Creston House groundbreaking marks beginning of The Reach Juan Cabrejo STAFF WRITER Ω The Cape Group, a Vancouver-based development company, has officially kicked off their endeavours at Thompson Rivers University with a groundbreaking ceremony for Creston House. This marks the first development for The Reach. Alan Shaver shared a few words on the project. “Today, we're going to see the beginning of something that’s been done right and is going to benefit not only Thompson
Rivers University but also the city of Kamloops,” he said. Creston House will be a 56-unit condominium building on one acre of land located on the north side of TRU’s Old Main building. The building is the first of many planned for the TRU campus. Finlay Sinclair, CEO of the TRU Community Trust, said construction will include a variety of zoning areas all over. “We’re going to develop mixed-use residential, retail and commercial areas up by the Subway entrance and Reservoir Coffee,” Sinclair said.

Sinclair also shared why he thinks people should consider the campus development. “I think the biggest attraction is that it’s right on campus – right where the education happens. And we’re building the environment for students. Instead of having to walk a kilometre to go to a coffee shop or to get groceries, it is going to happen all on campus.”
