Plan in motion

Located in downtown Nelson, B.C., the Nelson Commons building is on its way to being a substantial multi-purpose facility.

The project was initiated by the Kootenay Co-op as a way to establish a larger store space, and the store will occupy the ground floor. There will also be 54 residential suites above the co-op, as well as retail spaces and a large public gathering place.

As part of a creative effort by local designer David Dobie and architect Stephen Kaup, a display suite is being created at the intersection of Hall and Vernon streets. This will allow visitors to have a tangible idea of what the units will look like, and serve to pique the interest of potential residents.
