Ritz-Carlton Residences Predator Ridge, Wesbild Holdings

Predator Ridge is set to become the first location in Western Canada to host The Ritz-Carlton Residences, bringing the iconic luxury brand to the Okanagan Valley in 2026. This project, led by Wesbild Holdings Ltd., marks a significant milestone as the first standalone branded residential development by The Ritz-Carlton in Canada. Perched in the breathtaking landscape of the Okanagan Valley, Predator Ridge has long been a premier all-season resort community, known for its rolling hills, expansive lakes, and sun-soaked vineyards.

The introduction of The Ritz-Carlton Residences will elevate this already stunning locale, offering a new level of luxury living, complete with the brand’s renowned service and attention to detail. There has been a growing consumer demand for branded, standalone properties within resort-style, amenity-rich communities. Owners value the luxury and service that comes with brands they have come to know and trust. With Residences currently in Montreal and Toronto, The Ritz-Carlton is a world-renowned luxury brand that is continuing to grow in Canada.

“For 33 years, Predator Ridge has evolved to become one of Canada’s premiere all-season resort communities, bringing regional and national success to the emerging Okanagan Valley. It is an honour to have been selected by The Ritz-Carlton, let alone be the host property for so many Canadian firsts,” says Brad Pelletier, senior vice-president, Wesbild Holdings Ltd.

Predator Ridge, located just 30 minutes from Kelowna International Airport, is surrounded by the North Okanagan’s Scenic Sip wine district. The community features distinct neighbourhoods, award-winning homes, and world-class amenities, all set against the backdrop of 36 holes of championship golf and picturesque mountain vistas. The future site of The Ritz-Carlton Residences is a carefully chosen location that offers panoramic views of the lakes, greens, and peaks, making it an ideal setting for the brand’s first standalone residences in Canada.

The Okanagan is a region in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It’s known for its wineries and fruit orchards. The main city of Kelowna, on the shore of the huge Okanagan Lake, is surrounded by pine forests and provincial parks. Kelowna’s downtown area incorporates waterfront City Park and a lakeside cultural district. The area around the cities of Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops is home to several ski resorts.

“When scouting new locations for The Ritz-Carlton Residences, we look for destinations that transcend the ordinary—places with distinctive style and discerning attention to detail. Predator Ridge delivers all this and more with unmatched natural beauty and a clear vision of the property’s endless possibilities,” says Sarah Khalifa, Vice President of Mixed Use Development, at Marriott International. “When we stood atop the site, we agreed, ‘This is the real Canada’. This was a place unlike anywhere else.”

Over the next decade, Predator Ridge will see an expanded trail system, a local winery partnership with O’Rourke Family Estate, a world-class Okanagan Gondola collaboration, as well as amenity introductions and expansions. These enhancements will solidify Predator Ridge’s status as a premier destination for luxury living. The project has been guided by Avington Financial, whose expertise helped secure The Ritz-Carlton as the development’s brand partner. The combination of Predator Ridge’s unique community, the Okanagan Valley’s natural beauty, and The Ritz-Carlton’s global reputation creates a powerful foundation for the project’s success.
