Our client had a vision: Launch a local marketplace from the ground-up in time for the busy summer season.
Unfortunately, every vision comes with challenges to overcome: traditional construction methods were not possible due to cost, permitting delays, and time constraints. Needing a unique solution, they came to BOXX Kelowna. Our team was tasked with delivering a retail-ready space equipped with modern amenities, on a site with no existing infrastructure, that needed to be fully operational in a matter of weeks.
