Preliminary site works, including sanitary servicing, have already been occurring. The project contractor, Clark Builders, will begin deep excavations in the spring, with foundations installed by the end of 2026.

The structure will begin to rise from the ground in 2027, with steel erection, building envelope, and systems installation. Drywall installation, fit and finish, and equipment installation will occur in 2028, working toward a grand opening in 2029.

BUSINESS/RESIDENT IMPACTS

The project team will maintain close communication with all affected properties regarding impacts such as property access, parking, deliveries, and solid waste collection.

For the duration of the project, vibratory compaction equipment will be in use; therefore, any fragile items should be packaged or protected from damage due to vibration.

Surrounding properties can also expect noise disruption and heavy truck traffic.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS

During construction beginning in early February 2026 until completion in 2029, portions of the surrounding roads will be used for staging and deliveries, resulting in lane closures and adjustments.

PARKING IMPACTS

Until the completion of the project in 2029, street parking immediately adjacent to the north, east, and south sides of the site will be unavailable.

Additional parking within the surrounding area may also be restricted in accordance with the contractor’s Traffic Management Plan.

Satellite work areas and offsite crew parking will be used to reduce parking pressure in the area.

PEDESTRIAN IMPACTS

Pedestrians will have sidewalk access in the area, but will be limited to the opposite side of the street only.

Pedestrian safety is of the utmost importance to the project team. When travelling through the area on foot, please obey all signage and traffic control personnel and do not enter into prohibited work areas.

TRANSIT IMPACTS

The transit route along 4th Avenue may be impacted during construction. For more information on scheduling and route planning, visit BCTransit.com/Kamloops.
