A Hub for Business and Creativity
Located in the geographic centre of Kelowna, the Landmark District is also at the core of our city’s future—a future powered by creativity and innovation. Entirely planned, built, and managed by Stober Group, our growing community is filled with a diverse mix of businesses, as well as art, food, and culture. It’s a welcoming, ever-changing environment designed by and for the people of Kelowna.
OUR HISTORY
1957
Al Stober founds his namesake company, Al Stober Construction. His early projects demonstrate his deep commitment to innovation, service, and quality, setting the tone for the six decades to come.
1980s
After two decades focusing on residential properties, Al is early to recognize a need for Class A office space in the Kelowna area. He dismisses downtown sites due to cost and a shortage of parking and zeroes in on the land that now is Landmark District.
1990s
Al’s vision of a new commercial centre gains momentum, and initial land-use contracts are put into place. A trip to Phoenix convinces him that taller concrete buildings, rather than short wood-framed ones, will better position Kelowna for the future.
1995
Landmark 1, the district’s first building, opens its doors. A major government agency and the accounting firm Crowe Mackay become early tenants, sparking an influx of businesses from downtown.
1997
Demand grows for office space within the Landmark District, prompting the construction of Landmark 2—Kelowna’s tallest building at the time. Tenants are attracted by the convenient location and well-maintained buildings, as well as Al Stober Construction’s fair pricing and responsiveness as a landlord.
2000s
In collaboration with the city, Al Stober Construction grows the district into a dynamic business hub. Landmark 3, 4, and 5 target the emerging tech industry, with built-in infrastructure and networks connecting businesses within the district.
2012
The completion of Landmark 6, an impressive 18-storey building, significantly elevates the district’s skyline, pushing the boundaries of height in the area.
2017
While walking in the district, Al's daughter, Carolyn, stumbles due to the lack of sidewalks. She initiates conversations about making the entire Landmark District more walkable and welcoming, leading to a bold new vision of an urban community that’s vibrant day and night.
2019
With the involvement of the second generation of the Stober family, the Landmark District moves closer to its future as a complete urban neighbourhood. The District Market opens, bringing new food options and new life to the area.
2020
Al Stober Construction becomes Stober Group. The new name reflects the ownership transition to Al’s children, Ken and Carolyn Stober, as well as a new future for the company rooted in stewardship and community building.
2022
Landmark 7 is completed. The district’s flagship tower, it epitomizes the modern workplace with cutting-edge boardrooms, an exclusive fitness centre, and 8,000 square feet of convention space.
2022
Stober Group also opens the Tree of Hope Plaza, an inviting space for locals to walk through, linger in, and enjoy. The public plaza offers new opportunities for community events, as well as pedestrian access to the District Market and the Parkinson Recreation Centre.
2024
Over the course of four decades, The Landmark District has redefined Kelowna’s urban landscape, becoming a sought-after business destination, a lively community, and a home for local events, including the Kelowna Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market.
2024
A fresh brand identity marks the start of a new era, reflecting Stober Group’s plans to transform the district into a magnet for the region—a must-visit locale with an immersive blend of culinary, cultural, and artistic experiences.
