Strategic Location

(Click to see location on Google Map)

The City of Kamloops is the metropolitan and shopping hub of the Thompson, Nicola and Shuswap economic district with about 85,000 people residing within its municipal boundaries.

Kamloops is situated in the heart of British Columbia’s Southern interior in a lush scenic valley, at the confluence of the North Thompson River and the South Thompson River.

The name Kamloops comes from the First Nations word Kahm-o-loops, meaning meeting of the waters. This confluent root of the name Kamloops is apt, as the Trans-Canada Highway, the Yellowhead Highway, Highway 97 and the two national railroads (CN and CP) all converge here, providing excellent visitor access to the Kamloops area and to Tranquille.

Visitor access to Tranquille is further enhanced by the intention to re-establish a passenger-train stop and station on the CN railway line which passes through the site.

The development comprises 471 acres within the city limits of Kamloops on the former Tranquille Sanatorium, farm, and waterfront property; a 5 minute drive from the airport and a 15 minute commute from downtown Kamloops.
