Article content Local attractions such as golf courses, wineries and trails combined with the convenient location and resort-like amenities at , the second phase of Kerkhoff Develop-Build’s Sokana development in Penticton, are attracting a range of buyers — many of them with an eye to future retirement while families and friends buying together as a vacation condo is also a popular option. Sokana, comprising Riverview and Boardwalk, is being built in a coveted position in Penticton’s north end, says Bruno Jury, Kerkhoff’s senior VP of Development. “The convenience of local attractions and all necessary amenities close by simplifies the hosting of friends and family.
Directly outside your door, you’ll find extensive walking and biking trails along the well-known Penticton Channel, enhancing the convenience of daily activities and special gatherings, making it easy for residents to walk or cycle to a variety of attractions,” he says. A planned pedestrian breezeway will connect Sokana to Riverside Village Mall, providing easy access to shops and amenities while Okanagan Lake Beach and Lakeshore Drive with its restaurants and shops is just a short walk away. “The Penticton Golf & Country Club is also within walking distance, as is the South Okanagan Event Centre and the lively Brewery District,” says Jury noting that for wine enthusiasts, Naramata Bench, famous for its award-winning wineries, is a short drive from Sokana.
