Strata building stock in Kootenays
The Kootenays — Cranbrook, Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, and Revelstoke — carry a smaller strata footprint than the Lower Mainland but a building stock with significant heritage and 1970s–1980s wood-frame inventory. Revelstoke's resort condo complexes around the mountain are an active capacity-planning area.
