“B.C. residents who currently reside in Kelowna or plan to move from Greater Vancouver made up 80% of purchasers,” states a news release from Mission Group issued today, Sept. 21. “The sales results so far showcase the ongoing trend of Vancouverites moving to Kelowna for a more affordable and idyllic lifestyle.”
In the last week, Mission Group sold 125 units, which are priced starting in the mid-$300,000 for a one bedroom. There are 178 units in the building altogether.
Still for sale are one and two-bedroom suites and a limited number of sub-penthouses.
“Our buyers love the convenience and quality of life each home offers,” Jessica Sorrell, director of sales at Mission Group, said in the news release. “In fact, several buyers initially interested in Brooklyn as an investment are now planning to move in at completion.”

The Brooklyn is the first of three towers Mission Group is building in what is dubbed the Bernard Block. The other planned highrises include a 16-storey office tower and a 34-storey residential tower.
