Kelowna is the largest city in the Okanagan Valley region of the Canadian province of British Columbia, with a metropolitan area population of around 250,000 as of 2025. Kelowna has some of the tallest buildings of any metropolitan area of its size in North America. The city contains many of the tallest buildings in British Columbia outside of Greater Vancouver. As of 2026, Kelowna has 21 buildings taller than 50 m (164 ft), three of which exceed 100 m (328 ft) in height. The tallest building in Kelowna is The Eli at Water Street by the Park, a 137.8 m (452 ft), 42-storey residential tower completed in 2025. The first high-rise in Kelowna is considered to be the 12-storey Kiwanis Tower (now Legacy Tower), constructed in 1976. Between 1994 and 2005, a trio of condominium towers—The Dolphins, The Lagoons, and Sunset Waterfront Resort—were built on Kelowna's waterfront on Okanagan Lake, each successively becoming the city's tallest building upon completion. They were followed by Skye at Waterscapes in 2010, which rose to 83 m (273 ft). Since the late 2010s, Kelowna has been undergoing a significant high-rise boom, driven by the city's healthy population growth, limited land availability, and support for infill development. All five of Kelowna's tallest buildings were completed after 2020, transforming its downtown skyline. UBCO Tower, a skyscraper under construction to house the
