703-525 Nicola Street | Nicola Towers Concrete Condo

The Building

Concrete construction. So you actually hear the quiet.

Almost every newer apartment going up in Kamloops is wood frame. You hear your neighbour's TV. You hear the dog upstairs. You hear the door close down the hall.

This is not that. Nicola Towers is a poured-concrete building, which means walls and floors that absorb sound instead of carry it. Your unit feels like your unit.

Step Outside

You can leave the car parked.

This block of South Kamloops is about as walkable as Kamloops gets. The Saturday farmers market is a short walk. Riverside Park and the beach are right there. Coffee, restaurants, breweries, and the riverfront trail are all within a few minutes.

If you like having the city's energy outside your door without giving up a quiet place to come home to, this is the trade-off most people are looking for.

After Hours

The Sandman Centre is a walk, not a drive.

If you go to Blazers games, concerts, or whatever else is rolling through the Sandman Centre, you already know parking is the worst part. Living here, you walk over, you walk back. No lot, no traffic.

Same story with the Sagebrush Theatre — five minutes on foot for live music, plays, and touring acts. The summer farmers market, festivals, and the Riverside concert series all happen within a few blocks.

The Unit

Two bedrooms, one bathroom, 809 sq ft on the 7th floor.

South-facing, which means natural light all day and beautiful views across the city, the river, and the hills beyond. The kind of unit where you open the blinds in the morning and remember why you live here.

Two real bedrooms, not a den dressed up as one. The kitchen and living space flow together, the balcony catches the city below, and the layout works for one person, two people, or anyone working from home with a setup in the second bedroom.

Who This Works For

You probably already know if this is you.

The Downsizer

You're done with the yard work and the stairs. You want walking distance to everything, no car dependency, and a building that won't rattle every time the wind blows.
