Visitors flock to the Okanagan for its stunningly beautiful landscape and wine tasting in the summer months, but it is the residents of this area who can attest to the year-round oasis the region offers.
From skiing to golfing, biking, and beachgoing, the multi-season destination has inspired the lakeside development of Movala, blending cutting-edge design with spacious and modern luxury. Intended for retreat-like living, phase two of Movala is well underway, harnessing a new look and feel for the brand in Kelowna’s most sought-after location.
"Movala presents an exceptional living experience in vibrant Pandosy Village, just steps away from Gyro Beach—one of BC’s top beaches,” explained Lisa Lock, CEO of Stober Group, the development company behind the project. “This community offers a unique opportunity to own a home in a highly sought-after neighbourhood that perfectly blends lifestyle with a sound investment.”
At Movala, two residential mid-rise buildings connect via a spectacular resident-exclusive amenity space, one of Okanagan’s most extensive offerings. The resort-inspired pool with lake views, a hot tub, fireside lounges, a bocce lawn, BBQs, and dining tables will give homeowners that vacation-like feeling year-round.
“With spacious layouts that emulate the feel of single-family homes and a comprehensive package of community-oriented amenities, Movala is really the perfect place to experience the best of Kelowna in every season,” Lock continued.
It’s that desire for a more balanced lifestyle focusing on the community, connection to the outdoors, and overall well-being that is at the core of Movala. Residents of the new development will enjoy access to fitness and yoga studios, a social lounge and games room, and a library. With the changing hybrid and remote work landscape, Movala’s business centre also offers work hubs for a chic and inspiring office extension.
Lock says Movala intends to “redefine lakeside living in South Pandosy, blending luxury with functionality to meet the expectations of discerning buyers for an unparalleled living experience.”
The renowned Stober Group, the developer behind South Pandosy’s Movala, began over 60 years ago and has a longstanding history of developing acclaimed projects in the Okanagan area, such as the Central Green master-planned community and the Landmark District, a re-imagined business-focused area home to a host of amenities for locals and visitors alike.
With Movala, Stober Group took an innovative approach to the 325 elevated residences, curating expansive floor plans not seen in similar developments - with the look and feel of a custom-designed home. Each residence has an organic connection with the property's natural surroundings, including views of the lake, mountains, and city, which are on the wishlist of almost any homeowner.
The residences' visionary appeal can be attributed to Stober Group’s collaborative approach with acclaimed partners, says Lock: "Our collaboration with Greyback Construction and Begrand Fast Design has crafted a unique development with Movala that is a testament to our commitment to excellence in the Okanagan.”
Prospective owners might recognize Greyback Construction from its past projects, which featured innovative construction practices and highly specialized use of concrete formwork (as seen at Movala), offering an impressive safety record and industry credibility. At the same time, designer Begrand Fast Design brings its custom look, feel, and luxury sensibility to Movala’s take on elegant condo living, something not often seen outside single-family home design.
This new standard for lakeside living in Kelowna is the perfect partner for the dynamic, evolving community of South Pandosy - the gateway to culinary indulgences, convenience, and outdoor adventures.
“This new community will enjoy a lifestyle that seamlessly adapts to changing seasons, offering diverse experiences 365 days a year,” emphasized Lock.
Movala Tower One is slated for completion in June 2025, with Tower Two completed in April 2026.
