Kelowna’s Shasta Mobile Home Park, nestled near Rotary Beach Park, is poised for sale and development despite familial disputes among the four brothers who own the property. Originally part of a legacy left by their parents, the brothers have clashed over its fate for years. Recent court rulings have allowed the liquidation process to proceed, with Ernst & Young overseeing the sales process, despite objections from one brother, Ted. The property, considered a “Crown Jewel,” is expected to fetch a high price, although its current use is not deemed the most profitable.

With the park serving as one of Kelowna’s few remaining affordable housing options, its potential sale raises concerns about housing accessibility. Displacement of current tenants adds complexity to the development process, with rezoning anticipated to be a costly and challenging endeavor. Despite uncertainties, the court has approved a timeline for the sale, signaling a significant step toward the property’s transformation.
