It91裸聊视频檚 no secret that Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 real estate sector is booming, but even people from other provinces are starting to notice.

An Ontario environmental engineer-in-training-in-training, who has for years focused on visualizing expansion rates in different Canadian cities, took special note of Kelowna.

In studying the city, Eric MacMillan said Kelowna seemed to 91裸聊视频榮pring out of nowhere91裸聊视频�.

91裸聊视频淚 was on a Kelowna section of a development forum online and I started seeing all these developments. And I just thought 91裸聊视频榳ow, this small little city nestled in the Okanagan is just going crazy with their density91裸聊视频�.91裸聊视频�

Given that Canada seems to be a real estate hot spot currently, MacMillan wanted to see what that looks like in terms of developments, starting off with the City of Mississauga. He became interested in 3D modelling while he was completing his undergraduate degree. He uses this technique to visualize these changes.

Since his first model of Mississauga, he has since done renderings of what Halifax, Ottawa, Barrie, Niagara Falls, Hamilton, London, Windsor, Saskatoon and Kelowna will look like in about ten years.

His models focus on how the boom in residential construction is impacting smaller cities.

, MacMillan learned that it makes more sense to grow up, rather than out.

91裸聊视频淚 saw that it makes more sense to grow up instead of sprawl out like other cities. You guys just have such limited land out there,91裸聊视频� he said.

MacMillan said while he went through approved developments in Kelowna, one shouldn91裸聊视频檛 take his rendering as a fully accurate picture of the city91裸聊视频檚 future skyline.

James Moore is the City of Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 long-range policy planning manager and he said MacMillan91裸聊视频檚 model is a reasonable expectation of what the city will look like in roughly ten years.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 never quite certain or a hundred percent clear and we91裸聊视频檙e not always sure if (the skyline) will turn out the way it looks like in the model,91裸聊视频� Moore said.

91裸聊视频淭his is a reasonable guess, but Kelowna actually grows mostly on the conservative side.91裸聊视频�

Moore said that even though MacMillan rendered mostly approved sites, some of those developments may actually fall through and not get built. He added that even though it may seem like there is a lot of building going on, the changes shown in MacMillan91裸聊视频檚 rendering actually take time to unfold.

91裸聊视频淐ertainly, we expect that in the next 20 years, Kelowna will do more growing up than out,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淏ut this is a great tool to engage people with what the city will look like.91裸聊视频�
