construction. The development would be known as The Pines.

“North American Group and Bluegreen Architecture’s design team feel that the combination of a modern design esthetic coupled with pedestrian friendly landscape features and contemporary building materials will provide a very functional and highly desirable residential neighbourhood project,” according to the application.

North American Group also has plans for a community amenity building on the site that would feature a gym, washroom/changerooms, an indoor pool, an outdoor hot tub, an outdoor firepit and natural gas barbecue pit for common use.
