A Kelowna-based developer is ready to break ground on a retail centre near the intersection of Boundary Road and Highway 97.
Troika Management Corp will break ground on the Caribou Crossing project located at 7373 Boundary Rd. on July 19.
The developer says Caribou Crossing will add over 80,000 square feet of commercial retail space and is positioned to serve south Prince George and transient highway traffic.
“By prioritizing sustainable building practices, contemporary architecture, and essential amenities, this location will serve as a vibrant hub for residents and visitors, offering a modern destination for daily conveniences,” said Troika Developments in a statement on its website.
A development permit was approved January 2022 and construction is estimated to conclude in this fall.
Information released by Troika Developments in 2021 stated that phase one of the development was expected to include a gas station, convenience store, and drive-thru restaurants or other commercial stores built to suit the tenants.
Restaurants, a grocery store, hotel, and professional services were listed as potential tenants for Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the project.
The project is expected to serve the roughly 14,600 vehicles per day passing by on Highway 97, as well as businesses in the Prince George Global Logistics Park, airport area, and surrounding neighbourhood.
