02THE STORY
Dolphins, a landmark high-rise, established its presence on Kelowna's waterfront as one of the city's pioneering luxury condominium towers.
Completed in the early 1990s, Dolphins was designed to offer residents an unparalleled connection to Okanagan Lake and the surrounding natural beauty.
Dolphins, located at 1160 Sunset Drive, was completed in 1993. This 17-storey concrete high-rise was among the first of its kind to grace the Kelowna waterfront, setting a standard for lakeside living in the burgeoning cultural district. Its construction marked a significant moment in the evolution of Kelowna's downtown skyline, becoming the city's tallest building upon its completion and holding that distinction for a period.
The residences within Dolphins feature open-concept floorplans, many offering spacious covered balconies that capture panoramic views of Okanagan Lake, the city, and the mountains. Residents benefit from a suite of amenities designed for an active and relaxed lifestyle, all within a quiet, secure building that emphasizes owner-occupancy. Its prime location places it directly on the waterfront, adjacent to Rotary Marsh and the boardwalk, integrating seamlessly with the natural and urban landscape.

The neighbourhood
Kelowna North
The strip between downtown and Knox Mountain — home to Kelowna's marquee waterfront condos, the brewery district, Sunset Drive's lagoon-side towers and the beaches of Poplar Point.
The boardwalk, Bernard Avenue and the Cultural District, all on foot
Kelowna North is downtown Kelowna at its most walkable. Okanagan Lake runs along its whole western edge, and the waterfront boardwalk ties it together: from City Park, past the Sails at the foot of Bernard Avenue and Stuart Park, the Kelowna Yacht Club and Tugboat Beach in Waterfront Park, to the lagoons along Sunset Drive and on toward Knox Mountain.
One block inland, Bernard Avenue is the city’s main street, lined with patios, independent boutiques, galleries and cafés, with the lake at the end of every view. Water Street runs north through the Cultural District, past Prospera Place, the Kelowna Community Theatre and the Rotary Centre for the Arts, to the Delta Grand and the yacht club.
Further north, the old industrial blocks along Ellis and St. Paul have become the Brewery District, with taprooms like BNA Brewing and Kettle River Brewing, while Knox Mountain Park’s trails and the sandy beach at Poplar Point give the neighbourhood its outdoor side. It is the rare corner of the Okanagan where you can leave the car parked all week.
