Redevelopment Potential: The Hidden Value
Many Okanagan motels sit on large, prime parcels of land. While the motel provides current cash flow, the true long-term value often lies in the redevelopment potential for multi-family residential or high-density mixed-use, especially in Kelowna and Penticton.
