Kiwanis Tower - 55+ Community in Kelowna, British Columbia

Kiwanis Tower, now identified in recent sources as Legacy Tower, is a 55+ senior apartment building at 1110 Lawrence Avenue in Kelowna. Built in 1976, the high-rise was created as affordable housing for seniors and has 146 suites, according to multiple sources. Its housing model differs from conventional active-adult subdivisions: residents rent apartments rather than purchase detached homes. The building’s central Kelowna setting, shared spaces and resident activities make it a practical option for older adults seeking apartment living with a social component.

Homes at Kiwanis Tower

The building contains 146 rental suites, with bachelor and one-bedroom layouts documented in community information. A prior Active Adult Living record lists approximately 380 square feet for bachelor suites and 580 square feet for one-bedroom suites; these dimensions should be treated as historical unless confirmed directly by current management. Current purchase pricing is not applicable to the rental model, and a reliable current rent range could not be independently established. The property is a high-rise apartment building rather than a detached-home or townhome development.

Amenities at Kiwanis Tower

Kiwanis Tower’s shared facilities are geared toward apartment living and resident interaction. Documented features include a main-floor common room, second-floor games room, 13th-floor library, storage lockers, coin-operated laundry facilities and elevators serving the building. Sources also report resident activities organized through a social committee, along with on-site meals and common areas in recent senior-living listings. A guest suite has also been documented. Current details about individual programs and meal arrangements should be confirmed with management before publication as offerings can change.
