Channel Crossing, Penticton

PDG (Property Development Group) is developing a 250,000 square foot destination retail centre in south Penticton at Channel Parkway and Green Avenue on lands owned by The Penticton Indian Band. Additional phases will include opportunities for large format tenants. Construction is targeted to commence in 2015.

This will mean that a new multi-lane bridge will need to be constructed this winter at Gree Avenue in Penticton.

The federal government has kicked in $2.9 million to help build a bridge across the southern part of the Okanagan River channel at Penticton.

The Penticton Indian Band plans for the construction of a new bridge over the Okanagan River at Green Avenue West in 2015.

The Satikw Crossing will provide access from Highway 97 to the Channel Lands and is part of a long term economic strategy that will create up to $2 million in annual revenue for the Band and over 600 jobs in the next 10 years.

The strategy also includes future development plans of retail space, 270,000 square feet of business/light commercial space, and a 150 room hotel.

The project is expected to be tendered by November 2014.
